season ratings
Here are the top 20 shows of the season
We continue with our roundup of the season-ending ratings (here is the season winner and the May sweeps winner) with a list of the top 20 shows for the season. The first two shows aren't going to be a surprise to anyone (though the number of times one show shows up on the list might be surprising to some). How many shows on this list do you watch? I watch one show all the time and I watch another show a little bit. The other 18 1/2 shows I don't watch at all, which is odd because I watch a ton of television every week.
Only one sitcom made the top 20, and there was only one show from NBC. Do you know what those two shows are? Answer after the jump.
(Oh, I know The CW logo is in the pic above, but you won't find any of their shows on the list.)
Here are the final 2006-07 ratings

Now that the May sweeps period is over, it's time to view the scorecard to see where your favorite TV show (or least favorite TV show, depending on what you're interested in seeing here) did in the overall ratings.
No surprise: American Idol has the first two spots, with the results show coming in number 1 and the performance show coming in number 2. Dancing With The Stars Season 3 has the third spot, while the same show's season 4 gets the number 5 slot. The rest of the top 10 are CSI (4), Grey's Anatomy (6), House (7), Dancing With The Stars 3 results (8), Dancing with the Stars 4 results (9), and Desperate Housewives at 10.
NBC hits an all-time low
In ratings, that is.
We told you recently about the Peacock Network getting its lowest Thursday ratings since 1987 - an average of 6.8 million viewers for the week two weeks ago - but they've already topped that. Or should be say bottomed that, averaging only 6.2 million viewers during last week's rating period.
NBC says that viewers are down on all the networks by about 10%, but I think that's just spin. I mean, there aren't many NBC shows in the top 20 and only a couple of shows that people even talk about. NBC still leads in the evening news and late night races, but that's probably small consolation.
It's really too bad, considering NBC has two of the best shows (Heroes and The Office) on the the four nets, but then again they've dumped a bunch of the best too.
