Fox continues to roll over the competition, with another strong performance by American Idol, which gave a good boost to returning comedy Back to You. Back to You grew by 5.02 million or 69% among viewers and 80% among adults 18-49 from its last newly aired episode back in November of last year, posting series highs.

Elsewhere on the evening, week three of the new season of Jericho managed to register a much needed boost, improving week-to-week by 1.04 million or 18% among viewers and 10% among adults 18-49.

Overall viewership, however, remains low at under 7 million.

In series premiere news, NBC’s MySpace.com series Quarterlife flopped with less than 4 million viewers, and retention from its lead-in at a very weak 48% among households and 52% among adults 18-49.

The CW’s One Tree Hill continues to motor along with solid ratings, growing by 11% among households and 8% among adults 18-49.
