That's one way of interpreting the number. Here's another: more than 30 million people watched the Feb. 17 episode of CSI, a show that has been on the air since 2000. It is probably the most gruesome, explicit drama on broadcast TV--and it is the single most popular. Did all those people tune in by accident?
