But are CBS viewers oldies? Not me!! TV by the Numbers reports:
CBS still has a bit of an age problem with some shows in reruns outside of its Monday night lineup, particularly with shows like Criminal Minds, NCIS and 60 Minutes which perform great overall but aren’t even among the top 32 highest rated 18-49 shows.
The 18-49 age group in the highly sought after one for advertisers. But Criminal Minds lands in the top twenty consistently, making it a solid performer for CBS.
