million viewers

Kiefer Sutherland seems to have the magic "Touch." A preview episode of his new Fox show kicked off to solid ratings Wednesday night (11.9 million viewers), USA Today reports, even though the official premiere isn't until March 19.

The audience for American Idol dropped by some 18 percent to 21.6 million viewers when the TV singing contest returned for its 11th season.

AMC network says "The Walking Dead" began its second season with a vengeance, delivering 7.3 million viewers for Sunday's premiere telecast.

NBC has yanked "The Paul Reiser Show" after just two little-watched airings. The comedy, which attempted a TV comeback for the former star of "Mad About You," attracted a dismal 3.4 million viewers to its premiere.

American Idol's ratings took a nosedive on Thursday dropping 21% from its Wednesday's night show, but still winning the night easily with 22 million viewers.

CNN says "Piers Morgan Tonight" drew nearly 2.1 million viewers to its premiere Monday night.

More than 8 million viewers watched Snooki and company return to "Jersey Shore." The third season premiere of the MTV reality TV series was the most watched series telecast in the cable network's history, MTV announced Friday.

Viewers wanting to spend the holidays with a dysfunctional family other than their own helped secure "Little Fockers" the top spot.

But even a significant boost on Christmas Day couldn't keep the comedy from under-performing, pulling in $34 million over the weekend and taking its five-day cume up to $48 million.

Not terrible numbers by any means, but definitely not as high as Universal was hoping.

The Walking Dead is on a serious winning streak. This past Sunday AMC aired the show's first season finale and viewers tuned in in droves.

America has gone nuts for Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, with over five and a half million viewers tuning in each week to watch her squeal, get drunk and hook-up in the second season of MTV’s smash hit, “Jersey Shore.”
