The penultimate editions of the reality shows "America's Got Talent" on NBC and "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox posted winning numbers Wednesday night. A 90-minute edition of "Talent" averaged a 6.3 rating and a 10 share between 9:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., while "Dance" registered a 6.9/11 from 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The two networks also scored strongly in the earlier hours, with a 90-minute "Last Comic Standing", which began at 8:00 p.m., posting a 5.3/9 for NBC. Fox, meanwhile, nabbed an identical 5.3/9 for a repeat of "House" at 8:00 p.m. At CBS, "Rock Star: Supernova" drew a 4.0/7 at 8:00 p.m., placing third. At 9:00 p.m., a repeat of "Criminal Minds" lifted CBS to a 6.0/9, while a repeat of "CSI:NY" pushed the network to a 6.5/11 in the 10:00 p.m. hour. ABC ran back-to-back episodes of "Primetime: Medical Mysteries," which drew bigger numbers than the several new programs that it ran earlier in the summer. The first half at 9:00 p.m. recorded a 4.1/7, while the second half at 10:00 p.m. wound up with a 5.1/9. Source: IMDB.com |
