Idol Soars, Lost Sinks

Hey, we love Lost. But keeping track of who, what, where, and when has obviously become too much like work for some viewers. The one time ratings-giant is now number 3 in its time period, behind American Idol and Criminal Minds.

Meanwhile, American Idol continues to fly high, giving Fox 24.6 million viewers on Wednesday which was more than twice that of runner-up CBS with the aforementioned Criminal Minds and The New Adventures of Old Christine.

Another one-time phenomenon, NBC's Heroes, continues to struggle in fourth place on Mondays, behind Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory on CBS, The Bachelor on ABC, and 24 on Fox.
