Rack up another dominating night for CBS, which swept the prime-time Nielsens in total viewers and won all but one time slot among advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds.
CBS' Survivor: Gabon took the 7 p.m. gold with 232,505 D-FW viewers before CSI: Crime Scene Investigation swelled to 365,365 viewers and the new Eleventh Hour closed the night with 279,006 viewers.
Survivor and Eleventh Hour also were tops with 18-to-49-year-olds while CSI's 136,130 viewers of those ages came up a bit short of ABC's Grey's Anatomy (162,060).
In the local news derby, WFAA8 swept the 5, 6 and 10 p.m. ratings in both total viewers and among 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
But its early morning woes continued, with Fox4 again leading the 6 a.m. pack in both measurements while WFAA8 ran third in total viewers and slid to fourth behind CBS11 in the 25-to-54 demo.
PROGRAMMING NOTE: Fox4's critically praised half-hour JFK: The Dallas Tapes, originally made in 1998, will get two encores on Friday at 9:30 p.m. and Saturday at 6:30 p.m. You also can watch it on the station's Web site.
