The Week of Sept. 25 – Oct. 1
ABC’s 'Grey’s Anatomy' rises a notch to take No. 1, CBS is week’s network winner

(October 3, 2006) ABC inverted its two winning shows of the previous week to have “Grey’s Anatomy” claim No. 1 and “Dancing With The Stars” in second place. On the top 25 most popular shows in black households, newcomer “Ugly Betty” had a good showing, finishing in fourth position. NBC’s Sunday Night Football had to settle for fifth place for matchup of the Chicago Bears vs. the Seattle Seahawks.

The CW network premiered its Sunday night black block, with three of the five shows making the chart. “America’s Next Top Model” led the pack in twelfth place. The winning network title goes to CBS, which again posted eight programs on the chart. ABC and NBC each had six, and Fox had two.

The total number of households watching the Top 25 during the last week of September was 33.2 million, just slightly above the 32.7 million of the previous week.
