Monday night's ratings. FOX comes in first with Hell's Kitchen having 4.3/12. Not far behind in second was NBCs Dateline NBC having 2.7/8. Coming in third was CBSs CSI:Miami having 2.4/7. And coming in forth was NBC's Victoria Beckham: Coming to America (Special) having 2.3/7. You could consider CBS's Two and a Half Men as coming in third with 2.5/7, but it was a repeat.
Catch around after the jump, no cosmic questions today just things that look like a chart, but NOT as Borat would say.

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.
