Here are Mr. Nielson’s ratings for the week of Feb. 9-15. American Idol is still the powerhouse, raking in over 24 million viewers, two nights in a row. CBS still dominates the “Top Twenty” with 12 shows on the list. NBC’s special Dateline was it’s only show to make it. No sign of either Lie To Me(FOX) or LOST(ABC) this week. The fact that American Idol is moving to the 9pm timeslot next Wednesday, is not a threat to LOST, as reported in the media. There is no competition at all. Complete list after the jump…
