Ratings: A Nearly Three-Month High Is in Order
Law & Order
Wednesday's ratings recap:
8 pm/ET
President Barack Obama's 100-day touch-base drew 19 million total viewers across ABC, CBS and NBC. That's down 39 percent from his previous prime-time address, though one must remember that Fox was not carrying the POTUS this go-round.
Fox instead went with Lie to Me, which matched last week's 7.88 mil. Similarly, Top Model held steady at 4 mil.
9 pm
American Idol's reveal of the Top 4 played to 21.85 million viewers, down 6 percent week-to-week. Criminal Minds claimed second with 13.27 mil, dipping 280K. Lost found 8.81 mil celebrating its 100th episode, down 200 thou from its last fresh episode.
10 pm
CSI: NY topped the hour with 12.47 mil, on par with its last new episode. Law & Order followed with 7.7 mil, its largest audience since Feb. 4. ABC's The Unusuals was flat with 5.08 mil.
