Huh, those numbers for CM and CSI:NY are a lot lower than the original numbers. That makes the overall Super Bowl effect look even worse, and Lost look slightly closer in its timeslot.

Lost also destroyed CSI: NY in the important demos. People who are saying it's doing poorly in the ratings really need to hush.

Not to mention it's in the Top 10 for the week still. It's goin' noooooooowhere. Same for Survivor, which remains the only non-AI reality hit.

I cant help comment about the part where "Lost" destroyed CSI:Miami when the average rating for that specific demograph isnt all that high to begin with 6.4 vs CSI:NY 5.8 isnt all that triumph to begin with yet the other 9 million viewers above the demographic range are neglected. So in the end CSI NY still dominates where Lost barely beat CSI NY in the 18-35 bracket. Besides us backtalkers if you are fingerpointing at me havent really commented so much on Lost's ratings for more than a few months now so you cant hardly tell us to hush

You compared Lost's A18-49 to CSI: Miami, not CSI: NY, smarty.



Lost A18-49: 6.4/15 (#8)
CSI NY A18-49: 4.5/11 (#21)

Whoops.

Contrary to the overnights last week, Heroes actually raked in more viewers than Lost.

Lost should stay in the top 10 for 18-49 for the rest of the season.

Why is Ugly Betty so low in the 18-49's. Hmm.

Lost should just go away. When derivative shows like CSI are beating what's supposed to be "original that's not good. Lost is a dull show (like CSI). House is far better than Lost.

Because The Office is there to take away from it.
