Overnight TV Ratings -- "Idol" Rocks The "House"

"American Idol" and "House" were massive last night, with "House" proving it deserves the audience Idol delivers by holding on to so much of them. Both shows drew more viewers than all the other major networks combined. Meanwhile, the creatively floundering "Gilmore Girls" is down by at least 20% from last year, but CW is still looking to keep it going for another year because nothing is working for them.
