American Idol Ratings Fall Vs Last Week

American Idol dipped a full half point vs last week’s Thursday episode. It also fell against Wednesday night’s 2.9 rating. It’s too bad, because last night’s episode was excellent. I can’t imagine the ratings improving as the Thursday night edition cuts back to 1 hour next week.

Idol did manage to win the night overall–but not against a repeat of The Big Bang Theory, or Mom in their respective half hours.
