A late start because of President <font color=yellow>George Bush's</font> press conference couldn't stop CSI: Crime Scene Investigation from taking pole position on Thursday night.
The repeat of "The Execution Of Catherine Willows" left the competition headless with an overnight rating of 15.8/23, the Futon Critic reported. This means approximately 15.8\% of American households with television sets were tuned into the show, while the episode was viewed by 23\% of households watching television at the time.
As it aired from 9:45 - 10:45 p.m., CSI faced varying competition, including reruns Friends, which averaged a 10.7/15 from 9:00 - 10:30 p.m., and a new episode of Good Morning Miami from 10:30 p.m., which managed a 7.5/12. ABC's Primetime Thursday averaged a 6.8/11 in the 10:00 p.m. hour.
CBS won the night with a 14.1/21, aided by CSI's strong lead-in, Survivor: Amazon (14.3/20), and a potent 10.9/10 achieved by a rerun of Without A Trace from 10:45 p.m. NBC came second with a 10.4/15. followed by ABC (6.3/9), UPN (4.3/6), Fox (4.0/6) and the WB (2.9/4).
These figures are based on overnight ratings from the top US markets, with final ratings expected to be available sometime next week.
