The return of "Survivor" took CBS to the top of the Nielsen rankings last week as the pace of premieres of new and returning series picked up in advance of the official start of the 2003-04 season this week.
CBS led the field in total viewers for the period ended Sept. 21 (10 million) and tied Fox for No. 1 in the adults 18-49 demo derby with an average 3.4 rating/10 share, according to Nielsen Media Research data issued Tuesday.
ABC ran a close second in viewers (9.4 million) and adults 18-49 (3.3/10) thanks to a strong showing from "Monday Night Football" and a big turnout Tuesday for the hourlong tribute to John Ritter , the veteran actor and star of ABC's "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" who died Sept. 11.
