The Price Is Right Million Dollar Spectacular and CBS’s returning dramas Ghost Whisperer and Numb3rs helped push the network to first place last night, with minimal loss among viewership from their last newly aired episodes.  However, the story among adults 18-49 was a bit different.  Both shows posted soft numbers in the key demo, with Ghost Whisperer off by 15% and Numb3rs by 12%.

Elsewhere on the evening, NBC and continues to get poor numbers from its fading gameshow Amne$ia, while Fox finally got some good news out of new drama Canterbury’s Law.  The series improved by a much needed 1.33 million/28% among viewers and 27% among adults 18-49 as it climbed over the 6 million mark.  There’s still cause for concern among adults 18-49 (it posted a low 1.4 rating), but the bump in viewership is certainly good news.

Over on ABC, the network tried to give returning gameshow Duel a boost by positioning a repeat of America’s Funniest Home Videos in front of it, but the move failed.  The gameshow failed to hit 4 million viewers and was off by a devastatingly fatal 2.79 million/42% among viewers and 43% among adults 18-49.

The poor performances by ABC (and FOX among adults 18-49) allowed The CW’s Smackdown to post some of its better numbers in a while (over 4.5 million viewers) as the network was able to tie for fourth place on the evening among adults 18-49.

The full breakdown of last night’s ratings follows after the jump.
