Nielsen Media Research Top 10- Broadcast Primetime- Week of Jan. 23 - Jan. 29, 2006

Nothing real exciting in TV last week. What's amazing to me is that NBC, the only network channel I really watch, has only had a total of 5 shows show up in the top 10 over the last 2 months. Maybe NBC programs exclusively for me? Whatcha' think?
