American Idol ratings are down 10% from last week, via TVByTheNumbers:
FOX won the night, but American Idol was down ~10% in adults 18-49 from last week and dropped below 19 million viewers. The special premiere of summer show Good Guys drew a 1.5 rating with adults 18-49 — tied with a repeat of Minute To Win It on NBC, and only 0.1 better than a repeat of Lie To Me in the time slot last week.
9:00 – American Idol 18.46 Million, 5.9/16 Adults 18-49.
At this point of the season, the numbers should be increasing, not decreasing. Really bad.
ETA: The vote totals are way down too: 47 million last night vs. 88 million last year.
