JustTV Talk: May 11, 2005
For a backgrounder, see the April 15th edition of TV Talk. For the week ending May 8, 2005, it was almost all CTV, once again, although Global did get alot of entries into the top 30. "The Amazing Race" once again ranked as the top rated series, while "CSI' and "Survivor" virtually tied for second. Elsewhere, "Grey's Anatomy" continues to disappoint north of the border, holding about 65% of it's lead-in. The series finale of "Third Watch" also went out with a bang, ranking 12th here, but just 44th in the states.
