I enjoyed the Olympics, but am kind of glad they are over from the perspective of top 25 lists like the ones below.
As with the last two weeks, even with the Olympics, NBC still couldn’t manage to take the top spot with adults 18-49 where American Idol still was perched at the top. In overall viewing the Friday night primetime coverage was tops for the week, though that was dwarfed by the USA vs. Canada gold medal men’s hockey game on Sunday, but that wasn’t in primetime.
Below are the top 25 tables for both adults 18-49 and overall viewing in primetime for the week ending February 28..
Weekly cable show ratings and overnight broadcast show ratings are also available.

Is there an ABC Crissis. Beacouse I saw a writing like this on ABC’s website: in fact, ABC7 delivers some of the most popular programming carried on Cablevision today, shows like LOST, Grey’s Anatomy, Jeopardy, Dancing with the Stars, Wheel of Fortune, Desperate Housewives, General Hospital, Regis and Kelly, Modern Family, The Academy Awards, The Oprah Winfrey Show and Eyewitness News.

Strange to See an American Idol Episode coming in at #10 in total viewers. Even stranger to see DH at #17(this show has really gone downhill).
24 coming in at #25 is pretty Dismal. i think it will be renewed for next season but it wouldnt surprise me to see it cancelled.
Cold Case again comes in at #22, people really do take this show for granted on this site. it is one of CBS’s most consistent ratings performers in total viewers and I am just not ready to write it off just yet.

Couple of those are syndicated. I wouldn’t say ABC is in crisis mode at this point. They’re in the midst of what will be their best week of the year so far.

Tom virtually everything on CBS is consistent in total viewers. It’s not really an arguing point for this network. At the end of the day its demo numbers are really unacceptable for that slot and pretty much anything else would perform better.
