CBS won households, total viewers and adults 25-through-54 Thursday night (the first night of the rerun season) with a two-hour block of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation repeats and The Agency.

NBC won the demo races -- adults 18-through-49 and 18-through-34 -- with a rerun slate including Friends, Frasier, Will& Grace and Just Shoot Me.

FOX aired the theatrical Blade, and managed to finish third (ahead of ABC) with adults 18-through-34, 18-through-49 and 25-through-54 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.

ABC was fourth across the key categories from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. with its Whose Line is it Anyway and WhoWants to be a Millionaire lineup.
