I was bracing myself for American Idol to dip below 2.o this week, a victim of the Daily Savings Time effect, but it actually rose. Oh look. It beat Survivor! It wasn’t up against The Voice, this week, which helped, I’m sure. The unprecedented streak of week to week ratings rises for Empire is over, sadly. But it was fun while it lasted! I was hoping it would crack 6.0, but 5.6 is a tremendous number in these days of declining network ratings.
ETA: Both Empire and Idol rose a tenth in the final ratings report.

On FOX, American Idol earned a 2.3, up from last week’s 2.1 adults 18-49 rating. Empire earned a 5.6, down two tenths from last week’s massive series high 5.8 adults 18-49 rating, ending its five-week ratings growth streak (it dipped once week to week back in January). On CBS, Survivor scored a 2.2, down a tenth from last week’s 2.3 adults 18-49 rating.
