American Idol Ratings Slip a Bit

American Idol, down 1/10th from last week, tied with Grey’s Anatomy in the demo–more or less. Idol beat Grey’s in the 8:30-9 pm half hour and also garnered more viewers overall. A repeat of Big Bang came close to Idol and Grey’s in the demo, but had the most viewers in the time slot overall.
