Because Bones aired instead of Lie to Me, it’s hard to do completely direct comparisons to last week, but everything was up from last week, a bit, including American Idol. TV watching in general was up a bit from last Wednesday. Lost bounced (at least a little) off its series lows last week to a 3.9 in the demo. The second installment of The Unusuals dropped from last week’s premiere of a 2.1 rating down to a 1.9 rating. People said I was crazy for predicting the show would be canceled with only one data point, but now there’s two.Source: TV by the Numbers
