NEW YORK (AP) – CBS’ procedural dramas had little real competition last week in helping the network ring up another weekly victory in the television ratings. CBS hasn’t lost all season.

Nine of Nielsen Media Research’s 10 most-watched programs were on CBS, with Fox’s “House” the only exception. The six most popular programs, topped by a “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” rerun, were all crime-oriented dramas.

The CBS Sunday movie sobber, “The Christmas Blessing” (13.8 million viewers) did much better than ABC’s remake of “Once Upon a Mattress” (8.4 million), which was produced by and starred the usually bankable Carol Burnett.

The two-hour finale of “The Apprentice 4” on NBC last Thursday was seen by 12.8 million viewers, a disappointment given the show’s one-time status as a hit.

For the week, CBS averaged 12.2 million viewers (7.9 rating, 13 share) and also won handily among the 18-to-49-year-old viewers advertisers seek. ABC had 8.7 million viewers (5.7, 9), NBC 8.3 million (5.6, 9), Fox 6.7 million (4.7, 7), UPN 3.5 million (2.3, 4), the WB 3.4 million (2.2, 4) and Pax TV 480,000 (0.3, 1).

NBC’s “Nightly News” won the evening news ratings race, averaging 10.5 million viewers (7.2, 13). ABC’s “World News Tonight” had 9.4 million viewers (6.4, 12) and the “CBS Evening News” had 8.3 million (4.8, 10).

A ratings point represents 1,102,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation’s estimated 110.2 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.

For the week of Dec. 12-18, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” CBS, 17.7 million; “NCIS,” CBS, 17.1 million; “CSI: NY,” CBS, 16.5 million; “Without a Trace,” CBS, 15.3 million; “Criminal Minds,” CBS, 15.2 million; “Cold Case,” CBS, 15.2 million; “House,” Fox, 14.6 million; “Two and a Half Men,” CBS, 14.3 million; “CBS Sunday Movie: The Christmas Blessing,” CBS, 13.8 million; “CSI: Miami,” CBS, 13.8 million.
