Last Rose Bowl between USC and Texas was the most-watched college football game since at least 1991, with an average of 35.6 million viewers, according to figures released Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. The much-anticipated matchup for college national championship cruised past the No. 2 program for the week that ended Sunday, Crime Scene (27.2 million).

Football boosted ABC across the board. The network also drew strong results from NFL wildcard game between Jacksonville and New England (22.6 million) and Orange Bowl (18.6 million). Including sports, (23.7 million) and the return of last sleeper hit With the (17.5 million), ABC had seven of the 10 most-watched programs. Overall, ABC averaged a robust 19.1 million viewers for the week, followed by CBS (13.1 million), NBC (9.2 million) and Fox (6.1 million). It was first weekly loss this season in the total-viewer category.

numbers were high enough to pull ahead of CBS in their neck-and-neck race to be No. 1 this season among adults aged 18 to 49, the demographic most important to advertisers. NBC and Fox remain locked in a battle to avoid fourth place. statistical advantage in that category, however, is only one-tenth of a rating point an infinitesimal amount that promises executives at both networks some sleepless nights in the days ahead. On basic cable, the most- watched program was movie Josh Go on Friday (5.4 million viewers).

Collins ABC takes football and runs with it Martha Stewart got her small-screen time in the sun after she served her time. Now another celebrity inmate, Kim, the self-described Queen of hip-hop, will have her own reality show on BET: Kim: Countdown to which she managed to film 14 days before beginning her 366-day prison sentence for perjury and conspiracy in September. The six-episode series premieres March 9 and chronicles the last two weeks of freedom shooting a music video, attending fashion shows and star-studded parties and preparing for a prison term in connection with a 2001 shooting outside a New York City radio station. Executive producer Tracey E. Edmonds told a gathering of television critics at the Ritz- Carlton Huntington Hotel Spa in Pasadena on Tuesday that she had been pursuing Kim for a reality show for a long time.

Edmonds said that although the hip-hop star had been shy about being the focus of such a series, she was able to persuade Kim to tell her story after the artist was convicted for lying to a federal grand jury to protect friends who were involved in the shootout. The show, Edmonds added, will reveal why Kim (real name Kimberly Jones) made false statements and why she was prepared to pay the price for her actions. Elena Fernandez Life on the way to.
