AMERICAN IDOL - FALLING IDOL?
With ratings for last week's performance edition of American Idol falling
to a five-year-low and its results edition to a four-year low, Fox barely managed
to retain its ratings crown last week. The network averaged 8.8 million viewers for
the week, just 300,000 more than CBS. Nevertheless, the two Idol telecasts remained
at the top of the heap last week. Somewhat surprisingly, CBS's NCIS became
the network's highest-rated show for the week, drawing 15.1 million viewers, despite
the fact that it went head-to-head against Fox's Idol.
The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research:
1. American
Idol (Tuesday), Fox, 13.9/22; 2. American Idol (Wednesday), Fox, 13.4/21;
3. Dancing With the Stars (Monday), ABC, 11.3/17; 4. Dancing With the Stars (Tuesday), ABC, 10.1/15; 4. Desperate Housewives, ABC, 10.1/16; 6. NCIS,
CBS, 9.4/15; 7. Law and Order: SVU, NBC, 8.8/14; 8. CSI: NY, CBS, 8.6/14;
9. Two and a Half Men, CBS, 8.5/13; 10. Criminal Minds, CBS, 8.2/13.
