CBS continues to do just fine with crime series repeats -- at least in the total homes ratings -- while rivals load up on reality hours.
The Eye network's Criminal Minds (158,314 homes) and CSI: NY (163,185) controlled the 8 to 10 p.m. slot Wednesday, with the first hour of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance winning at 7 p.m. with 110,211 homes.
Among advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds, Dance topped the 7 to 9 p.m. competition in that key demo before ABC's PrimeTime: Crime took over at 9 p.m. The latter hour's finale of NBC's Celebrity Circus tumbled into fourth place in both ratings measurements.
In the four-ring local news competitions, WFAA8 had win wins at 10 p.m. in total homes and among 25-to-54-year-olds, the favored audience for news programming.
Fox4 took the golds at 6 a.m. and also tied WFAA8 for the total homes lead at 5 p.m.
WFAA8 won at 5 p.m. in the 25-to-54 demo and swept the 6 p.m. Nielsens for the 18th straight weekday.
