Solid night for NICS LA, having more total viewers in Lost! And interesting to see that all 4 shows can perform well in the demos at the same time–and they say broadcast is dead!
“Lost” won the final two hours of the night, but every network was competitive. “Loser” averaged a 3.7 for its episode, Fox’s “Kitchen Nightmares” managed a 3.9 at 9, and CBS’s “NCIS: Los Angeles” posted a 3.6. It’s rare these days that four competing shows draw above a 3.5 in the same hour.
ABC took the lead at 9 p.m. with a 5.7 for the first hour of “Lost,” while Fox slipped to second with a 3.9 for “Nightmares.” NBC was third with a 3.7 for the first half of a new “Loser,” CBS fourth with a 3.6 for “NCIS: Los Angeles,” Univision fifth with a 2.0 for “Sortilegio” and CW sixth with a 0.2 for a repeat of “Melrose Place.”
