CSI just barely held off American Idol as the nights most watched series among total viewers, but Idol was ahead among adults 18-49. In the end, CBS was the nights most watched network among households, while Fox took first place among both viewers and adults 18-49.
Elsewhere on the evening, the results for the return of NBC comedies 30 Rock, The Office and Scrubs and E.R. were mixed. The Office improved by 5% among viewers and Scrubs by 36%, while both 30 Rock and E.R. saw their audiences decline (4% for 30 Rock and 15% for E.R.).
The Desperate Housewives repeat helped Eli Stone to a small bounce in viewers and adults 18-49. Don’t forget that there will be a special airing of the series out of an original installment of Desperate Housewives this Sunday.
