UPN, the home of Enterprise, showed a modest gain in the sweeps, up 4% from last year in the households rating category.

According to The Futon Critic, UPN scored a 2.6/4, which means that on average approximately 2.6 percent of American households with television sets were tuned into UPN, while 4 percent of households watching television at the time were watching UPN. Last year, UPN scored a 2.5/4 in this category.

CBS came in first in total viewers, households, and adult age category 25-54, while coming in second in adults 18-49. CBS easily bested second place NBC, with 14.58 million viewers compared to NBC's 11.46. While CBS was up 10% from last year in viewers, second place NBC was down 12%. UPN came in last place with 3.94 million viewers, which was down 4% from last year's 4.09.

UPN also showed losses in adults 25-54, scoring a 1.7/4, down 6% from last year's 1.8/4. UPN's biggest loss was in the adults 18-49 category, where the network scored a 1.6/4, down 11% from last year's 1.8/5.

Though UPN placed last overall, it was the WB that suffered the biggest ratings losses. The WB showed losses in all categories, down 7% in households, down 15% in total viewers and adults 25-54, and down 19% in the adult 18-49 category.

CBS held the first place, while NBC came in second place, ABC came in third, FOX took fourth, the WB claimed fifth place, and UPN took the sixth place spot.
