CBS, was first in total viewers and last in the 18-49 demographic with it’s Crimetime lineup of reruns. While the time-tested Fox Saturday night lineup of Cops and America’s Most Wanted was nudged out of first place in viewers by a mere 120,000, FOX bested its nearest competitor in the 18-49 demo (NBC) by almost 78%. Sticking reruns of Eli Stone on at 10pm on Saturday seems more miss than hit. It was completely clobbered, both overall and among 18-49 year olds by reruns of Law & Order: CI and 48 Hours Mystery.
