Broadcast TV Ratings for Thursday, March 13, 2008 March 14, 2008 12:56 pm

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.

Fox easily won another Wednesday night thanks to a solid performance by The Moment of Truth, and the always reliable American Idol.

Elsewhere on the evening, NBC took an unexpected second place, thanks to strong outings from its lead-off series Deal or No Deal and episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Law & Order.

The CW’s once reliable America’s Next Top Model continues to draw below-average crowds, something the struggling network simply can’t afford to happen.

Broadcast TV Ratings for Tuesday, March 11, 2008 March 12, 2008 10:22 pm

A two-hour edition of American Idol dominated the television lineup.  Don’t believe me?  The network out-performed the combined numbers of the other four nets on the evening by viewers (29.33M vs. 22.93M), households (16.7 rating vs. 15.3 rating) and adults 18-49 (10.8 rating vs. 7.6 rating).

Pretty impressive.

In season finale/season premiere news, the seventh season finale of According to Jim was off by 25% from last season’s finale, while The CW’s Beauty and the Geek got off to a terrible start.  The series was off by 1.5 million or 44% among viewers and 47% among adults 18-49.
