Arrow falls a little...
American Idol managed to stay even with its demographic rating last week, although it did lose some viewers. This was still enough for FOX to dominate last night, especially with ABC and CBS airing mostly reruns. CBS' Super Bowl's Greatest Commercials was up from recent airings, NBC had decent numbers from Law & Order: SVU and Chicago Fire. The CW's Arrow was down some, but Supernatural improved.
FOX won with 15.6 million viewers and a 9.1 rating/14 share in households in primetime. It was followed by CBS (8.1 million, 5.2/8), NBC (5.6 million, 3.8/6), ABC (4.8 million, 3.0/5) and The CW (2.6 million, 1.6/2).
In the adults 18-49 demographic, FOX won a 5.4 rating, followed by CBS (1.8), NBC (1.6), ABC (1.5) and The CW (0.9).
