Episode 5.09 - Namaste - Ratings

Thanks to B3RT4 for the heads up.

Lie To Me was down about 10% in adults 18-49 versus last week (3.1 rating vs 3.4 last week), but is still holding up well on its own and won the hour. Lost lost steam from its last new episode two weeks ago when it had a 4.9 rating in adults 18-49. But two week ago it didn’t compete against Idol, and ran against a repeat of Life. Still last night’s 4.2 adults 18-49 rating for Lost was two-tenths lower than prior nights when Lost had run up against Idol and a slate of new programming. It was Lost’s lowest 9pm rating ever (excluding clip shows).=

Here is ABC's spin on the numbers.

"Lost" (9:00-10:00 p.m.)
Surging from its lead-in opposite Fox's "American Idol" and gaining audience throughout its broadcast, "Lost" dominated its drama competition in the 9 o'clock hour among Adults 18-49. In its time period, ABC's "Lost" (4.2/10) defeated CBS' "Criminal Minds" by 31% (3.2/8) and NBC's "Life" by 180% (1.5/4).

* ABC's "Lost" tallied its 8th original telecast as Wednesday's No. 1 scripted TV show in Adults 18-49. The ABC drama was also the evening's highest-rated scripted show in the other two key Adult demos: Adults 18-34 (4.0/11) and Adults 25-54 (4.5/10).
