Maury & Christian, I have posted similar charts (with all our available data) for the broadcast seasons back to 1998.

To answer your questions:

1. For average viewers, CBS won the years 2002-2007, NBC won 2001-2, CBS 2000-2001, ABC 1999-2000, CBS 1998-1999.

2. We only have a breakdown of the 3 age demos for the past 3 years (including this season). No network has won all four categories in that time except Fox this season. In the years for which we have just average viewers and adults 18-49, NBC won both in 2001-2 and ABC won both in 1999-2000.

I would never have imagined Fox ever taking the season crown in viewer numbers, let alone all key mesures!
