If Lost and American Idol both go up, that can only mean one thing: CBS was airing a repeat.
8pm
- A special episode of Bones (3.0/9 in 18-49) raked in 10.8 million.

Wednesday Ratings: The Unusuals Does the Usual
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, American Idol, Lost, Scrubs, Ratings,
Despite a flurry of promotion for the new series, ABC’s The Unusuals did what most shows do in that time slot: not much of anything. The premiere lost 18% of its lead-in’s audience and made it that much easier for FOX to dominate.
8pm
- Lie to Me (8.4 million, 2.5/8 in 18-49) fell by 600,000.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (7.3 million, 2.1/7) and Gary Unmarried (7.3 million, 2.2/7) finished with similar numbers.
- Scrubs (4.7 million, 1.8/6) lost 300,00; Better Off Ted (4.2 million, 1.7/5) dropped 500,000.
- America’s Next Top Model (3.7 million, 1.7/5) was down by 200,000.

As I predicted, Lost was not better off with Ted last night. Even though most shows saw decreases yesterday, the ABC series had its smallest audience to date.
8pm
- Lie to Me (10 million, 3.1/9 in 18-49) fell by 1.1 million.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (7.4 million, 2.1/7) and Gary Unmarried (7.6 million, 2.3/7) were both down slightly.
- Scrubs (5.8 million, 2.2/7) raised 2.2 million; Better Off Ted (2.2/6) premiered to 5.6 million.
- America’s Next Top Model (3.6 million, 1.6/5) gave up 900,000.

Wednesday Ratings: Chopping Block Fails to Make the Cut
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, American Idol, Lost, Scrubs, Ratings,
Cooking-related shows may serve well for FOX and Bravo, but they do nothing for NBC. Last night’s premiere of The Chopping Block debuted to fewer viewers than Knight Rider‘s finale. (Ouch!) Meanwhile, Lie to Me performed better than expected in its new time slot. The freshman drama worked with American Idol to give FOX two easy victories.
8pm
- Lie to Me (11.1 million, 3.4/10 in 18-49) picked up 900,000.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (7.6 million, 2.1/6) added on 2.1 million; Gary Unmarried (7.7 million, 2.3/7) rose by 2.3 million.
- America’s Next Top Model (4.5 million, 1.9/6) improved by 600,000.
- The Chopping Block (1.4.4) premiered to 4 million.
- Scrubs* (1.2/3) pulled in 3.6 million.

The 12th season of America’s Next Top Model premiered on a healthy note last night. (That’s good news for the show’s 13th and 14th installments.) Even though it faced direct competition from American Idol, the CW program was up 11% from its fall debut.
8pm
- American Idol (22.5 million, 7.7/21 in 18-49) was down 1.8 million from last Wednesday.

8pm

Monday Ratings: Heroes Can’t Rescue NBC
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Heroes, House, Medium, Ratings,
CBS’ repeat-filled lineup gave NBC a chance to pick up some ground yesterday. Unfortunately, the Peacock squandered its opportunity and sunk even further last night. FOX, in the meantime, seized the evening and placed first in both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- House (14.6 million, 5.4/14 in 18-49) picked up 600,000.
- The Bachelor special (11 million, 3.7/9) was off 1.5 million from the last regular episode.

- Chuck (6.5 million, 2.2/6) had its smallest audience yet.
- Gossip Girl* (1.1 million, 0.4/1) did about the same.

Wednesday Ratings: Lost Comes Back to Life
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Lost, Ratings,
Despite a slow decline since its season debut, Lost saw a spark of life last night. Yesterday’s episode saw the return of the Oceanic 6…and the viewers. But, as we know, there isn’t anything Jack or Ben can do to topple American Idol. FOX easily won both categories this Wednesday.
8pm
- American Idol (24.4 million, 8.9/24 in 18-49) did about the same as last week.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (2.0/6) and Gary Unmarried (2.1/5) both pulled in 7.3 million.
- A Lost* repeat (5.6 million, 1.9/5) picked up 1.2 million.
- Knight Rider (5.5 million, 1.5/4) remained steady.
- Privileged* (860,000, 0.3/1) lost 240,000.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Lost, Ratings,
