Mr. Nielson has declared the end of the November sweeps. (Oct. 30-Nov. 26) These are the network totals for the month:
CBS: 11.8 mil
ABC: 10.5 mil
NBC: 7.8 mil
Fox: 7.0 mil
As you can see, CBS came out on top. That's because everybody watches "CSI" and it's offspring. Why?

Here are the ratings for the week of Nov.17th-23rd:

1. Dancing With the Stars (19.6 mil) OMG! DWTS KO'D CSI.
2. CSI (18.4 mil) The 'minature' murderer sucked them in again.
3. NCIS (18 mil) I forgot to watch this week.
4. Dancing with the Stars (17.6 mil) What will ABC do without it's cash cow?
5. Criminal Minds (16.3 mil) Jason Alexander looked like an idiot.
6. Grey's Anatomy (15.9 mil) Lesbian doctors are ratings gold.
7. The Mentalist (15.8 mil) He knew he'd make 'top ten' again.
8. CSI: Miami (15.5 mil) Why?
9. Two and a Half Men (15.2 mil) Keep 'em coming Charlie.
10. Sunday Night Football (15.2 mil) Jock euphoria.
11. 60 Minutes (14.9 mil) Was Barack on again?
12. CSI: NY (14.1 mil) Dbl. Why?
13. House (13.3 mil) The Cuddy kiss lured them in.
14. Survivor: Gabon (12.5 mil) The Cookie Wars.
15. American Music Awards (12.2 mil) Where else can you watch a drunk ex-rocker try and talk.
16. Cold Case (12.1 mil) Who knew, old, dead people would be entertaining.
17. 24: Redemption (12.1 mil) I'm shocked this didn't do better.
18. Without a Trace (11.9 mil) Lost & Found Department.
19. Dancing with the Stars Recap (11.6 mil) This beat "Pushing Daisies". No wonder it's cancelled.
20. The Mentalist (repeat) (11.5 mil) A repeat is on the list! TV really must suck.

Here are our hopefuls for next week:

Rosie's going LIVE tonight for TV's sake. She is bringing variety to NBC at 8pm. I want to make fun of this whole thing, but I'm kinda hoping it doesn't suck. We need something new to watch & with live TV, anything can happen. She's got Alec Baldwin & Jane Krakowski to help with the skits. Liza Minnelli, Ne-Yo, & Alana Morissette can sing with her & she's got give-aways for the audience. I just hope it's not hokey & caters to the kiddies, but she's got Kathy Griffin as a guest, so there is a chance for adult humor. Kathy, live, could be a time bomb! We can always hope.

Just one thing before we get to the hopefuls. I almost pissed myself last night during "DWTS". For a minute there, I actually thought that Warren Sapp was going to win. Can you imagine the headlines today! Brooke & Derek would have literally imploded. The fallout from a win like that could have been catastrophic. Damn it, why didn't he win. I voted! Television history for sure. An "E! THS" in the making. Derek would have had a hissy-fit. He'd be all over the airwaves crying "foul". Everyone thought Warren was a diva. He's your DIVA. Oh well, it didn't happen that way, but I loved the whole finale. Erica even had some life in her. Must have had a tune-up.

"Pushing Daisies" at 8pm (new) Not many of these left.
"Private Practice" at 9pm. (new)
