TV Top Ten - Cable TV In Plain Sight

Television remained sleepy and predictable last week with American Idol drawing 24 million pairs of glazed eyes both nights. Dancing With The Stars continues to hold fast right behind. ABC announced this week plans to return Who Wants To Be A Millionaire to prime time. Apparently they've completely given up on making good television, hoping to stay in the top ranks with old standbys.

WWE Raw has stuck to the top the last few weeks. USA's In Plain Sight, which has fallen in close behind Raw, is the only other non-rerun primetime show to make the chart. It's worth noting simply because it's nice to see someone besides Hannah Montana and Spongebob getting a little attention.
