Yep and Fox has renewed it for a second season.

Also, last week's fast national rating results were not available at press time.

Last week's and last night's Metered Market Ratings came from
The Programming Insider by Marc Berman:

-Yesterday's Losers (excluding repeats):

Marc's Notes: Retention for Unan1mous (Overnights: 7.4/11;
Viewers: 12.19 million; A18-49: 5.4/13) out of the second half
of American Idol (Overnights: 16.8/25; Viewers: 26.44 million;
A18-49: 10.7/27 at 9 p.m.) was just 44 percent in the overnights,
46 percent in total viewers and 50 percent among adults 18-49.
That's worthy of a loser's label, don't you think?

David...

Every single program dropped (or broke even) from last week? Gee, I wonder
if that might have something to do with the ratings during the second half
hour when these shows had to go up against AI? I'd love to see the half

1.6million for the repeat vs. 2 million for the original airing last night.
Does that mean that half the fans haven't figured out that the new episodes
are now on Tuesday? ;-)
