« Today's News: Our Take
Ratings: Strong Bones, Lights and Knights Prosper
This Wednesday's ratings notes:
• With an audience of 12.56 million total viewers, Bones enjoyed its best outing in a year and its second-largest audience ever.
• Friday Night Lights (6.86 million) soared almost a mil, delivering its best numbers since the series' Oct. 3 premiere. (PS. Did you see the Ausiello Report's latest casting scooplet?)
• ABC seems to have solved its comedy conundrum: Despite a loss of 1.7 million viewers when compared to According to Jim, The Knights of Prosperity (5.25 million) boosted its previous tally by a mil, and the 8 o'clock block was up a hair overall. The 9 pm combo of Jim (5.75 mil, down 400K) and In Case of Emergency (4.57 mil, up 1.6 mil thanks to a stronger lead-in) was up two million overall.
• Beauty and the Geek (4.08 million) was up a mil. (Because someone will ask.)
• American Idol (31.45 million) dominated at 9, yet slipped two mil week-to-week (and that's versus a Criminal Minds repeat).
• A warmed-over CSI: NY (10.6 million) bested a surging Medium (9.83 mil, up a mil).

So thrilled to see Bones' numbers soar. It deserves this and I'm glad American Idol can help give it this visibility.

Wow AI is helping all the Fox shows! Good for Bones. Again, I don't watch it regularly but I have once or twice and it's good. I like the lead actress Emily. She's got great bone structure which I find funny given the title is 'Bones'. Also she has a love interest now which never hurts... Might get Booth jealous!

Awesome new for Friday Night Lights! Last night's ep was terrific.
I'm glad that Bones is enjoying an upsurge too.
I wonder how the 8pm numbers will change when Jericho re-enters the picture.

yay for Bones!!!
It was a great episode last night. Let's hope it grabbed people's attention, and it keeps getting these numbers in the following weeks.
And I'm also happy for Medium.
I still haven't catch up with the new episodes, I'm still on season 2. there's so much to watch these days...

A terrific night all around! I'm saving Bones to watch this weekend (with Veronica and a few others), but I'm CHEERING for Knights and for FNL!!! After a Fall of Discontent, perhaps we are settling into a winter where the networks are learning to be a little more patient. We can only hope!
