TV Ratings: NCIS Hits Series High (11/6/07)

Now that's a headline I didn't expect to write, although I know "NCIS" has been a solid hit for CBS. The show surged 2 million viewers last night, getting its highest audience ever - 18.28 million viewers.

Although the show now stands neck and neck with ABC's blockbusters "Grey's Anatomy" and "Desperate Housewives" its 18-49 ratings are however not comparable. "NCSI" scored a 4.1 rating, whereas ABC dramas normally exceed 7.0.

ABC comedies which both debuted to about 9 million viewers are crashing and burning. Both shows posted their worst figures ever, with "Cavemen" getting an embarrassing 4.89 million viewers.

Cavemen (4.89 million)
Carpoolers (5.51 million)
Dancing with the Stars (16.96 million)
Boston Legal (10.97 million)

CBS:
