CRIMINAL MINDS OVERNIGHT RATINGS FOR "SOUL MATES"


Criminal Minds overnight Nielsen ratings info for "Soul Mates" written by Erica Messer and Deb Fisher.

“American Idol” owned the night but Criminal Minds gave them a run for the money and once again pulled in terrific ratings!

"CBS was runner-up for the night, thanks largely to “Criminal Minds” at 9 (14.1 million) and “CSI: NY” at 10 (12.8 million). CBS’s back-to-back comedies, “The New Adventures of Old Christine” (7.3 million) and “Gary Unmarried” (7.1 million), earned fewer viewers but still outpaced their competitors to win the 8 p.m. hour. NBC ranked third for the night with “Knight Rider” at 8 (5.3 million), “Law & Order” at 10 (8.2 million) and a repeat of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” at 9 (4.5 million). ABC finished fourth with three hours of “Lost” (4.5 million), a rerun of last season’s three-part finale."
