Decade’s Top 125 Most-Watched TV Shows (2000-2009)

Most-watched TV show last decade? “American Idol.” Second most-watched TV show last decade? “American Idol.”
The Fox show that searches for America’s next singing superstar also occupies eight of the Top 10 spots in the decade’s most-watched list, which is based on Nielsen ratings from 2000 to 2009.

But which season of “American Idol” was most watched? That would be Season 5 won by Taylor Hicks. An average of 31 million viewers tuned in each Tuesday for the performance show (No. 1 on the list), while 30 million returned on Wednesday for the results show (No. 2). Keeping “Idol” from a Top 8 clean sweep was CBS’s reality competition show, “Survivor.”
Season 2 of “Survivor” set in the Australian Outback and won by Tina Wesson is No. 3 on the list with an average of 29.8 million watchers each week. And Season 1 set in Borneo and won by Richard Hatch is No. 6 with 28.3 million watchers.
CBS’s crime drama “CSI” is the only other show to make the decade’s Top 15. It averaged 26.3 million total viewers for Season 5 and 26.2 million for Season 6 — placing it at No. 12 and 13 on the list.
