The Vancouver Olympics opening ceremony was the week’s most-watched program (on a Friday night, no less!) but even that couldn’t topple American Idol from the top spot with Adults 18-49.
Of note, even with three days of Olympics coverage and a head-to-head battle on Sunday night, CBS’s Undercover Boss was a top 10 program with adults 18-49 and 11th in overall viewing.
Below are the top 25 tables for both adults 18-49 and overall viewing.
Weekly cable show ratings and overnight broadcast show ratings are also available.
