ABC’s Lost won the night among the key A18-49 demographic, but it wasn’t enough to hold off CBS, which was the nights most-watched network among households, viewers and adults 18-49, overall.

With American Idol not airing, the majority of viewers migrated to CBS, which saw its 8:00-10:00 time period (which included the nights most-watched program Survivor) increase by 10% among viewers and 6% among adults 18-49.

NBC’s night was on par with prior performances, while Fox saw solid ratings out of its two returning competition series’ Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? and Don’t Forget the Lyrics!, enough to put the network in second place for the evening among total audience.

Over on The CW, Smallville returned after a three week hiatus stronger than where it left off, while Reaper premiered in its new time slot (after a three month break) and had no loss of viewership. In fact, despite the series’ viewership still under 3 million viewers, it increased over its last newly aired episode by 7% among viewers.

Retention for Reaper out of Smallville was 71% among households, 74% among viewers and 75% among adults 18-49. That’s only slightly lower than Supernatural’s most recent retention figures: 75%, 81% and 80% respectively.

Considering the long layoff and the new time slot, this is an okay performance for Reaper.
