Tuesday Ratings: FOX Cooks Up the Win

Hell’s Kitchen - a usual summer staple - made an appetizing debut last night.  Combined with American Idol, the show helped FOX win in both the demos and the viewers.

8pm

• American Idol (25.2 million, 9.3/25 in 18-49) grew in size since last week.
• NCIS* (10.2 million, 2.1/6) was up 800,000.
• The Biggest Loser (8.2 million, 3.3/8) tacked on 300,000 lbs.
• Just for Laughs (1.4/4) took in just 5.5 million.
• Beauty and the Geek (1.6 million, 0.7/2) did the same as before.

MONDAY (3/31)

• Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm):  The top 10 dancers take the floor tonight.  If Marlee Matlin also manages to master the fast jive, she’ll have my votes from this point out.

• How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30):  “Barney tries to find the mystery woman who’s out to ruin his reputation, and he uses the basketball tournament-bracket template to eliminate 64 suspects.”  Okay - if CBS can’t get around to finally renewing this series, I will give them 64 reasons why I hate them.
• New Amsterdam (FOX, 9pm):  “When a murder victim in Chinatown murder reminds John of a son he lost in the early 20th century, the investigation leads to a ruthless crime family who are related to his offspring.”  And I thought Terminator‘s storyline was trippy.
