Hemera/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) -- The 2012-2013 TV season will end this week with CBS again claiming the title of the most-watched broadcast network.
CBS has led the way with a primetime average of 11.85 million viewers -- exactly four million more than second-place ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Jonathan Leibson/FilmMagic(LOS ANGELES) -- The company that Lindsay Lohan sued earlier this year is firing back against the actress, claiming that she tarnished the brand due to her bad reputation.
In legal documents obtained by E! News, D.N.A.M. Apparel Industries is suing Lohan for $5 million for breach-of-contract.
The clothing company claims that despite initial success in department stores, the 27-year-old's fashionable leggings failed to appeal to buyers who "did not want to be associated with Lohan's drug-addled image."
The suit, which was filed last Friday, also claims that starting in 2011 "no one would touch the line."
