It comes as no surprise to anybody – but it's still great news for the show, the fans and CBS that CSI: Miami and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation finished top of the pile on Monday and Thursday nights – the latter still being primetime's number one show.
According to figures from "Murder in a Flash" scored a CSI: Miami 15.3/23 rating this week, placing it easily first in its timeslot with 21.35 million viewers tuning last Monday. These ratings mean that out of all the households in America, 15.3% were watching Miami, rising to 23% when factoring only in those households actually watching TV at 10:00pm. CBS also opened the week wihth highest number of overall viewers for the night (16.36 million average over the night).
