Despite a slow decline since its season debut, Lost saw a spark of life last night. Yesterday’s episode saw the return of the Oceanic 6…and the viewers. But, as we know, there isn’t anything Jack or Ben can do to topple American Idol. FOX easily won both categories this Wednesday.

CW Announces Changes for Reaper, 90210, Privileged
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, The CW,
Did American Idol‘s return have you choosing between Hollywood and Beverly Hills? If so, CW might have just thrown you a bone.
Come March 3rd, Tuesdays will look slightly different. On that night, Reaper - originally scheduled to debut on St. Patrick’s Day - will have its midseason premiere. Its early return will mean Privileged‘s season finale will come sooner that later. (The freshman series will end its first run on February 24.)
But Reaper won’t just be sliding into Privileged‘s old 9:00 time slot. That position will now belong to 90210. It’s hoped the teen drama’s new home will allow it to be free of Idol‘s shadow.
If you’re having trouble keeping up with all the programming changes, make sure to check out TV Envy’s Midseason Schedule here.
