The return of ABC’s “Lost” was no match in the ratings for Fox’s “American Idol” on Wednesday. The singing competition dominated the night with 25.4 million viewers at 8 p.m., according to Nielsen’s estimates, giving Fox an easy victory but only a minor boost at 9 p.m. for the debut of “Lie to Me” (13.2 million). That new drama, with Tim Roth, did manage to edge past “Lost” to lead its time slot among viewers 18 to 49. For the night, ABC ranked second in that age group but third in total viewers behind CBS, which led from 9 to 11 with “Criminal Minds” (13.9 million) and “CSI: NY” (11.8 million). After a retrospective clip show of “Lost” at 8 (8.5 million), the show’s two-hour fifth-season premiere averaged 11.4 million viewers, a decline of nearly 5 million from a year ago. NBC finished in fourth place.
