Ratings Rat Race: 'Law & Order: LA' Fizzles In Relaunch, Fox, NBC, CBS Series Hit Lows
It was a brutal night all around with most shows hitting lows, but it was especially disappointing for NBC, whose heavily promoted relaunch of Law & Order: LA bombed, drawing a paltry 1.5/4 among adults 18-49 for its two-hour premiere and 6 million viewers. That was down 32% from LOLA‘s most original telecast on Dec…
RATINGS RAT RACE: Most Series Fall
With sports offering plenty of drama yesterday between the final round of The Masters and the Yankees-Red Sox face-off on cable, entertainment programs largely took a hit. Fox’s hit comedy Family Guy (3.3/9) was the one show that held its ground, flat with its most recent original March 27. American Dad (1.6/5) at…
RATINGS RAT RACE: 'Chaos' Drops In Week 2, Drags CBS Down To No. 2 In Adults 18-49

Chaos also pushed down CSI: NY (1.6/5, off 11%, 9.4 million)…
RATINGS RAT RACE: 'Raising Hope' Gets Post-'Idol' Bump, 'Traffic Light' Doesn't
Gwyneth Paltrow returned to Glee last night, and the Fox dramedy (4.6/14 in adults 18-49, 12 million viewers) went up 5% in the ratings from its most recent original 2 weeks ago. After finishing tied for first place in 18-49 with CBS’ NCIS for the first time on Jan. 22, Glee returned to its status of sole demo winner…
RATINGS RAT RACE: 'Event' Down In Return
Fox was onto something when it scheduled serialized drama 24 like a reality series, airing it over a half-season with no breaks, a model that was subsequently adopted by another successful serialized drama, ABC’s Lost. How damaging are long hiatuses for serialized dramas? Look at NBC’s Heroes, which quickly ran out of…
Ratings Rat Race: Strong Start For 'Secret Millionaire', 'Celebrity Apprentice' Down
Reality series Secret Millionaire started its second incarnation on American television strong, pulling a 3.3/9 in 18-49 and 12.6 million viewers in its debut on ABC last night. That was ABC’s best performance in the 8 PM hour with regular programming since March 2008 (in viewers) and November 2009 (18-49). Secret Mill…
RATINGS RAT RACE: 'American Idol' Up, Dominates Repeat-Laden Thursday
Fox’s American Idol reigned supreme last night while the other networks turned off the lights following the end of the February sweep on Wednesday.

RATINGS RAT RACE: 'Idol' Wins, Most Series Status Quo On Wednesday
Fox’s 90-minute American Idol (7.7/22 in adults 18-49, 20.6 million), featuring performances by the 12 female semi-finalists, was down 3% in 18-49 and flat in total viewers from last week’s two-hour Wednesday edition. Vs. the comparable night last season and the boys’ semi-final round on Tuesday, Idol was up 3% and…
RATINGS RAT RACE: Charlie Sheen Is A Hit
ABC’s special Charlie Sheen edition of 20/20 (3.3/10 in adults 18-49, 9.5 million viewers) was the top-rated program among adults 18-49 at 10 PM last night. It almost doubled its lead-in, drama V (1.8/5, 5 million, down 5% in 18-49), a rare feat for a program in the DVR-heavy 10 PM hour. This was ABC’s best…
RATINGS RAT RACE: 'Men' Repeat Is No.1 In Viewers, 'Harry's Law' & 'Mike & Molly' Up
Viewers can’t get enough of Charlie Sheen. After a day of media blitz featuring a string of interviews with the troubled Two and a Half Men star, viewers flocked to watch him on the show that spawned all the controversy. A repeat of Men (11.6 million viewers, 3.2/9 in adults 18-49) was the most watched show on…
RATINGS RAT RACE: 'CSI' & 'Grey's Anatomy' Hit Lows Against 'American Idol'
Two hours of Fox’s American Idol (7.2/20 in adults 18-49, 21.6 million viewers) dominated another Thursday, delivering the highest numbers on the night with non-sports programming for any network in 3 years (18-49) and 4 years (total viewers).
