CBS Cruises, but SpongeBob Sops Up Viewers

"Close to Home." CBS moved this new Bruckheimer drama to Friday, after "Ghost Whisperer," and scored nearly 50 percent more viewers in the time slot than it had this season to date, while "Close" snared about 2 million more viewers than in its old Tuesday slot, battling NBC's "Law & Order: SVU."

LOSERS

"Saturday Night Live in the '80s: Lost and Found." In February, we learned that more than 12 million are interested in the first five years of "SNL"; this month, we learned that only 7.9 million care about "SNL" in the 1980s. Which means I'm not alone and millions like me think this show hasn't been so interesting since the '70s.

"7th Heaven." The week that "7th Heaven" logs its season high is the perfect time to announce its cancellation. Though this show is down about 20 percent compared with last year, averaging a little more than 5 million viewers each week, it's still one of WB's stronger shows. But it's an older series and older means "more expensive" because, naturally, people expect raises. Sounds like cost-cutting time at WB.

"Arrested Development." Virtually canceled.

Martha Stewart . Good thing Martha's version of "The Apprentice" is doing such a lousy number -- 6.4 million viewers on Wednesday -- because no way was NBC going to bring back this show for a second edition, according to the network and exec producer Mark Burnett.

"Night Stalker." For the second time in 30 years, ABC has canceled "Night Stalker." In the mid-'70s, it was gone in one season; this time it's gone after six episodes -- last week's falling to just under 4 million viewers.

The week's 10 most watched programs, in order, were: CBS's "CSI"; ABC's "Desperate Housewives" and "Monday Night Football"; CBS's "Without a Trace"; ABC's "Lost" and "Grey's Anatomy"; and CBS's "CSI: NY," "Survivor: Guatemala," "CSI: Miami" and "NCIS."
