Primetime Ratings, Wednesday, January 25, 2012

The night was full of shockers. With the farewell of Willows (Marg Helenberger) on “CSI”, and the successful preview of Fox’s hopeful hit “Touch”, it was a night of high ratings. American Idol continues to take the night of course with 19.5 Million, but with 11.8 Million going to Touch, it was a good night for TV. As usual, the CW is the outcast in the ratings area.  The ratings of Wednesday, January 25, 2012 are:

There you have it. Whereas we all are going to miss Willows on CSI, we win with a new show that will be out in March. When all else fails, we can always laugh at Magic Cyclops and the crazy get-up that he had on at the American Idol auditions in Colorado, right? What do you think? Are the ratings correct?
