V 2009

My predictions last week stunk and I was off by like 60% with adults 18-49.   Somebody stole my psychic  fortune teller hat and replaced it with a dud!

In its premiere V had a 5.2 rating with adults 18-49 and averaged 14.3 million viewers in the final numbers.

So what do I think will happen tonight?   Well, after my poor showing last week, first we'll have a guest prediction chime in via "Travis Yanan's" Twitter account:

My guess range is 4.3-4.7 but that's really based on absolutely nothing more than a semi-standard 15% drop & margin of error

After last week I am tempted to go the reverse direction and declare that fabulous word of mouth will drive the ratings even higher.  But, based on all the production hiatuses and changes to showrunners I'm kind of worried that the second episode might be complete crap and that viewers will flee after 10 minutes. But maybe that doesn't happen until the third or fourth episode.  Or maybe it doesn't happen at all.

I'll go just a little higher than the top  of  Travis' range and predict a 4.8 adults 18-49 rating and 12.5 million viewers.
