A two-hour version of American Idol only gave viewers more reason to keep their ears - and eyes - on FOX last night.
8pm
- American Idol (24.3 million, 8.9/23 in 18-49) did about the same.
- A special episode of The Biggest Loser: Couples (3.3/9) did 3.2 million better than Knight Rider.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Scrubs, Ratings,
Last night’s two-hour episode of American Idol faced direct competition with CBS’ powerhouse. Although Idol was the night’s top draw, the program saw a drop from last year’s outing. The Mentalist also took a numbers hit, though the blow could have been worse.

- NCIS (18.1 million, 3.7/10) remained even.

MONDAY 2/16)
- Chuck (NBC, 8pm): “Chuck and Sarah go undercover as a happily married couple in surburbia.” A happy couple in surburbia? Isn’t the whole point to be inconspicuous?
- Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC, 9pm): “The Gosselins settle into their new home after the big move, but there’s still lots of work to be done.” And Kate will make sure Jon knows it.
- Kyle XY (ABC Family, 9pm): “Kyle reluctantly starts working at Latnok to repay his debt, and it’s not at all what he expects. Yet he still wants to quit, until he considers the Tragers’ current financial situation.” Back up a second—someone’s hiring?
- True Beauty (ABC, 10pm): “Contestants walk the red carpet with their parents, but there are also several secret tests of manners going on.” In other words, pushing mom out of your spotlight would be inadvisable.

Tuesday Ratings: Biggest Loser Grows Despite Idol
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Scrubs, Ratings,
I was always lead to believe that shows airing at the same time as Idol would suffer because of it. Apparently that isn’t the case with The Biggest Loser. Last night, the NBC show actually improved in the face of Simon Cowell.
8pm
- American Idol (25.2 million, 9.6/24 in 18-49) picked up 2.8 million in the post-inauguration week.
- NCIS (19 million, 3.9/10) was up 7.3 million over last week’s repeat.
- The Biggest Loser: Couples (11 million, 4.1/10) beefed up by 8%.
- Homeland Security USA (1.6/4) settled for 5.6 million.
- 90210* (1.1 million, 0.4/1) lost 1.3 million.

MONDAY 1/19)
- The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm): “Ricky’s dad arrives in town with a proposal for how Ricky should handle impending fatherhood.” Apparently leaving town is an option?
- House (FOX, 8pm): “Cuddy discovers that caring for her newly adopted baby leaves her little time to run the hospital.” Taking care of House and a baby is an impossible feat.
- Bromance (MTV, 9pm): “The guys embark on a camping trip, but before reaching their destination, they stop at a biker bar where each must face off against a huge biker in the parking lot.” The reality is, many people want to kick Brody Jenner‘s ass. It’s time to hone their defense skills now.
- Paranormal State (A&E, 10pm): Season premiere. “A family believes their new home in suburban New Jersey is haunted. The team’s investigation leads them to dig in the yard for possible answers.” Haunting or no haunting, buried things in my yard is reason enough to move.

Tuesday Ratings: Good and Bad News for American Idol
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Scrubs, Ratings,
The addition of a 4th judge didn’t help American Idol‘s ratings last night. The series saw its lowest demo number for a premiere; it also had its smallest audience for an opener since 2004. But bad news is always relative. The show was still the hottest ticket so far this year. CBS’ programs, in the meantime, displayed remarkable strength despite increased competition.
8pm
- Approximately 30.1 million (11.7/28 in 18-49) saw American Idol‘s Phoenix auditions.
- NCIS (18.6 million, 3.7/9) only lost 500,000.
- The Biggest Loser: Couples (8.9 million, 3.3/8) gave up 2.9 million.
- Homeland Security USA (6 million, 1.8/5) let 1.8 million go.
- 90210 (2.2 million, 1.1/3) slid by 21%.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, House, Scrubs, Ratings,
Could this be the Oprah effect? Or was it simply a result of New Year’s Resolutions? Whatever the reason, NBC’s The Biggest Loser had a sizable debut. The show helped the Peacock network win in the demos while CBS’ normally strong Wednesday lineup had a victory with the viewers.
8pm
- NCIS (19.1 million, 3.7/10 in 18-49) had its second largest audience ever.
- The Biggest Loser (11.8 million, 4.5/11) had its biggest debut to date.
- The premiere of Homeland Security USA (2.3/6) attracted 7.8 million.
