* The final season premiere of “Lost” was up from the series’ fifth season premiere. Even the 8 p.m. “Lost” clip special hit an eye-opening 4.1, in direct competition with “American Idol.”

* “Biggest Loser,” which slid to a special 9 p.m. start to weaken “Lost” and get out of the way of “Idol,” fell slightly, as did CBS’ “NCIS LA.”

* CBS’ “The Good Wife” matched its all-time low at 10 p.m. opposite the dual onslaught of “Lost” and “Loser.” (Look for it to return to first place against “Forgotten” and the penultimate “Jay Leno Show” next Tuesday.

* Also hit hard at 10 p.m. was USA’s “White Collar,” which matched its all-time low as well.

* Fox’s “Kitchen Nightmares,” which pulled a 1.4 on Friday, hit a 3.8 Tuesday. Which makes one wonder (again) what might have happened if Fox ran “Dollhouse” after “Idol” even once early in its run.

* In any case, “Kitchen” was dramatically higher than the 3.1 a new episode of “Human Target” hit in the post-“Idol” slot last Tuesday -- despite having to compete with the “Lost” premiere!

* Spike’s “Blue Mountain State” somehow garnered an uptick at 10 p.m., the only cable original to do so Tuesday night.
