Sydney Bristow and company scored a viewership of 14.4 million viewers, compared to the 12.7 million who watched "Tri-Borough". To add insult to injury, rival NBC procedural drama series Law & Order also beat CSI: New York, attracting an audience of 14.2 million viewers.

This means that approximately 8.2% of American households with television sets were watching "Tri-Borough", while the episode was viewed by 13% of households watching television at 10:00 p.m. In the adults 18-49 demographic, New York scored a 4.4/11, putting it in third place again behind Law & Order (4.5/11) and Alias (6.2/15). Propelled by the success of Alias and lead-in Lost, ABC successfully won the night with CBS in second.

Why can't the CSIs get dates?

	All work and no play makes Greg a blue boy.
	It probably has something to do with the fact that every time Horatio Caine has sex with a woman, she dies.
	Shower sex loses its allure when there's lemons involved.
	These people collect body fluids for a living. Then again, if David the coroner can get laid...
	They can get dates, I bet. We just don't see it.
	Three words: Hank the Skank.
