0000002360_20060919154817Once again, it was all about CBS last night in the ratings. The King of Queens won the 8 PM hour with its ninth season premiere. I just naturally assumed America’s tolerance for Leah Remini would top off at around season four. At 9 PM, Criminal Minds (which will be following the Super Bowl this year) continued its hot streak, easily beating out all the other networks, and at ten, CBS completed the trifecta with a healthy dose of CSI: NY.

All the ratings — including the top twenty network and cable shows from last week — 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.

    B-Side,
    How come you don’t like Leah Remini? She’s a cool chick I think.
