Unlike its glory days four years ago when it was riding atop the ratings week after week thanks to the success of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, ABC's return to No. 1 last week turned out to be shortlived. CBS grabbed the crown back again for the 15th time in 17 weeks, as it averaged a 9.0 rating and a 14 share. Moreover, NBC, thanks to the Golden Globes telecast and a new hit show, Medium, moved back into second place with an average 8.2/13 rating. ABC settled for third place with a 6.8/11, while Fox, thanks to the NFL playoffs, remained a contender with a 6.0/9.
The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research: 1. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CBS, 17.0/26; 2. AFC Playoffs Postgame Show (Indianapolis at New England), CBS, 14.5/23; 3. Desperate Housewives, ABC, 14.4/21; 4. NFC Playoffs (St. Louis at Atlanta), Fox, 14.0/24; 5. Lost, ABC, 12.6/19; 6. NFC Playoffs Pregame Show (St. Louis at Atlanta), Fox, 12.5/22; 7.
