"Ghost Whisperer" led off the night for CBS with a 5.9/11 at 8 p.m. A "20/20" special, "Secrets of the Sistine Chapel," earned a 4.3/8 for ABC. "Most Outrageous Moments" delivered a 3.5/6 for NBC. "Friday Night Smackdown!" put The CW in fourth, just ahead of the movie "Are We There Yet?," 2.0/4, on FOX.
CBS stayed on top at 9 p.m. with "Moonlight," 5.0/9. NBC moved into second with "Dateline," 4.1/7. ABC was third in households with "Duel," 2.6/5, but The CW brought in more viewers with "Smackdown!," 2.5/4. FOX's movie brought up the rear.
