ABC remained on a reality ratings roll Wednesday, with newcomer The Next Best Thing again winning its time slot while the return of American Inventor also popped and crackled in the D-FW viewing area.
Next Best Thing, a $100 grand search for the country's best celebrity impressionist, lured 161,840 homes and also ruled from 7 to 8 p.m. among advertiser-coveted 18-to-49-year-olds. Inventor held most of the overall audience (152,320 homes) and did a bit better than Next Best Thing with 18-to-49-year-olds.
Both shows handily beat Fox's runnerup So You Think You Can Dance, which had a two-hour edition.
ABC's new serial drama Traveler then remained on a bad ratings trip. It placed third in both homes and with 18-to-49-year-olds, where it was beaten by CBS' CSI: NY repeat and Fox4's 9 p.m. local newscast.
The second episode of The CW's new Hidden Palms teen drama remained in hiding with a measly 21,420 homes from 7 to 8 p.m. It bombed even worse with the network's 18-to-34-year-old target audience, drawing just 3,213 of 'em.
Meanwhile, NBC5's 10 p.m. newscasts took another hockey puck in the neck, but it'll be the last one for a while.
The Peacock's telecast of Anaheim's closeout of Ottawa in the Stanley Cup Finals drew a piddling 24,990 homes in prime-time. Given a puddle-sized lead-in audience, NBC5's crime-paced 10 p.m. presentation finished fifth in total homes and third among 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
Belo8 finished first across-the-board at 10 p.m. and again did likewise at 5 and 6 p.m.
Fox4 had twin wins at 6 a.m., with the 7 to 9 a.m. portion of its Good Day also beating the three network morning shows among 25-to-54-year-olds.
