TV Show Ratings for Wednesday, 04/20/11 [finals]

On the FOX network, American Idol once again won the night and new sitcom Breaking In dropped. With the exception of Survivor, CBS was all in repeats. NBC was in repeats, except for Minute to Win It.

Most of the ABC sitcoms were down. When compared to its last Wednesday night episode, Cougar Town was up. The CW filled Shedding for the Wedding’s timeslot with a rerun of America’s Next Top Model. It didn’t do much worse but the original episode at 9pm dropped like a rock.
