Another manic monday, as the song goes. CBS comes in first with CSI:Miami having 5.4/15. I didn't watch it yet, but I recorded it. ABC had Dancing with the Stars coming in second with 5.4/14. Not far behind in third was NBC’s Heroes having 5.2/13. And rounding out forth place was ABC’s Dancing with the Stars 8 o’clock hour having 4.9/14
My Two Cents:
I would like to extend my apologies for my misspelling the word "Nielsen." I am the worse speller on the planet. If the spell checker doesn't catch, then I surely will not. Isn't that weird, that I can read words correctly but I just can't spell them correctly.
For the complete ratings from last night and who won the night (in key demos), stick around after the jump. . .

Who Won The Night
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.

Thanks kronus for getting the spelling right (I actually noticed you got it right the last time you posted ratings as well).
If you never made mistakes, you'd never learn anything! Just glad you figured it out eventually... typos drive me crazy!
And thanks again for posting the ratings for every day... still love reading them.

Yay! You did it! You spelled "Nielsen" correctly! Since you apologized for that, I'll even overlook that you meant to say you are the "worst" speller on the planet. You kind of proved your point again right there, didn't you?
