Uh yeah. That's one way to put it ... TheFutonCritic has another: nielsen ratings (fast national numbers for wednesday, april 29, 2009) PLEASE DO NOT COPY OR REPRODUCE THIS INFORMATION TO OTHER WEB SITES, FORUMS, NEWSGROUPS, ETC. Here are the highlights of the 15 ad-sustained programs that aired in primetime on the broadcast networks last night: An Obama-less FOX (households: 8.9/14, #1; adults 18-49: 5.0, #1) took top honors on Wednesday thanks to new episodes of "Lie to Me" (households: 4.8/8, #6, half-hour: 8.70%; adults 18-49: 2.4, #5, half-hour: 8.70%) and "American Idol" (households: 13.1/20, #1, half-hour: 7.14%; adults 18-49: 7.5, #1, half-hour: 8.33%). And according to Lisa the other networks had about 7 million viewers each. THANKS FOR THE NON STORY. > Includes something for the few of you watching "Better Off Ted"--a > mock Veridian ad mentioning Obama (the show has been particularly hurt > by the President's appearances). Ted airs a season finale next week ... I'm hoping it gets renewed more than I am Scrubs. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV .... Smart (TV) People on Ice!
