Dancing With the Stars, CSI and NCIS lead weekly broadcast viewing

Soon it will be over for a while, but for the week ending November 23, even the Dancing With the Stars clip show made the weekly top twenty in terms of most-watched shows.
This list is really not all that meaningful, but…it’s the list everyone seems to be used to — the overall “most-watched” list. But the rankings are fun to look at, especially when you see NCIS at #3 overall, but #24 among 18-49 year olds. Shows like Grey’s Anatomy and House and even Sunday Night Football this week get pushed down this list, but rank near the top of 18-49 year old viewing.
Of course there are fan favorites like The Office, The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother that perform very well among 18-49 year olds, and don’t make this list at all. While 60 Minutes, Cold Case and Without a Trace do very well overall, but are no where to be found among the top 20 shows among 18-49 year olds. Wouldn’t you rather see the top 20 list for 18-49 viewing?
No? I didn’t think so onto this list:
