ANALYSIS:
Fox puts up negatives from top to bottom for the second time in three weeks, but Idol is still having a pretty decent cycle. CBS still has the most to crow about out of the big four, but their week was not as impressive as the Week 2 performance that saw just four negatives in fifteen comparisons. ABC starts with an OK Monday Dancing and then just gets ugly, even seeing the usually-improved 20/20 take a huge hit this week thanks to an incompatible Disney movie lead-in. No real changes for NBC, though L&O escapes the triple-negative-20 club and Earl continues to implode. CW's scripted stuff had a very healthy week.
