Big doings on Tuesday night, with Fox's American Idol and ABC's Dancing with the Stars airing back-to-back for the first of many weeks and a new episode of House thrown in, too.
Idol as usual decimated everything in its path, including a one-hour Dancing recap before the show's first vote-off. But how did Dancing do in direct competition with House? And how did the ratings break down in various age groups? Let's zoom in.
Total Homes
Idol performance show -- 330,820
Dancing results show -- 302,260
House -- 240,380
18-to-49-Year-Old Men
Idol -- 75,360
Dancing -- 32,970
House -- 51,810
18-to-49-Year-Old Women
Idol -- 146,544
Dancing -- 100,749
House -- 102,275
18-to-34-Year-Olds
Idol -- 101,210
Dancing -- 53,014
House -- 62, 654
55-Years-and-Older
Idol -- 188,800
Dancing -- 243,200
House -- 160,000
Here's another stat. From 8 to 9 p.m. in D-FW, more 18-to-49-year-old men (58,090) watched the Dallas Mavericks-Charlotte Bobcats on Fox Sports Southwest than watched either Dancing or House. No, that's not a misprint.
At 9 p.m., the premiere of ABC's very lame Great American Dream Vote dropped more than half of Dancing's audience and ran third in its time slot. The Donny Osmond-hosted gagger returns at 7 p.m. Wednesday (March 28), with Fort Worth's prematurely balding Russ Jowell, 22, vying for a $25,000 hair transplant and other prizes.
"It would be a crowning achievement for me," he told a sympathetic studio audience Tuesday night. Har dee hoo hah.
In the local news derby, NBC5 won at 10 p.m. in both homes and with 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming. Fox4 countered with twin wins at 6 a.m. The station's Good Day also again beat all the network morning shows from 7 to 9 a.m.
As usual, Belo8 swept the 5 and 6 p.m. newscasts in both ratings measurements.
