NBC drew better than average numbers on Wednesday night, but it wasn’t enough to overcome American Idol, which led Fox to another first place Wednesday night showing.
NBC’s Law & Order returned very strong. The episode, which was the last for actor Jesse L. Martin, was up an impressive 2.14 million/20% among viewers and 23% among adults 18-49 from its last newly aired episode back in March, helping propel NBC to a competitive second place on the evening.
Also worth noting was The CW’s lineup, but for different reasons. America’s Next Top Model matched its season high of a 2.0 rating among adults 18-49 and drew more than four million viewers for the first time this season (4.23M).
Meanwhile, the season two finale of Pussycat Dolls Present broke the 2 million mark for the first time this season (2.30M). Overall though, the second season of the series was a big disappointment, averaging just 1.70 million viewers and a 0.8/2 rating/share among adults 18-49 over nine episodes. To put that in perspective, the first season of the show averaged a significantly better 2.96 million viewers and a 1.3/3 rating/share among adults 18-49 over eight episodes. That’s a drop of 1.26 million/43% among viewers and 38% among adults 18-49 (click here for a season 1-2 ratings chart).
