Taylor Swift isn’t just a big concert draw, the country music sensation is a ratings hit as well. Swift’s stint on CSI helped give the CBS program a nice boost on Thursday night. Unfortunately, that other musical hit (a.k.a. American Idol) was also around to do its thing.
8pm
- American Idol (21.2 million, 7.5/20 in 18-49) picked up 500,000.
- Survivor: Tocantins (12 million, 3.8/10) slipped by 300,000.
- Ugly Betty (6.4 million, 1.7/5) gave up 400,000.
- My Name is Earl (2.2/6) returned to 5.6 million; Kath & Kim (4.2 million, 1.8/5) improved by 800,000.
- Smallville* (2.2 million, 0.8/2) was on par with last week.

Sunday Ratings: Steelers Win 2nd Biggest Super Bowl Ever
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Specials, Sports, NBC, The Office, Ratings,
One of the greatest matches in Super Bowl history attracted one of the largest audiences ever:
- Yesterday’s tight battle between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals nabbed 95.4 million viewers. Only last year’s contest between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants scored more. (That game rallied 97.5 million.)
- Super Bowl XLIII proved the nation still loves its football. For four years now, viewership has surpassed 90 million.
- Unfortunately, a special episode of The Office didn’t do as well as the game. Despite earning 22 million sets of eyes, the program roped in the smallest post-game audience since 2005.

MONDAY 2/2)
- Chuck (NBC, 8pm): “In a 3-D edition, global rock star Tyler Martin (Dominic Monaghan) is marked for murder, so the agents kidnap the musician to discover who’s behind the deadly plot.” Unfortunately, they don’t understand his “My-plane-crashed-on-an-island-and-there-were-these-Others” story either.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): “The newly powerless Hiro resolves to help Ando become a true superhero.” Sorry, Suresh. You’re stuck with creating powers for yourself.
- Medium (NBC, 10pm): Season premiere. “Daughter Bridgette lands in trouble at school for drawing nude pictures of her art teacher.” She earned an “A” for technique, but an “F” for accuracy.
- For the Love of Ray J (VH1, 10:30pm): Series premiere. “The actor, singer-songwriter and brother of Brandy moves 14 beautiful women into his mansion and starts his search for love.” If Kim Kardashian can get a reality show, I guess her sex tape partner should get one too.
