Comments on: TV Ratings:Ghost Whisperer leads night with 18-49; Smallville hits season high with viewers

I gave up on Ghost Whisperer this season. I still love me some J. Love, because she looks terrific in her super skimpy lingerie. And no one can cry on a dime better than her. But this show has gone down hill since J. Love started dating her co star. I’m not surprised they’ve lost 3 million viewers this season. Her boyfriend sucks the believability out of every scene and the story line is a big mess. Adding the kid was a risk that did not pay off. Instead of getting the new Haley Joel Osmet to add a creepy vibe and make it interesting they got cousin Oliver from the Brady bunch, so it’s confusing and boring.

Fellow Arquette-ophiles, just letting you know that Medium ticked up in Friday's final broadcast ratings to a 2.0 in the demo and 8.4 million viewers, making it the night's #1 program.

//The Smallville news make me tremendously happy! I’m pulling for 3.0 for Pandora next week. A .3 increase (if the 2.7 sticks) is not at all unrealistic. In fact, I think they can even surpass that.//

Ah….me happy too. Me think Smallville best season ever. Change Smallville name to Metropolis for final season 10. Then jump it to the BIG screen for the next 10 years!

me think good idea

This is great for Smallville but their long holiday break is coming up soon…this may hurt their rating roll…I predict if they maintain this roll…then their 2 hour TV movie will break the record for friday night and they will be at least one other network…

They still need to promote it more…all I see when I run by that channel is MELROSE PLACE & GOSSIP GIRL PROMOS…I mean…Come On!?

Wow no one is talking about Medium, it’s such a good show, is there a good chance that it will get renewed?

Last season, L&O averaged just over eight million viewers on Wednesday nights. Can anyone tell me what the key demo was last season? This season, it’s averaging around 7.5 million viewers and about a 1.6 in the 18-49 demo. I believe the SD+7 rating pushes it closer to a 2.0. Not bad at all, especially given its most unattractive schedule (8:00 p.m. on Fridays). The series has always skewed older. The viewer actually has to pay attention to the dialogue and plot twists (unlike much of the mindless dreck in many of the other procedurals) to follow along. This is a show that will thrive in almost any timeslot. While definitely a grand-daddy, L&O still has potency. Season 21 should be almost guaranteed now.

Go Smallville! I quit watching about 3 seasons ago but this season drew me in and has only surprised me at how good its been getting from week to week.

If CW has to rerun 2 hrs a week putting ATM rerun @8PM on Tue followed @9PM w/new 90210(this way 90210 won’t have to take a bullet for American Idle) would make more since, then rerun season #1 of smallville/supernatural or Vampire Diaries @9PM on Friday.

If they have to have to rerun hours a week..make Tue old teen Movie night(Flix from The Frog)…American Idle is going to kill anything in this spot(except Reaper for some reason, did descent yet took the bullet)

Wed=ATM/90210
Thur=Vampire Diaries/Melrose
Fri=Smallville/Supernatural

It is sad, CW actualy has a chance to grow on Thur and Friday, Thur. needs another teen sci-fi show to follow it, Friday move Supernatural after Smallville, also run 10 episode Green Arrow/JLA/Wonder Twins spin off in the middle of Smallvilles season, this way it can keep from losing audience mid season.

I agree with everyone else, L&O is doing way better than I thought it would on Friday nights . Almost tied Ghost Whisperer last night. The episodes have been really good this season.

On The Flipside, its a disgrace the way abc is treating Ugly Betty. It is a great original show with the finest of actors on television and deserves way better treatment(and better ratings)

I think that two hour block will bring about 3-3.8 millions. Old fans will definitely tune in.

By: mark wood

Ryan

There is almost no chance that Smallville’s two hour block would be the most viewed friday for the CW, or for that matter score the highest male demo or even female demos for the CW.

I don’t have ratings for the WWE for its last season on the CW, but the year before (and only with regular season final numbers), Fast Nationals for the rest.

WWE got up to 5.42 million viewers on one day

We have to go back 3 years to see Smallville reach numbers that high.

Last Year season high
4.459 million viewers

Two Years ago
5.184 million viewers

3 Years ago(this is Fast Nationals I don’t have finals for it’s first 5 episodes of that season, but its fast nationals for its season opener were):

5.44 million, now that might have gone up or down in finals, but its the only time on the CW that Smallville would possible have exceeded the high that WWE had (also on the CW).

Of course it’s last year on the WB had at least 6 episodes (and possible more) that exceeded those numbers based on the finals numbers that I have.

Again, since I don’t know when this is supposed to air (I am assuming next year, but I could easily be wrong), and with the drop that typically happens for many shows from their fall highs, I will be very happy to see the show top 3 million, and really, really tickled if it gets say 3.25 million or higher.

That would be great, anything more and its gravy.

Rich, if you have access to HDNet, they run back to back episodes of Smallville at 7-8 AM and 8-9 AM (Mountain Standard time) every day. And, it appears they will be starting with the 2001 pilot episode in the second hour this Wednesday. All of this is according to my on screen guide. Maybe HDNet has a website you could check out.

Outside of the awful ratings, I’m kind of happy that Betty got moved to Fridays. I think it woke up the producers and writers of the show – sort of an “Oh snap!” moment, and they actually starting putting some effort back into it. This season’s been the best yet, compared to what was an awful season 3.

GO MASTER B!* Just when I thought SV has gotten so good it cannot overwhelm me anymore, there came along IDOL and I just want to scream when I think about how good SV has gotten. Its so royal in my eyes I don’t think that SV is suited for those eyes which don’t see it for what it is so I’m glad that the audience is now largely the TRUE fans. I just hope it will be enough to get a 10th season if that is what they are taking into account when they are deciding to renew it.

Also Smallville is the only show that makes me feel IDK, ‘safe’ and ‘home’ if you will and as good and critically acclaimed other shows are they do not make me feel that way. There may be another Superman series but never kile SV.

* The Wonder Twins refers to Clark Kent/Superman/The Blur as “Master B”

Shift + refresh didn’t immediately work for me, but I’m running Firefox (re: FOX death threats post).

Gravatar’s official explanation for this, from their FAQ: “We cache your gravatars for periods of time, which means that your new gravatar will take effect after the old one expires from the cache. The reason we do this is to be able to serve your (and indeed everybody’s) gravatar images much more quickly and reliably.”

If it were NBC, I haven’t a (printable) clue what they would say

So, my new gravatar will be up when they get around to it

@ Rich

Smallville reruns no longer airs on ABC Family. ABC Family Smallville reruns ended in 2007.

Smallville does still rerun on HDNET at 9 a.m. & 10 a.m. ET Mondays-Fridays.

Supernatural wont start haing reruns on another network till next TV season.

Compare: NBC Law & Order 1.7/6 7.50. CBS Numb3rs 1.8/6 8.16. The chatter for L&O is that NBC must be very pleased and that it’s going to get renewed. (Sounds good to me — I love L&O.) However, Numbers, which I also love, has better “numbers” despite running later in the evening, is deemed by many to be doomed, particularly after its episode order was cut. Different networks, different expectations — I get it. Funny how that works, though, huh?

By: Smallville

Smallville — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 22:59:08 +0000

David gallagher and Allison Scagliotti played good wonder twins they should make a show out of it, a spin off of Smallville but for the wonder twins. They could air it after Smallville on fridays next year if Smallville has a season 10. I also think that more people watched it yesterday because some people might just be fans of the wonder twins, i ahve a friend whose mom loves the wonder twins and watched it last night because of the wonder twins. Luckily Smallville will have a lot more famous dc comics characters guest starring and in 2 weeks Speedy will return and the rise of the Dark Archer!

Smackdown was actually really successful for CW, Ryan. I believe in viewers it was over 5 mil from time to time.

By: Ryan

Ryan — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 22:40:54 +0000

I full expect the two hour movie event to cause a ratings increase and become the highest rated Friday night in CW history.

I mean SmackDown used to be there and I doubt it got over 3 million viewers that often…
