In the latest television ratings, both episodes of American Idol (Fox, 8pm) last week had their smallest audiences since joining Fox's regular schedule more than a decade ago, the Nielsen company said.

Meanwhile, the Bible is hot, while aspiring pop stars are not.

The History network's first installment of the miniseries The Bible was seen by 13.1 million people Sunday.

The series, produced by the husband-and-wife team of Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, will air in four more installments concluding March 31, Easter Sunday.
