The web site Zap2it reports that New Amsterdam’s pilot episode lost some of the American Idol lead-in audience, but still won it’s time slot. Hopefully the viewers will come back on Thursday.
“'American Idol' Boosts 'New Amsterdam' Tuesday
As usual, FOX easily wins the night's ratings battle
FOX's new drama "New Amsterdam" reaped the benefits of a big lead-in Tuesday on its way to fairly solid ratings.
Per usual for a Tuesday, FOX dominated the night with a 12.1 rating/18 share. NBC came in second with a 5.9/9, drawing less than half the total viewers FOX did. CBS, 5.1/8, came in third, followed by ABC at 3.7/5. The CW put up a 1.6/2.
In the adults 18-49 demographic, FOX's 7.5 rating lapped the field. NBC's 3.3 was good for second. CBS, 2.1, finished third, followed by ABC, 1.8, and The CW, 1.1.
"American Idol" scored a 15.9/24 for FOX at 8 p.m. CBS' "NCIS" rerun earned a 7.0/10 to take second. "The Biggest Loser" delivered a 4.6/7 for NBC, topping the 3.3/5 "Just for Laughs" brought to ABC. An "America's Next Top Model" rerun on The CW trailed.
The premiere of immortal-cop drama "New Amsterdam," 8.3/12, lost a little more than half the "Idol" audience but kept FOX in the lead at 9 p.m. "The Biggest Loser" improved to 6.5/10 on NBC. "Big Brother," 4.3/7, put CBS in third, while ABC held steady with "According to Jim" and "Carpoolers." The CW's "One Tree Hill" drew a 2.0/3.
NBC claimed the top spot at 10 p.m. with a "Law & Order: SVU" rerun, 6.5/11. "Primetime" scored a 4.5/8 for ABC, beating out the 3.9/7 for "Jericho" on CBS. "
