Even though it was the umpteenth time Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton had faced off, ABC’s debate actually did quite well…especially on an American Idol night.
8pm
- Yesterday’s 2008 presidential debate (10.7 million, 2.7/7 in 18-49) was the season’s most-watched.
- Deal or No Deal (9.7 million, 2.6/8) and Big Brother (6.1 million, 2.3/7) were both up 100,00 from last week.
- ‘Til Death (2.0/7) had 5.8 million laughing; Back to You (7 million, 2.4/7) did even better.
- About 3.7 million saw Stacy-Ann sent home on America’s Next Top Model (1.8/6).
