Top-100 TV Shows (through 10/28/07)

It's Wednesday and that means it's time to check how your show is standing on the latest top-100 chart of shows airing on broadcast television. Although we still have the same winner, the gap between #1 and #2 is getting smaller and smaller. Can "Dancing with the Stars" become the new #1 show in America?

Last week the gap between CSI and "Dancing with the Stars" was 2.35 million viewers. This week the gap is down to only 800,000 viewers. Of course, ABC's dancing contest will go off air during the winter, but it would be great to see something else on top other than 7-year old "CSI" at least for a week before the end of November sweeps.

Although "Private Practice" remains in the top-20 (down a notch to #19), this fall's other big freshman "hit" "The Bionic Woman" continues to slide, down 3 places to #28. The show's current season average is much higher than last 2 weeks' ratings, so expect that decline to continue.

Finally, about 44 million people on average watch the 5 broadcast networks combined, that's about 9 million viewers each. Which is perhaps why shows that get about 8-10 million people may now be considered a modest hit (unless they completely butcher their lead-in audience, of course).
