Criminal Minds once again blew away the competition and helped CBS to an easy win in the Nielsen ratings. "Normal" written by Andrew Wilder and starring Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Paget Brewster, Shemar Moore, A.J. Cook, Matthew Gray Gubler, Kirsten Vangsness and guest starring Meta Golding owned the night!!!
"Criminal Minds" was the night's most-watched show, pulling in 15 million to see "Murphy Brown" alumna Faith Ford in an unusual role. At 9, ABC's "Private Practice" was a distant second with 6.7 million viewers. NBC's "Life" was third with 5.2 million.
