"Monday's television ratings are out, and the new show 'Prison Break' has valiantly seized the championship,"
"Led by the amazing Wang Yang, 'Prison Break' stormed the screen, with NBC delightfully returning to the top spot on Monday night."
As NBC Entertainment, Yahoo Entertainment, Reuters, and other websites reported, drama fans who cared about ratings immediately knew the situation on Monday. Fans of 'Prison Break' were overjoyed and understood NBC's feelings. As 'Friends' was set to conclude this season, losing a vital asset, it's no wonder that NBC's spokesperson Rebecca Marks said, "We are so surprised! This is a huge victory."
The 9:00–10:00 PM slot saw NBC's first episode of 'Prison Break' rake in an average viewership of 18.65 million! The overall rating reached 18; another important metric, the 18-49 adult viewership rating, hit 10.5, proving extremely popular among young adults.
