ABC/MARIO PEREZAnother Lost Conundrum: If the show keeps going back in time, then why don't its ratings get bigger? Last night's show was down from its season average—9.1 million viewers, per preliminary Nielsen estimates, versus 10.2 million.
American Idol Watch: With Irish people apparently recovered from St. Patrick's Day, Idol was up from Tuesday—23.1 million versus 21.5 million. But the Alexis Grace-booting results show was down about 2.5 million from last week.
Scrubs Lives: In its Wednesday debut, the comedy ran second in its time slot among 18-49-year-olds and drew its biggest (relative) audience since January: 5.8 million.
Etc.: America's Next Top Model (3.6 million) delivered for the CW among women 18-34; Lie to Me (10 million) slipped but won its time slot; the premiere of Better Off Ted (5.6 million) seemingly impressed only ABC; and Criminal Minds (13.5 million) scored Wednesday's biggest non-Idol audience.
