TwitterTV Ratings: CBS' 'Criminal Minds' overshadows NBC's 'The Biggest Loser'
Fast National ratings for Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2009
NBC's "The Biggest Loser: Where Are They Now?" was early Wednesday's biggest winner, though it was quickly steamrolled by the CBS procedural juggernaut in the later hours. "Criminal Minds" took home the night's demo trophy, and "CSI: NY" ended the evening with a bang for the Eye.
Those shows pulled out a significant CBS win with 11 million viewers and a 6.7 rating/12 share in households. NBC came in a distant second with 6.8 million and a 4.1/7, followed by FOX (5.4 million, 3.3/6), ABC (5.2 million, 3.2/6) and The CW (1.3 million, 0.8/1).
CBS also took the night's demo win, but barely, with a 2.6 over NBC's 2.4. FOX rounded third with a 2.0, ABC lagged with a 1.7 and The CW trailed the pack at 0.4.

WOW ABC continues to flop, maybe they should just pack it up and give in for the rest of the season.
for the first time ever, MEOW is right. ABC is going down in flames big time, its amazing they are still in biz with such bad shows like Castle, V , Flashforward and their sorry attempt for a Wednesday night line up. Im sure we will see a post from a fake MEOW calling the first MEOW a fake, but dont listen to that fake MEOW...
I'm the real MEOW! I'm realer than the Real Roxanne! I have an irrational hatred of a TV network even though people tell me there are good and bad shows on each of them! Get me my medication stat!
I AM THE REAL MEOW!! EVERYBODY SHOULD WATCH PBS
For the time slots with 2 shows in the same hour, you guys forgot to include the 1st show's ratings.
i need someone to give my ***** a bath
CW >> all!
The episode of "Criminal Minds" shown last night was the best ever. It was heartbreaking, shocking, sad and somber. Great way to end the first part of the season.
Where is the real meow? The fake meow made sense. ABC must be ashamed that a new episode of modern family finished fourth in the A 18-49 demo in its timeslot. Modern family will surely improve its ratings during the February and May sweep periods. However the ABC freshman show most likely to make it into syndication (100 episodes) had its reputation tarnished. I will give ABC some free advice. For the Wednesday immediately before Thanksgiving 2010, show "repeat" episodes of your Wednesday shows. This way you can save face with your low ratings. I know that will make advertisers unhappy but at least the advertisers are prepared for low ratings and will pay appropriate rates for your commercials.
Wow, did ABC even have anything on last night?
