Fox won Wednesday night easily, this time thanks to the powerhouse combination of Bones (up 17 percent from last week) and the American Idol results show. The second episode of ABC's new quirky-cop series The Unusuals
lost only 8 percent of last week's debut audience -- not bad! (A 10-15
percent drop is considered normal.) Meanwhile, ABC's new comedy Better Off Ted, which had dipped a little last week, upped its total viewership by 8 percent. Scrubs' viewership was up from last week, too, by 15 percent.
