Network viewers were more interested in Farrah Fawcett than Michael Jackson last night — but they still preferred CSI reruns and So You Think You Can Dance overall. Fox won the night in key demos, while ABC’s news specials were the most watched among their ilk.

I really enjoyed both the Michael Jackson special at 9pm and the Farrah Fawcett special at 10. Both were very appropriate and respectable.
