POSTED MARCH 21, 2006
Canada loves
their C.S.I. and this week, it's the spin-off
C.S.I. Miami's turn to take the top spot.
Holding the second and third spots is American Idol, whose
ratings have dropped slightly now that the top 12 is being whittled
down.
In other chart news, a scheduling experiment on Thursday night had
mixed results for CTV. With C.S.I. in
a re-run, the network switched the show with its lead-in, The
O.C. Unfortunately, those kids at the O.C. promptly dropped
over a quarter of C.S.I.'s audience. The upside is that C.S.I. confidently
owns any time slot it occupies, but even more
encouraging is that ER maintained its regular
audience levels, improving 50% from The O.C.'s so-so numbers.
Not bad for a show in its 12th season.
Here are top 20 programs in Canada for the week of March 13-19,
