NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – Fox's "American Idol" results installment was the most-watched show in primetime Wednesday, while ABC's "Lost" posted its lowest rating for an original episode this season, according to preliminary ratings estimates from Nielsen Media Research. The half-hour "Idol" averaged 25.4 million viewers and a 10.5 rating/26 share in the adults 18-49 demographic. The reality show "Unan1mous" followed at 9:30 p.m. with 13.7 million viewers and a 6.1/15 in adults 18-49, boosting Fox to the nightly win. "Lost" came in with 15.7 million viewers and a 6.6/16 at 9 p.m. It was not only the lowest-rated original show of the season but also down 28% from its season average. At 10 p.m., none of the Big Three's shows could break out. ABC's "Evidence," "Law & Order" and a repeat of "CSI: NY" each averaged 3.5/9 in the demo although "CSI: NY" eked out a win among total viewers with 11.2 million pairs of eyeballs. At 8 p.m., it was "Deal or No Deal." NBC's Howie Mandel-hosted game show averaged 13.8 million viewers and a 4.2/12 in the demo. Fox's "Bones" was second with 9.9 million viewers and a 3.6/11 to take a solid second place while CBS's "The Amazing Race" averaged 8.1 million viewers and a 3.0/9.Do these ratings count all the people who record these shows using TiVO or their DVR? I watch all the LOST episodes, but I don't think I have watched a single one during its original time slot.
