Prime time battles begin

摘要

At the end of premiere week, CBS and NBC were battling for No. 1 status, while ABC saw glimmers of hope. Of the younger-skewing broadcast nets―Fox, The WB and UPN―WB has the biggest reason to smile, scoring ratings victories on both Monday and Tuesday nights. Even with Monday Night Football on ABC, CBS is the network to beat on Monday night. Last week, with a lineup of King of Queens; Yes, Dear; two episodes of the Emmy-showered Everybody Loves Raymond; and the series premiere of much bal-lyhooed CSI: Miami at 10 p.m., CBS took first in households in every half-hour, according to Nielsen national ratings.
