Ratings: American Idol dominates Tuesday night again

23.5 million viewers tuned-in for the last 30 minutes of the Top 10 show. For a season with allegedly bad singers -- American Idol is doing spectacularly well. Maybe it's Ellen DeGeneres.

From TVbytheNumbers:

Of course the two hour American Idol dominated Tuesday’s ratings, while the return of ABC’s V scored a 2.9 adults 18-49 rating, 6% below the 3.1 rating for its last episode in the fall.

American Idol rolled over the night as usual averaging a 7.5 adults 18-49 rating. That was down 11% from last week, but Idol overran 2:46 into the 10pm hour, so an upward adjustment in the final ratings is more likely than usual. Idol fans (or non-fans) keeping track at home can note the show is down 6% in adults 18-49 ratings vs. last season at this point.

Dancing With the Stars Results spring “premiere” 2.9 adults 18-49 rating was up 4% from the comparable results “premiere” last spring. Lost’s 4.0 rating was even with last week’s episode.
