NBC finally has a No. 1 show
From City News Service
Original episodes of unscripted series dominated viewing choices in
the week of "The Sopranos' " finale, capturing four of the top five
spots on the broadcast networks, according to Nielsen Media Research
figures released Tuesday.
Facing the Alma Awards on ABC and reruns on the other three major
broadcast networks, last Tuesday's premiere of "America's Got Talent"
drew 13 million viewers, becoming the first NBC program to top the
weekly charts since the Dallas Cowboys-Seattle Seahawks NFL playoff
game the week of Jan. 1-7. It also led among viewers ages 2-11, 12-17
and 25-54.
The premiere of the CBS stop-motion animated series "Creature
Comforts" was 31st for the week with 6.19 million viewers, finishing
second in its Monday 8-8:30 p.m. time slot behind a rerun of the ABC
unscripted series "Wife Swap." It was far ahead of the opening
half-hour of NBC's coverage of Game 4 of hockey's Stanley Cup Finals
between the Anaheim Ducks and Ottawa Senators, which averaged 2.88
million, finishing fourth in the time period.
CBS was the most-watched network in prime time between June 4 and
Sunday, averaging 7.18 million viewers. Fox was second with 6.11
million.
ABC's "World News With Charles Gibson" was the most-watched nightly
network newscast for the 14th time in the last 18 weeks, averaging
7.71 million viewers, 6% more than the same week last year.
