Another weekend, isn't that the best part of the week. CBS comes in first with Ghost Whisperer having 2.8/10. I actually watch this show and I didn't think that I would enjoy it when I first started watching it, but then again, I enjoy watching Jennifer Love Hewitt. ABC had 20/20 coming in second with 2.7/9. Not far behind in third was ABC’s Wife Swap having 2.3/8. And rounding out forth place was CBS’s Close to Home having 2.2/7
For Saturday, FOX comes in first and second with America’s Most Wanted and Cops having 2.2/8 and 2.1/8 respectively. NBC had Law & Order coming in third with 1.9/7.
For Sunday, ABC comes in first and second and third with Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition having 6.9/18 and 4.7/12 and 4.2/12respectively. FOX had The Simpsons , my personal favorite on TV, coming in forth with 3.6/11. ABC’s America’s Funniest Home Videos coming in fifth with 3.1/11.
My Two Cents:
Everybody is going out on the weekends for some kind of event or just trying to get lucky. As a result, the weekend ratings will always be lower than the rest of the week.
For the complete ratings from last night and who won the night (in key demos), stick around after the jump. . .

How do I read these ratings?
A Nielsen rating may look like this:
8pm - NBC - TVgasm The TV Show - 10.0/18
Focus on the 10.0/18. The RATING, 10.0, on the left represents the actual number of households that watched a show. One rating point equals 1,102,000 households. The SHARE, 18, on the right represents the show's proportion of the total households watching television at that time.
For example, TVgasms TV Show has a 10 rating/18 share. That means 11,020,000 households are tuned in to the show and 18% of all the households with a TV turned on are watching that show.
Ratings and Share are customarily broken down for various DEMOs -- a demographic grouping of viewers, like 18-49 adults or 2-12 children or 18-34 women, etc. Advertisers, and therefore networks, covet the 18-49 adult demo, and so tend to concentrate on that number.

It's Nielsen, not Neilson.
