Im not sure of the exact rating but 24 bounced back the following week.

Unfortunately the same cant be said for Lost. Apparently the February 14th episode was their lowest rated episode since the show debuted.

Survivor is still on the air? Some of these shows I haven't even heard of. Apart from that, I am simultaneously shocked, saddened, and not surprised by the mountain of crap that dominate this list.

I really hope the fact that Lost is comfortably in the Top 20 means that the "OMG Lost is DOOMED!" crowd shuts up. happy

I thought "'Til Death" was unsuccessful?

Not now that it has a post-Idol timeslot. It honestly isn't funny. I watched five minutes and had to change the channel because it was painstakingly unfunny and cheesy.

Oh yea, Fox could air a half hour of paint drying after Idol and it'd probably round up at least 10 million viewiers.

And according to the latest EW, 30 Rock is ranked 119th for the season in total viewers (averaging 5.8 million viewers a week) yet amazingly received an early second season pick-up.

Oh, I get it.

"'Til Death" sounded a lot like "Married, With Children" to me.

Again, nice to see Lost comfortably in the top 20. And actually, ratings are up slightly, the week that was skipped Lost had slipped below 12 million. happy

Yea, I dont think its a coincidence that the ratings have gone up as the quality of the episodes has been markedly improved since it returned in February.
