Lost’s 5.6 adults 18-49 rating from 9-11pm was up 10% from last year’s 5.1 rating. (although ABC is reporting last year’s premiere at a 5.0 rating, which would make the increase 12%) That’s quite an accomplishment in today’s broadcast television environment and bodes well for this season’s results. It was also ABC’s best two hour ratings for a series since 11/27/07.

ABC’s “V” premiere was Tuesday’s highest-rated program in the adult demo, cracking usual leader CBS’ drama-series choke-hold on the evening.

“V” was seen by 13.9 million viewers and had a 5.0 preliminary rating among adults 18-49.

That’s the biggest scripted series premiere rating for a freshman show this fall. And particularly impressive for a show that’s self-starting ABC’s lineup (it’s the highest-rated 8 p.m. drama series debut since … ABC’s “Lost,” actually). Compared to the “Shark Tank” average in the time period, “V” was up a rather dizzying 213%.

“V” bested tough competition from “NCIS” (19.4 million, 4.2), which nonetheless ranked as the evening’s most-watched show. The alien invasion drama gained 4% from its first half hour to its second.

What did you think of the first episode of ‘V’? Did it live up to your expectations?

From TVbythenumbers.com:

TV watching in general was up a bit from last Wednesday.  Lost bounced (at least a little) off its series lows last week to a 3.9 in the demo.  The second installment of The Unusualsdropped from last week’s premiere of a 2.1 rating down to a 1.9 rating.

From TVbythenumbers.com:

Lost pulled a record low for new episodes, at least in the 18-49 demographic where it entered the sub-4.0 range with a 3.7/9 and only 8.29 million viewers.   This can’t be chalked up to being hit harder by Idol than last week, because Idol was down from last week too.  And it can’t really be chalked up to the 8pm comedy block lead-in because that was pretty much on par with last week (even though the 18-49 numbers for both Scrubs and Better Off Ted were likely series lows for original airings).

From TVbythenumbers.com:

Over on ABC, Scrubs (1.9/6) outperformed Better Off Ted (1.8/5) and Lost (4.2/10) came in second to American Idol (8.1/20) at 9pm.  Although Lost went head-to-head with American Idol, it was the second most-watched program with adults 18-49 for the night.

TVbythenumbers.com reports:

The 9pm hour had a lot of viewing between Idol, Criminal Minds (14 million and a 3.4 adults 18-49 rating) and Lost.  Lost dipped below 9 million (4.0 adults 18-49 rating) and posted another series low, but it’s nothing to worry about since it will have no impact on its renewal prospects for next year.
