American Idol on FOXFox's American Idol continued to hold the top 2 spots for average viewers for the season to date (STD) 2007-8 broadcast prime-time season through the week ending June 29, followed by 4 different airings of Dancing with the Stars (two nights from Fall, two nights from Spring).

Rounding out the top 10 were the Tuesday airing of House, Desperate Housewives, NBC Sunday Night Football and CSI.

    righty, Yes they do, but only reruns that appear in the show's standard day/time slot. Nonstandard day/time slot airings are typically classed as “specials” and do not get calculated into the STD numbers.
