Ratings: American Idol wins Tuesday

American Idol won Tuesday's ratings, but is down 2% from last week and 6% from last year. But before the haters celebrate, every show last night suffered -- with Idol suffering less than everyone else.

From TVbytheNumbers:

The night’s dominant show, American Idol, suffered less than most, down just 2% from last week to an 8.0 adults 18-49 rating. For the Idol fans keeping track at home, the show’s down just 6% season to date in the important adults 18-49 ratings. So much for missing Paula.

ABC’s Lost fell yet again, down 10% from last week to a season low, and tied for a regular episode series low, 3.8 adults 18-49 rating.

CBS suffered from the sunburn (or meme-burn) too. NCIS was down 11% to a season low 3.4 adults 18-49 rating. NCIS:LA fell 9% from last week to a 3.2 rating.
