Here are the weekly TV ratings, by number of viewers.
Last week I mentioned that Lost wasn't in the top 20. Well, this week it returns. Not to the highs it was earlier this year, but hey, I wouldn't mind almost 11 million people watching what I do each week (I'm talking about writing, not going to the bathroom or eating a sandwich). Survivor's finale and regular episode both made the top 20, even though it was the lowest-rated finale in the history of the show.

I'm not at all surprised. NBC usually misses the mark in the Nielsen ratings.

Zucker doesn't believe in ratings anymore. If you can't be in the game during sweeps, try to change the rules.

I was going to add a link to tvbythenumbers. It's a much more comprehensive site than the posts here.
