Except for sports (which included a postgame show not in 3Sheets' list, "Celebrity Apprentice", an extra "48 Hours" not on 3Sheets' list (she has two crime shows and USA Today won't identify which one was shown), a slight error for a movie and the fact only one "Dateline" was listed in USA Today, the first list is on the money, if you don't quibble over whether .5 gets rounded up or down.

By the way, 3Sheets, USA Today printed a list this week too, should we need it.

I still wonder just what happened with CBS Saturday night.

Forgot one thing. The numbers for "Crimetime" didn't exactly match either of the crime shows on 3Sheets' list, and the extra "48 Hours" didn't either.
