V 2009

At long last, V finally airs tonight, and I will re-watch at least the first 9.5 minutes just to see the opening on the big screen in high definition.  I liked the pilot, but I'm not expecting much from the next few episodes that follow based on the reported turmoil with show production.

The good news for V is that ABC did give it a bit of promotion.  We weren't pelted with it for 3 months like we were with Flash Forward, but I saw lots of promos for it on ABC and ESPN.  More good news, there's no World Series game up against it or NFL football.  It does face off against the beat that is Leroy Jethro Gibbs NCIS as well as The Biggest Loser and So You Think You Can Dance, but,I suppose it could've been worse.

I always seem to predict too conservatively, and this might not be an exception. With that caveat, my guess is 9.25 million average audience and a 3.2 adults 18-49 rating in the overnight numbers.

  1. I’m feeling like this could be a big show for ABC. Emphasis on could be. Though I wasn’t the least bit interested in FlashForward, I have this odd intrigue about V. (And I tend to not care for science fiction).

    I’m almost thinking this one could premiere to 11-12 million.

  2. Matt

    12.34 million 3.9/10

  3. Christopher

    I’m gonna go with 8.75 million and a 2.8

  4. Derelict Zombie

    I have been watching the original series on Syfy and am extremely pumped about this new show. Not to mention how much I like Morena Baccarin and Elizabeth Mitchell, I really hope it’s great and does well.

  5. usedtolovecoco

    I predict 8 million but I hope that you guys are the ones that are right. Go Morena! Morena so awesome.

  6. Samantha

    11.38 million 3.7 18-49. And as a bonus, 9.72 million and 3.3 18-49 for next week.

  7. Christopher

    I loved the original and I am hopeful for this, but I watched the first 9.5 minutes and wasn’t impressed. I felt very underwhelmed.

  8. johnthemon

    I’m guessing in the 3.6-4.1 range.

  9. johnthemon

    as for viewers I’m gonna say 9-11 million, I think it will skew fairly young.

  10. Parenthood

    Hey Fringe premiered with 9 million! I think this could be ABC’s next Lost.

  11. Jared

    10 million-ish. 3.0

  12. Marcos

    3.6 A18-49
    10.5 million

  13. G

    I’m going to guess 8 million and 2.5 demo. Probably way off. :)

  14. I’m guessing it’ll be lucky to hit 3.0. I see it at 2.7.

  15. Tommy

    I’m going to be optimistic and say 10.5 million total viewers and a 3.8 Demo

  16. Victor Hugo

    Wow! I hope at least 10 million but my prediction is 10- 13 million viewers and 3.5-40 (18-49)

  17. This is the hardest guess out of all the newbies but I will go with 10.2 mil and a 3.3 18-49

  18. Vitor Fernando

    my guess is very close to your`s. my guess is 9.50mil and 3.4 in the demo.

  19. melbye

    I predict big numbers first episode, but then it fail week to week

  20. RJ

    6.83 million / 2.2 demo
