Ratings: Idol Drops Slightly; ABC Comedies Up
American Idol's ladies weren't too far off of the boys' performance — ratings-wise, that is.
Idol's female semifinalists performance show won Wednesday for Fox with 17 million viewers and a 4.9 in the adults 18-to-49 demo — a tenth below Tuesday's rating. The ladies, however, managed to lure about a million more viewers than the guys did. Compared to last week, the demo was also down slightly, but viewership was up.
Idol: Who will make the Top 13?
Following a series low in the demo last week, Survivor: One World (10.6 million) rose a smidge to a 2.9.
ABC also saw bumps on three of its shows — The Middle (8.5 million, 2.6), Suburgatory (7.2 million, 2.4) and Happy Endings (6.2 million, 2.8) — while the other two, Modern Family (11.7 million, 4.8) and Revenge (7.4 million, 2.4) remained even.
On The CW, the America's Next Top Model British invasion season premiere (1.29 million, 0.6) dropped 45 percent in the demo from its same opener last year.
