ABC wipes out competition


July 01, 2008 The premiere of ABC's "Wipeout" was the highest-rated show last week, becoming the network's first series to debut in the weekly top spot since 2004's "Desperate Housewives." The obstacle-course competition also gave a strong lead-in for the premiere of "I Survived a Japanese Game Show" (8 million, 3.1/9). "Japanese Game Show" ranked seventh for the week and tied NBC's "America's Got Talent" (11.7 million, 3.1/9) for second place at 9 p.m., behind Fox's penultimate episode of "Hell's Kitchen" (7.8 million, 3./6/10).
