ABC's 'Lost' Finds 20 Million Fans

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Let's get "Lost" – that's what 20 million fans did Wednesday night as ABC served up its first fresh episode of the drama series since November 30. "Lost" pulled in 20.5 million viewers and an 8.4 rating/20 share in the adults 18-49 demographic at 9 p.m., according to preliminary esti-mates from Nielsen Media Research. At 8 p.m., a "Lost" clip special dubbed "Lost: Revelation" garnered a healthy 13.5 million viewers. ABC's momentum ebbed at 10 p.m., however, as rookie drama "Invasion" (9.6 million, 3.8/10) plunged from its "Lost" lead-in. CBS' "Criminal Minds" (15.8 million, 4.8/11) performed well against "Lost" in the 9 p.m. hour and posted a growth spurt from its 8:30 p.m. lead-in, comedy "Yes, Dear" (9.1 million, 3.2/8). At 10 p.m., it was a tighter race between CBS' "CSI: NY" (13.1 million, 4.3/11) and NBC's "Law & Order" (12.9 million, 4.0/10), which spiked from its 9 p.m. lead-in, "The Biggest Loser" (6.6 million, 2.7/6). Fox was barely on the radar with its repeat of "That '70s Show" (5.2 million, 2.5/7), a fresh episode of "Stacked" (4.4 million, 2.0/5) and 9 p.m.'s "Nanny 911" (5.3 million, 2.2/5). For the night, ABC led with an aver-age of 14.5 million viewers and 5.8/14 in adults 18-49. CBS was No. 2 with 12.7 million viewers and 4.1/10.
