NEW YORK -- NBC got an end-of-the-year present with a weekly win in adults 18-49 and the week's two top shows.
Sunday Night Football and the season finale of The Biggest Loser were the top shows during a week that was mostly repeats and would have been even if there wasn't a writers strike.
The week began with a looming battle between reality shows, ABC's Duel (6.7 million, 2.1/6) and NBC's Clash of the Choirs (7.9 million, 2.4/6).
But it was CBS' tried-and-true schedule of comedies and CSI: Miami (14 million, 3.9/10) -- all but CSI: Miami in repeats -- that won the night.
Tuesday belonged to NBC, whose The Biggest Loser (11.4 million, 4.6/13) was the top program in adults 18-49 while a repeat NCIS (13 million, 2.7/8) was the most-watched show of the night. Wednesday went to CBS, whose holiday and drama repeats took the network over the third episode of Clash of the Choirs (7.8 milion, 2.4/7)
CBS made it two nights in a row on Thursday thanks to a repeat "CSI" (10.3 milion, 2.9/8).

CBS won a quiet night of primetime, with the reality competitions Clash of the Choirs and Duel failing to make much of an impact but not losing much from their performances Monday and Tuesday.
Clash (8.3 million, 2.4/7) remained steady in adults 18-49 all week while recording its highest viewership so far, according to preliminary estimates released Thursday by Nielsen Media Research. It also out-dueled Duel (7.4 million, 2.2/7) when it went up against the ABC game show between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. But Clash met its match in a repeat Criminal Minds (11.6 million, 2.9/8).
The 10 p.m. hour went to a repeat CSI: NY (11.2 million, 2.9/8), which beat ABC's Ford's Theatre special (4.9 million, 1.2/3) as well as NBC's Journeyman (4.6 million, 1.7/5).
CBS (10 million, 2.7/8) won in both measures against ABC (5.9 million, 1.7/5); NBC (7 million, 2.2/6); Fox (4.7 million, 1.9/5) and the CW (1.8 million, 0.8/2).

NEW YORK -- Clash of the Choirs struck a sour note and Duel wasn't all that strong as CBS' comedy and CSI: Miami lineup came out ahead in Monday's primetime.
NBC premiered a two-hour Clash and game show Duel fought for an hour and a half, only to find themselves outdueled by the proven CBS lineup. Then a weakened CSI: Miami -- which fell to its lowest original telecast ratings ever -- was able to easily dispatch its rivals at 10 p.m. Monday's preliminary estimates were released Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research.
Clash (7.9 million viewers, 2.4 rating/6 share in adults 18-49) was in a virtual dead heat with Duel (7.7 million, 2.5/7), but ABC fell at 9:30 p.m. with Notes From the Underbelly (5 million, 1.9/5).
CBS was highlighted by an hour of repeat Two and a Half Men (11.4 million, 3.7/9) before CSI: Miami (13.9 million, 3.9/10) won at 10 p.m. NBC's Journeyman (4.4 million, 1.6/4) dropped to its lowest adults 18-49 rating of the season, while October Road (5.7 million, 2.2/6) came in second in the hour.

A pair of cable series -- Showtime's Dexter and VH1's I Love New York 2 -- ended their seasons in a big way this week.
Elsewhere in TV ratings news, NBC's Clash of the Choirs struck a sour note and ABC's Duel was outdueled in their respective premieres Monday.
Dexter, which continues to be Showtime's most-watched original series, drew 1.4 million total viewers to its second-season finale at 9 p.m. Sunday, making it the drama's most-watched episode ever, according to Nielsen Media Research. The tally represents a 14% improvement over the first-season finale, which averaged 1.2 million in December 2006.
A repeat airing at 10 p.m. averaged 382,000 viewers. That's up from the same-night Season 1 repeat (148,000), though that episode aired at midnight.
When factoring in DVR-playback data, Dexter is averaging 2.4 million viewers on a weekly basis through 11 full weeks, outperforming Season 1 (2 million) by 21%.
Although Showtime has not made any announcement, Dexter is expected to be picked up for a third season.

Michael Bolton, Patti LaBelle, Nick Lachey, Kelly Rowland and Blake Shelton are set to serve as celebrity choirmasters on NBC's holiday talent competition series Clash of the Choirs.
The BBC Worldwide Prods.-produced show will air Dec. 17-20 live from New York.
Bolton, LaBelle, Lachey, Rowland and Shelton will go back to their hometowns to assemble a choir of 20 amateur singers.
After rehearsing with their choirmaster in their hometowns, the choirs will fly to New York to perform live in a musical "sing-off" competition over four consecutive nights. Viewers will vote one choir off the show each night.
In addition to training their pupils for their stage numbers, the celebrities will critique the performances, along with a music expert.
The winning choir, along with the hometown celebrity musician, will choose a prize to help their community -- anything from renovating a school gym to building a new neighborhood playground.
"For the musicians, it's a chance to give back to the town that supported and nurtured them when they were starting out, and for the choir members, they become instant hometown heroes," NBC reality chief Craig Plestis said.
