Fox dominated the ratings on Tuesday, thanks to two popular shows, âAmerican Idolâ at 8 p.m. and âHouseâ at 9. Those shows delivered 28.1 million and 22.5 million viewers, Nielsen estimated. A repeat of CBSâs âNCISâ at 8 attracted the nightâs third-largest audience (11.7 million). CBSâs all-rerun lineup tied NBC for runner-up on the night, but NBC fared better among adults 18 to 49 with âThe Biggest Loserâ at 8 (8.3 million) followed by âLaw & Order: Special Victims Unitâ at 10 (9.4 million). ABC finished fourth overall. On Monday President Bushâs final State of the Union address attracted the smallest audience of his two terms, 37.5 million viewers. That tally was 8 million fewer than a year ago, but 6 million more than President Clintonâs last State of the Union address in 2000. The speech was broadcast live at 9 p.m. on a total of nine network and cable channels.

The Grammy Awards achieved Sunday nightâs top ratings despite falling almost two million viewers short of the showâs audience a year ago. According to Nielsenâs estimates, 18.2 million tuned in to CBSâs broadcast of âThe 50th Annual Grammy Awards,â down from 20.1 million a year ago. Although the awards show outpaced all other programming for the night among adults 18 to 49, the preliminary overnight numbers suggest that it may be the lowest-rated Grammy show in more than a decade. CBS finished No. 1 for the night over all, leading the 7 oâclock hour before the awards show with â60 Minutesâ (13 million). ABC ranked second for the night, thanks to a two-hour âExtreme Makeover: Home Editionâ at 8 (15.8 million), followed by âBrothers & Sistersâ at 10 (8.6 million). Fox was third with coverage of the National Football Leagueâs Pro Bowl, followed by a lineup of comedy repeats and a new episode of âKing of the Hillâ at 8:30 (6.1 million). NBC finished fourth with reruns of âAmerican Gladiatorsâ at 7 (3.6 million) and 8 (3.7 million), followed by a two-hour special â100 Most Outrageous Momentsâ (8.2 million).

Generally, Bad Language is against awards shows. The TelePrompTer puffery and please-buy/see-my-latest-CD/DVD appearances are nauseating at best. But it's our job to report on all things pop culture. So we watch. And we watch. And we fall asleep. Then we wake up and watch again.
