American Idol remained down from its year-ago numbers, but the show was still far and away the strongest for the evening with over 30 million viewers.

Additionally, the series continues to negatively affect its competition, as all four networks (with the exception of NBC which remained a solid second place) experienced significant loss of audience in the 8:00-10:00 time period.

My full analysis of the nights programs follows after the jump.

The return of American Idol was huge as expected, but the show was actually down a bit from last season’s premiere.

None the less, because of the show, Fox outdrew the combined viewer and A18-49 total of the remaining four networks.

Broadcast TV Ratings for Monday, January 14, 2008 January 15, 2008 1:29 pm

NBC and CBS held off episode two of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and the return of Prison Break as both networks were a competitive first and second among households and viewers.

Fox though managed a second place finish among adults 18-49 (NBC was first).

In its time series debut, The Sarah Connor Chronicles declined by 45% among viewers and 44% among adults 18-49 from the night prior.  That’s certainly a negative, but its overall performance (over 10 million viewers and 3rd place for the night among adults 18-49)  was still solid.

NBC won the night thanks to the continued strong performance of American Gladiators and the nights most-watched program in all three categories (Deal or No Deal).

ABC saw its new series Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann perform well in its second week out, with minimal loss from the week prior, but the network was hurt by poor performances from Notes from the Underbelly and October Road.

Broadcast TV Ratings for Thursday, January 10, 2008 January 11, 2008 5:31 pm

ABC and CBS each returned their powerhouse programs (CSI and Grey’s Anatomy) and both shows performed on par with their most recent airings. Grey’s Anatomy took the household and adults 18-49 win, while CSI came away with the win among total viewers.

Helping CBS secure the household and viewer win for the night was Without a Trace, while ABC stayed just strong enough to take the A18-49 win for the night.

Third place for the night went to Fox, which got strong numbers from Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader.

And lastly, NBC saw so-so numbers for its comedy lineup, Celebrity Apprentice and ER. Despite a weekly decline (obviously inflicted because of the addition of CSI and Grey’s Anatomy to the hour), Celebrity Apprentice showed very solid growth from its lead-in.
