At 9 p.m., CBS’ Criminal Minds remains the success story of the season, with a first-place finish in the overnights (11.6/17) and total viewers (16.74 million), and a competitive second-place 4.9/12 among adults 18-49. Although Lost won the hour in the demo with a 6.6/16, I don’t think anyone (CBS included) expected Criminal Minds to have any kind of an advantage this season. Lost was second in the overnights (11.1/16) and total viewers (16.12 million). Although I will still say that even a disappointing episode of Lost is better than most dramas, maybe the show would benefit if it spent an entire episode without a flashback, giving it more time to explain what the heck is going on. Truthfully, I am lost. Aren’t you?

ABC must be nervous especially with the show going on hiatus from the start of November sweeps to the start of February sweeps? Seriously as I watched Jericho last night (absolutely amazing episode) I thought to myself this show could take LOST’s audience during the hiatus.
