Silent Hunter: There was a recent study (it got a Radio Times front cover for David Caruso) claiming this is the most-popular show on the planet. Any idea where I can find the raw figures?

Janitor: There is no source for this assertion. This wikipedia entry link, based on Neilsen data might be a lead. The claim sounds like hyperbole.

Ununnilium: Hah hah no. Though, it says CSI Not Miami Or New York was highest-rated in the US for a couple years.

Silent Hunter: Here is the news story where I found it. I tried Informa's website, but couldn't find the study on there.
