07/03/2002 at 12:00 PM EDT

NBC has cleaned up with its medical sitcom "Scrubs," according to the Nielsen ratings. A five-episode "Scrubs" marathon last Tuesday and a winning performance by the new reality game show "Dog Eat Dog" gave NBC a powerful demographic victory for the 14th straight week, showing great strength with the adults aged 18 to 49, notes the Hollywood Reporter. Other big winners for the week (even if they didn't make it on to the list of Top 10 overall programs) were Friday's "20/20," in which ABC newswoman Barbara Walters interviewed PEOPLE cover girl Tatum O'Neal about her ex-husband, John McEnroe, and Fox's "American Idol." The Top 10 shows for the week of June 17-23, according to the Nielsen numbers, were as follows:

1. "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," CBS, 10.4 million homes
2. "Everybody Loves Raymond," CBS, 9.4 million homes
3. "48 Hours Monday," CBS, 9.3 million homes
4. "Becker," CBS, 8.5 million homes
5. "Law & Order," NBC, 8.1 million homes
6. "60 Minutes," CBS, 8 million homes
7. "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," NBC, 7.4 million homes
8. (tie) "Dateline NBC -- Tuesday," NBC, 7.2 million homes
8. (tie) "The Price Is Right: U.S. Marines," CBS, 7.3 million homes
10. "The King of Queens," CBS, 7.1 million homes
