Last night’s two-hour episode of American Idol faced direct competition with CBS’ powerhouse. Although Idol was the night’s top draw, the program saw a drop from last year’s outing. The Mentalist also took a numbers hit, though the blow could have been worse.

Tuesday Ratings: Biggest Loser Grows Despite Idol
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Scrubs, Ratings,
I was always lead to believe that shows airing at the same time as Idol would suffer because of it. Apparently that isn’t the case with The Biggest Loser. Last night, the NBC show actually improved in the face of Simon Cowell.
8pm
- American Idol (25.2 million, 9.6/24 in 18-49) picked up 2.8 million in the post-inauguration week.
- NCIS (19 million, 3.9/10) was up 7.3 million over last week’s repeat.
- The Biggest Loser: Couples (11 million, 4.1/10) beefed up by 8%.
- Homeland Security USA (1.6/4) settled for 5.6 million.
- 90210* (1.1 million, 0.4/1) lost 1.3 million.

Tuesday Ratings: Good and Bad News for American Idol
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Scrubs, Ratings,
The addition of a 4th judge didn’t help American Idol‘s ratings last night. The series saw its lowest demo number for a premiere; it also had its smallest audience for an opener since 2004. But bad news is always relative. The show was still the hottest ticket so far this year. CBS’ programs, in the meantime, displayed remarkable strength despite increased competition.
8pm
- Approximately 30.1 million (11.7/28 in 18-49) saw American Idol‘s Phoenix auditions.
- NCIS (18.6 million, 3.7/9) only lost 500,000.
- The Biggest Loser: Couples (8.9 million, 3.3/8) gave up 2.9 million.
- Homeland Security USA (6 million, 1.8/5) let 1.8 million go.
- 90210 (2.2 million, 1.1/3) slid by 21%.

Tuesday Ratings: Biggest Loser Gains Viewers
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, House, Scrubs, Ratings,
Could this be the Oprah effect? Or was it simply a result of New Year’s Resolutions? Whatever the reason, NBC’s The Biggest Loser had a sizable debut. The show helped the Peacock network win in the demos while CBS’ normally strong Wednesday lineup had a victory with the viewers.
8pm
- NCIS (19.1 million, 3.7/10 in 18-49) had its second largest audience ever.
- The Biggest Loser (11.8 million, 4.5/11) had its biggest debut to date.
