FOX was easily on top on Wednesday night thanks to the final performance night of The X-Factor which was up four tenths in viewers but actually down a tenth in the demo from last week which is disappointing. Though the overall numbers aren't bad by any means, this show is nowhere near what FOX or Simon Cowell were hoping. It was followed by the final fall episode of I Hate My Teenage Daughter which was actually up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This is a minor positive sign as it heads to hiatus for now. We'll see how it does after American Idol later on this spring. Elsewhere, night three of NBC's Who' Still Standing was slightly above Monday's numbers and slightly below Tuesday's numbers. The annual Home for the Holidays special on CBS got very little attention.
