THE RATINGS
THE GOLDEN BOWL
Touchdown! Friday night's Fiesta Bowl (1st) scored major ratings for ABC. Over 29 million pigskin fans watched Ohio State beat Miami in a fight for the NCAA title. It was the most-watched college football National Championship game ever, giving ABC its best Friday in 10 years. Meanwhile, amid repeats, folks sampled freshman fare: NBC's Boomtown (28th) squeaked by a repeat of The Practice (31st), and repeats of Without a Trace (11th) trounced second-run episodes of ER (30th) two weeks in a row. In reality news, 5.2 million viewers attended The WB's High School Reunion (72nd), and the show's ratings built in its second half hour, meaning fans will likely rejoin the party in week 2.
