Sitcom has topped talent show in total viewers and in the key 18-to-49-year-old segment
It’s way too early to say the king is in trouble, but American Idol has suffered a rare ratings wound.
For the last two Thursdays it has finished second in head-to-head competition with the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory.
Idol, which just launched its 11th season, has rarely lost a time slot to any other show, never mind a scripted show, over all those years.
In the 8-8:30 slot this Thursday, however, the preliminary Nielsen ratings show Big Bang with 15.96 million total viewers to 15.46 million for Idol.
More important, Big Bang also won the money demographic, 18-to-49-year-olds, with a 5.4 share against 4.8 for Idol.
Part of this reflects the fact that Big Bang is a powerhouse on its own, a show that has given CBS a major resurgence in comedies.
But the viewer numbers also reflect a big drop for Idol, which has averaged more than 20 million over the years.
There’s no need to hold bake sales for Idol yet. It commands the highest ad rates for a non-sports show in primetime. Historically, its ratings have risen as the season goes on and viewers get attached to contestants.
Idol also remains the primary reason Fox places at the top of the ratings for the second half of the TV season, and even this year’s lower numbers would put it in that position again.
Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly told TV critics earlier this month he expects Idol to slip in the ratings this year, if only because that happens to every TV show as years go by.
Still, the quirky geeks of Big Bang have now gone where no show has gone before.

World premiere starring Rob Lowe and Kaley Cuoco becomes cable’s most watched original movie among total viewers in two years
In its world premiere Saturday night, the Lifetime Original Movie Drew Peterson: Untouchable, starring Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee Rob Lowe and Kaley Cuoco, generated record viewership, averaging 5.8 million total viewers, making it cable’s most watched original movie in the demo in two years since Lifetime’s The Pregnancy Pact on January 23, 2010. Additionally, the 5.8 million total viewers represent a 241% jump versus Lifetime’s original movie premiere average in 2011.
Based on a true story about police officer Drew Peterson’s (Lowe) fall from grace after the mysterious disappearance of his fourth wife (Cuoco), the movie posted Lifetime’s best numbers for an original movie premiere among the key demos since the January 3, 2011, debut of The Craigslist Killer, including 2.5 million adults 25-54 viewers (+233% vs. the network’s original movie premiere average in 2011), 2.2 million adults 18-49 viewers (+210%), 1.8 million women 25-54 viewers (+215%) and 1.5 million women 18-49 viewers (+178%), according to Nielsen Research. Drew Peterson: Untouchable also generated a 4.25 Household rating (+223%).
In social media, the movie resonated on Twitter as well, ranking as the fourth most social telecast in primetime on Saturday night (Source: Bluefin Labs).
“This is an amazing way to start the year and is a direct result of our aggressive strategy to green light quality programming that showcases such A-List talent as Rob Lowe and Kaley Cuoco giving captivating performances,” said Nancy Dubuc, President and General Manager of Lifetime Networks.
Drew Peterson: Untouchable will air again this Saturday, January 28th, at 6:00pm ET/PT, immediately before the world premiere of the Lifetime original movie The Pregnancy Project.
In the film, charming Chicago-area officer Drew Peterson seemed virtually “untouchable” in more ways than one when it came to his womanizing ways, having been married three times before landing the eye and affection of Stacy Cales (Cuoco), a woman half his age. As Peterson’s relationship with Stacy blossoms, his relationship with third wife Kathleen Savio (Cara Buono) unravels in a bitter divorce — until Kathleen is inexplicably found dead in an empty bathtub. Soon after making Stacy his fourth wife and having their first child, Peterson’s jealousy and controlling ways begin to strain their marriage. Suddenly Stacy disappears, leaving her two children, and Peterson’s older children behind. Peterson insists that Stacy left him for another man but in the wake of her disappearance, new questions are raised about Kathleen’s death and her case is re-opened, drawing national media attention to Peterson and the strange cases of Kathleen and Stacy. Peterson seems to bask in the media attention, professing his innocence and announcing his engagement to yet another younger woman. But when authorities take a closer look at the circumstances surrounding both cases, a different kind of spotlight is placed on him as more questions arise. Are Kathleen’s death and Stacy’s still-unknown whereabouts just a tragic coincidence?
Produced by Sony Pictures Television, Drew Peterson: Untouchable was executive produced by Judith Verno and produced by Kyle Clark and Lina Wong. Mikael Salomon directed the movie from a script written by Teena Booth, based on the book, “Fatal Vows”, by Joseph Hosey.

Kaley Cuoco: Though Cuoco got her start at an early age, she briefly considered other career options. “I played tennis for a long time,” says Cuoco, who used to be a ranked amateur in the Southern California Tennis Assn. “When I was younger, I wanted to possibly play tennis or work with horses, but I landed on a hit show and stopped that dream. I was like, ‘I’ll take this. This is better.’ ” One of Cuoco’s first roles was playing young Claire Danes on My So-Called Life. “It gave me a taste of what it was like to be on a set, and I fell in love with it. I knew it was the life for me.”
