Top-Rated Network Programs from Nielsen

Every so often, we check the Nielsen Media Research data on the top-rated U.S. broadcast-network programs just to keep an eye on what's hot and what's not. It's also a good way to stay on-top of popular culture.

It's still amazing that 35+ years after the program started, 60 Minutes is still going strong. That's just flabbergasting.

Here's the data for the week ending November 9th:

1. 60 Minutes, CBS, 18.5 million viewers
2. CSI, CBS, 18.2
3. Dancing with the Stars, ABC, 17.1
4. Sunday Night Football, NBC, 17.6
5. Desperate Housewives, ABC, 15.9
6. Dancing with the Stars -- Results Special, ABC, 15.8
7. Grey's Anatomy, ABC, 15.7
