Crime pays for summer rerun season: The two "CSI" shows and all three "Law & Order" shows monopolized last week's Top 10 ratings list, according to Nielsen Media Research.

In fact, all reruns ruled the roost, though NBC's new show "Last Comic Standing," a comedian version of "American Idol," at least finished in the Top 20, drawing 8.6 million viewers.

FOX's half-pint summer follow-up to "Idol," called "American Juniors," did even better, landing in the Top 10 with 9.8 million viewers.

For the week of June 16-22, the Top 10 TV shows were as follows:

1. "CSI," CBS, 14.3 million viewers
2. "CSI: Miami," CBS, 13.7 million
3. "Everybody Loves Raymond," CBS, 13 million
4. "Without a Trace," CBS, 12.1 million
5. "King of Queens," CBS, 12.4 million
6. "60 Minutes," CBS, 11.6 million
7. "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," NBC, 10.7 million
8. "Law & Order: SVU," NBC, 10.3 million
9. "Law & Order," NBC, 10.1 million
10. "American Juniors," Tuesday, FOX, 9.8 million
