Nielsen Rating's Top 20 TV Shows for December 5 - December 11

The Nielsen Rating's Top 20 TV Shows for December 5 - December 11. The first number is the ranking, the second number is the season average, then the show name and network. The last number represents the number of viewers in millions. An asterisk * indicates a tie.

Two and a Half Men has popped way back up in the ratings, to the #2 spot. X Factor continues to be a dud, with its Wednesday performance show coming in at #20, not quite the HUGE hit Simon Cowell hoped for, instead X Factor is being widely viewed as an overly produced Train Wreck, with a really bad host. The Amazing Race came in at #14, one place ahead of Survivor: South Pacific. Even though both ran re-runs, NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles ranked #8 and #12.
