You sort of wanted the Law & Order and 24 finales to come from behind and apply a Nielsen piledriver to Dancing with the Stars , but they couldn’t even TKO The Bachelorette . L&O and 24 brought in 7.6 million and 9.3 million viewers, respectively, while DWTS and The Bachelorette premiere garnered 19.1 million and 9.9 million. Yep, with wins in all key demos , too. If Sam Waterston had busted into a frisky quickstep while S. Epatha Merkeson eased into the splits, they’d have had a chance. As such, no dice. Dun-dun . [ Zap2It ]

Sci-fi swan song beats ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ but fails to match the success of other hyped-up series closers By Josh Wigler Fans watch ‘Lost’ Finale Series in Times Square Photo: Getty Images On “Lost,” there’s a sequence of numbers that must be avoided at all costs: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42. But those numbers weren’t the most important digits when it came to Sunday night’s series finale — that all-important figure is closer to 13.5 million, the number of viewers who tuned in to the episode, appropriately titled “The End.” The pre-finale clip show, “Lost: The Final Journey,” garnered 9.8 million viewers, while the post-show edition of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” featuring interviews with castmembers and comedic alternate endings, attracted 3.4 million viewers. Although the 13.5 million fans who watched the finale made up a strong enough audience to propel “Lost” to its best-rated episode in two years and well past the season finale of NBC’s “The Celebrity Apprentice,” it still wasn’t a fantastic result, given the numbers the series was used to at its peak. During the show’s first season, “Lost” averaged nearly 16 million viewers and subsequently declined to 11 million during season five. The pilot episode of “Lost” yielded a massive 18.6 million viewers. Additionally, the “Lost” finale fell short in comparison to other similarly hyped series finales including “M.A.S.H.” (121.6 million), “Seinfeld” (76.3 million) and “Friends” (52.5 million), while barely edging out the finales for HBO’s cable offerings “The Sopranos” (11.9 million) and “Sex and the City” (10.6 million). Despite a relatively lackluster viewership, the series finale performed rather admirably, given that the show’s audience dwindled so dramatically over the course of its run, a fact that has been blamed on an increasingly complicated continuity and tough-to-crack story line. Why do you think the “Lost” audience dwindled over its six-season run? Let us know in the comments!

According to the Los Angeles Times, ABC is declaring a triumph in the ratings for the last two weeks for “Dancing with the Stars” over Fox’s “American Idol” which grabbed a higher average of about 23.6 million viewers for the past two weeks compared to Tuesday total for American Idol which only drew 23 million. On the other hand, the Monday night episode of “Dancing with the Stars” drew 23 million viewers while “American Idol” only scored 21.3 million viewers. Both shows have made some unexpected changes just to keep its high rating. Dancing with the Stars Beats American Idol in the Ratings is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading
Jay beats ‘Late Show With David Letterman’ in his first week back, but the gap narrows in the second week. By Josh Wigler Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show” Photo: NBC Despite the strong showing of fan support for freshly ousted “Tonight Show” host Conan O’Brien, it appears that many late-night television viewers have settled their personal differences with NBC and Jay Leno. According to The Associated Press, Leno averaged 5.6 million viewers in his first week back as the host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” easily outmatching the 3.66 million that tuned in for CBS’ “The Late Show With David Letterman.” Letterman, who consistently beat O’Brien in ratings throughout the recently departed host’s run on “The Tonight Show,” famously finished in second place next to Leno before he vacated the talk-show chair for his failed prime-time experiment, “The Jay Leno Show.” Additionally, Leno’s return to late night proved beneficial to “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.” Entertainment Weekly reports that the “Saturday Night Live” castmember-turned-host beat out CBS’ “The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson” by a margin of 147,000 viewers. While Leno’s first week marked a decisive win for NBC over CBS, his second week back wasn’t quite as victorious. From Monday through Thursday of this week, Leno averaged 4.3 million viewers against Letterman’s 4 million, depicting a much closer race between the late-night hosts than Leno’s first week back behind the desk seemed to indicate. Leno returned to “The Tonight Show” last week following a widely publicized dispute between NBC and Conan O’Brien. In his first show following his return to the 11:35 p.m. time slot, Leno joked that he would hold on to the “Tonight Show” hosting gig “at least for a while.” Since his departure from “The Tonight Show,” O’Brien — who is contractually prohibited from making television appearances until September 2010 — has kept his presence intact by joining Twitter and announcing a national comedy tour that will take place from April 12 through June. Have you been tuning in to Jay’s “Tonight Show” return? Do you miss Conan? Let us know!
