Wednesday Final Nationals: NBC and Fox Split Leadership, ‘Madoff’ Miniseries on ABC Starts Decent

NBC’s “Women Crush Wednesday” crime drama lineup of “The Mysteries of Laura”, “Law & Order: SVU” and “Chicago P.D.” gave the network a total-viewer victory on the night with an average of a little over 7.12 million viewers.

Fox won in all key demos with the combo of “American Idol” and “Hell’s Kitchen.”

While older-skewing, Part 1 of the miniseries “Madoff” starring Richard Dreyfuss as the disgraced financial Ponzi schemer led ABC to be the most-watched network from 8-10pm. Part 1 of the 2-part movie held steady throughout its telecast, retaining all of its audience from its first half-hour to its final half-hour in adults 25-54 (1.7/5) and adults 18-49 (1.2/4).
