CBS's 60 Minutes, which once regularly occupied the top spot on the Nielsen ratings list during the summer, returned to it again for the first time since June of last year. The show, which featured a repeat of a story about allegations that Marine officials falsified records concerning the crash-plagued MV-22 Osprey aircraft, drew an 8.6 rating and an 18 share. Other news magazines also fared well, including CBS's 48 Hours and NBC's Tuesday Dateline, which landed in the top ten and CBS's 60 Minutes II (#14), NBC's Sunday Dateline (#21), Friday Dateline (#25) and ABC's 20/20 (tied for #25) all making the top-25 list. As usual during a week that includes a long Independence Day holiday, overall ratings were low; Thursday night's (July 4) shows were particularly hard hit. CBS was the top-rated network among households for the third straight week, averaging a 5.0 rating and an 11 share. NBC was second with a 5.0/10. Fox was third with a 3.6/7 (thanks largely to the summer hit American Idol), followed closely by ABC with a 3.5/7.

The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research: 1. 60 Minutes, CBS, 8.6/18; 2. Everybody Loves Raymond, CBS, 7.9/14; 3. CBS Sunday Movie: A Time to Kill, CBS, 7.7/13; 4. 48 Hours (Monday), CBS, 7.4/13; 4. Dateline NBC (Tuesday), NBC, 7.4/13; 6. Becker, CBS, 7.3/12; 7. Law & Order, NBC, 6.6/13; 7. Law and Order: Criminal Intent, NBC, 6.6/11; 9. Crime and Punishment, NBC, 6.3/11; 10. CBS Friday Movie: Murder, She Wrote: South by Southwest, CBS, 6.2/13.

CBS's 60 Minutes was by far the highest-rated show on television Sunday night, pulling an 8.9 rating and a 17 share and led CBS to an easy victory for the night as it averaged a 6.8/11. NBC's Law & Order: Criminal Intent (6.8/11) and Crime & Punishment won their time periods but were no match for the CBS news magazine. NBC was in second place with a 5.2/9. Fox was third with a 4.3/7, while ABC brought up the rear with a 3.8/6.
