Marc's Note: Lost (10.2/15, 15.03 million, 6.2/15 adults) built from lead-in
Alias by a considerable 149 percent in the overnights, 9.56 million viewers,
and 244 percent among adults 18-49. Lost also increased in the second
half-hour (minus Fox's American Idol, of course), by 10 percent in the
overnights (9.7/14 to 10.7/15), 2.11 million viewers (13.98 to 16.09 million),
and 18 percent among adults 18-49 (5.7/14 to 6.7/16).

Invasion (5.1/8, 7.73 million, 3.0/8 adults) dipped from Lost by 50 percent
in the overnights, 7.30 million viewers, and 52 percent among adults 18-49.

TD's Note: Take that, Howie! FOX's "House" (14.9/21, 22.83 million)
beat the you-know out of NBC's "Deal or No Deal" (7.9/12, 12.28 million),
costing them a couple of million from last week (9.5/15, 15.09 million).
"House" also picked up an extra 5 million viewers from part one last night
(11.8/18, 16.71 million). Sweet.

Which goes to show that (1) it doesn't have to follow AI to be
successful, and (2) people were able to find it on a different
night. Very good news for "House"!
