Ratings: 'Big Bang' beats 'Idol' in first head-to-head of the 2014 season
American Idol had a 3.1 adult rating on Thursday, down 8% from last week. This is down 31% from a similar show last year (4.5). It had 11.23 million viewers.
The Big Bang Theory had a 5.1 rating and 18.88 million viewers, the #1 show and most watched of the night.
Community had a 1.1 rating and 2.99 million viewers.
The Vampire Diaries had 1.0 rating and 2.36 million viewers.
The Taste had a 1.0 rating and 3.53 million viewers.
Reign had a 0.7 rating and 1.69 million viewers. (It's up!)
Elementary had a 2.0 rating and 10.16 million viewers.
Rake on FOX continues to fall with a 1.3 rating and 5.30 million viewers.
So I was wrong. American Idol did not dip to the 2's this week. Maybe next week. The X Factor fan in me really wants that to happen! LOL
