Criminal Minds did very well. That has to be their best numbers in series history? Oh well the Superbowl will do that for ya.

Are those numbers under 18-49 Rick for HH? I saw over at zap2it.com earlier and those were the numbers listed for households?

Looks like it did even better than it did last year, I think last year it had 90 million, surprised that Criminal minds did not get a bigger boost than it did, last year Gray's Anatomy got a huge boost from the Super Bowl.

Yep, this was the second highest rated Superbowl ever and the third largest audience in television History behind the M*A*S*H finale and Superbowl XXX

I'm surprised CM didn't do better either, but it did get 13 million boost from last week. And 10 million more than the season average plus the show more than doubled it's 18-49 demos.

Last years Grey's Anatomy scored 38 million viewers. It was averaging 18.0 million viewers for the 2005 season. It gained 20 million more viewers for the post Superbowl episode and held onto 6 of the 20 million for the rest of the season.

So if Criminal Minds can hold onto at least 3 of the 10 million it will be competing with CSI & Grey's Anatomy as TV's #1 scripted drama.

I heard on the news that the ratings for this year's Super Bowl were similar to that of last year. Over 93 million viewers, wow! I, however, was not one of them. I hate football. But I did catch the half-time show with Prince.

It looks as though last night’s highly anticipated Super Bowl between the Chicago Bears and the victorious Indianapolis Colts on CBS may match the strong numbers from last year’s game on ABC.

The Super Bowl averaged a 42 household rating and 63 share, according to Nielsen data collected from the top 55 markets and released by CBS this afternoon. That’s down half a percent from last year’s 42.2/63.

In fast national ratings from 7 to 10 p.m., the game averaged a 32.4 adults 18-49 rating, up slightly from last year’s 31.8 on ABC in the same time period.

The game ran from 6:25 p.m. to around 10 p.m., and it peaked with a 44.0/63 at 9 p.m. It dipped just 0.1 from 9:30 to 10 p.m., as the Colts ran out their victory.

The game started with a 38.2/61 at 6:30, then built to a 43.2 by 8:30 p.m., obliterating the competition.

CBS also said that “Criminal Minds,” the drama it aired in the hour after the game, averaged a 15.3/26, its best-ever rating in the 55 metered markets.

Final numbers, including total viewers, are expected to be available late today or early tomorrow. Last year’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks was seen by 90.7 million total viewers, the best tally in 10 years and one of just five games ever to hit 90 million or above.

Of course, CBS finished first for the night among 18-49s, averaging a 28.0 rating and a 57 share in primetime, according to fast nationals. ABC was second at 1.8/4, Univision third at 1.4/3, Fox fourth at 1.1/2, NBC fifth at 1.0/2 and CW sixth at 0.5/1.

At 7 p.m. CBS led with a 32.7 rating for the Super Bowl. ABC was second with a 1.3 for a repeat of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” Univision third with a 1.2 for “Hora Pico” and Fox fourth with a 0.9 for a repeat of “The Simpsons” and the first 30 minutes of the movie “X2: X-Men United.” NBC was fifth with a 0.5 for a repeat of “Grease: You’re the One That I Want” and CW sixth with a 0.3 for a repeat of “Beauty and the Geek.”

At 8 p.m. CBS fell a little, leading with a 32.5 for the Super Bowl. ABC was second with a 1.6 for a repeat of “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” Univision third with a 1.3 for the first hour of “Bailando por la Boda de Mis Suenos” and Fox fourth with a 1.2 for “X-Men.” NBC was fifth with a 0.9 for another repeat of “Grease” and CW sixth with a 0.5 for another “Beauty and the Geek” repeat.

CBS declined once more at 9 p.m. with a 31.9 for the Super Bowl. ABC was second with a 1.7 for the first hour of the movie “Old School” with Univision third with a 1.5 for the second hour of “Bailando,” Fox fourth with a 1.3 for the end of “X-Men,” NBC fifth with a 1.1 for another “Grease” rerun and CW sixth with a 0.7 for yet another repeat of “Beauty and the Geek.”

At 10 p.m. CBS was on top with a 14.7 for the postgame show and “Criminal Minds,” with ABC second with a 2.4 for “Old School” and Univision and NBC tied for third at 1.5, Univision for the last hour of “Bailando” and NBC for another “Grease” repeat.

Among households, CBS led with a 34.6 average rating and a 52 share. ABC was second at 3.0/5, NBC third at 2.3/4, Fox fourth at 1.9/3, Univision fifth at 1.6/2 and CW sixth at 0.8/1.

I didn't watch the Superbowl either. I was working. But they served Superbowl food at dinner, so that was nice!
