ABC’s American Idol scored a 1.0 in the adults 18-49 demographic and netted 6.51 million viewers on Sunday night, down a tenth from last week’s Season 19 premiere but enough to top primetime in the demo. The network also aired an episode of America’s Funniest Home Videos (0.8, 5.18M), which climbed two tenths in the demo, and The Rookie (0.5, 3.92M), which dipped. ABC won the night overall in the 18-49 demo. CBS won the night overall in viewers with an all-originals lineup led by 60 Minutes (0.7, 9.30M), which held steady in the demo and earned the night’s largest audience. The Equalizer (0.7, 7.88) took a two-tenths hit from last week’s strong time-slot premiere, while NCIS: Los Angeles (0.6, 5.74M) also dipped. NCIS: New Orleans (0.5, 4.82M) held steady. After Fox ’s Sunday night lineup was derailed last week due to NASCAR weather delays, things were back on track starting with the debut of Cherries Wild (0.2, 698,000).

Walt Disney Co plans to close at least 60 Disney retail stores in North America this year, representing about 20% of its worldwide total, the company said today. The move will see the entertainment conglomerate focus more on digital shopping platforms. Disney said it is also looking at cutting back on its European stores, but added that stores in Japan and China will not be shuttered. Also unaffected will be Disney stores in theme parks and through vendor partners like Target. There are approximately 300 Disney stores in the worldwide market.

‘QAnon Shaman’ Angers Judge For Appearing on ’60 Minutes’
Getty The judge in the "QAnon Shaman" case is scratching his head over decisions made by the infamous defendant ... in particular, his decision to do a LONG interview with "60 Minutes+." The accused insurrectionist, whose real name is Jacob Chansley , was called on the carpet by the judge for doing the jailhouse interview, which appeared on "60 Minutes+." Chansley's lawyer told the judge yes, they did arrange for the interview, but felt everything was kosher. Apparently, the judge didn't see it that way. Chansley, who says he's been in solitary since being arrested, said he was never violent inside the Capitol . He says his participation was "not an attack on this country" ... an interesting argument, given the images of him in the Senate Chamber.

Chansley's been behind bars since … [Read more...] about ‘QAnon Shaman’ Angers Judge For Appearing on ’60 Minutes’
