Fox carried the evening thanks to a two-hour edition of American Idol. However, the program declined from last week’s near 30M mark, by 1.12 million viewers (-4%) and 9% among adults 18-49.
Elsewhere on the evening, a two-hour edition of Biggest Loser and a repeat of SVU put NBC in second place, ahead of third place finisher CBS, who saw its original programs Big Brother and Jericho suffer steep week two declines in their new seasons. Jericho was off by 1.14 million, or 16% among viewers and 23% among adults 18-49 from last week’s season two premiere. Not good news.
ABC and The CW followed in fourth and fifth, respectively.
