'Idol' has huge premiere
Mark Lacter • January 17 2007 11:56 AM

We're talking more than 37 million viewers and a 36 share in the 18-49 bracket - up from last year's opening show, which wasn't so bad either (35.5 million, 34 share). THR says it might have been the biggest premiere in the 20-year-history of Fox Broadcasting. None of the other network shows came close Tuesday night.
