ABC saw solid flow among young adults throughout its entire line-up, opposite stiff competition on Tuesday night which included NBC's special Fear Factor from 8-9pm and the series debut of A.U.S.A at 9:30pm on NBC, as well as another edition of American Idol on Fox. 8 Simple Rules drew its largest audience in 3 weeks and posted its second highest Teen number ever.

8 Simple Rules drew a 7.5/11 despite heavy competition from Fox, CBS and even NBC, for third place in the half-hour behind Fox and CBS. It drew a 3.9/10 for viewers 18-49 in the half hour behind Fox and NBC. Viewers 18-49 should be better next week as NBC will not air Fear Factor again.
