CBS won the most total viewers and still came in last place in the 18-49 demographic. Yes, CBS even lost out in the demo to reruns of Most Outrageous Moments and Last Comic Standing on NBC. Sad. NBA Playoffs really couldn’t save an even slower than usual (due to the holiday weekend) night, and while ABC did win the 18-49 demographic, the game didn’t average even a 2.0 in the 18-49 year old demographic. Though it did at least crack a 2.0 in the last half hour as the Boston Celtics won against the Detroit Pistons and were finally able to win a playoff game on the road. Here’s the half hourly data:
