Ugly Betty (ABC), Survivor: Cook Islands (CBS), Grey’s Anatomy (ABC), CSI (CBS), ER (NBC)

-Yesterday’s Losers (excluding repeats):
‘Til Death (Fox), Celebrity Duets (Fox), Six Degrees (ABC)

---------------

-Ratings Breakdown:
In a major turn of events, regularly scheduled programming on ABC and CBS shared Thursday leadership, with ABC first in the overnights and adults 18-49, and CBS No. 1 in total viewers. NBC remained in the distant third-place spot, followed by a night of lackluster season-premieres on the CW and Fox’s dead-in-the-water ‘Til Death and Celebrity Duets.

Beginning with the show everyone was talking about, let’s just say the results for ABC’s Ugly Betty were anything but ugly. The critically acclaimed one-hour comedy roared out of the gate with a 12.2/19 in the overnights (#1), 16.09 million viewers (#2) and a 4.9/14 among adults 18-49 (#2) at 8 p.m. Comparatively, that was an improvement over the year-ago season-premiere of former occupant Alias (Overnights: 6.4/10; Viewers: 8.21 million; A18-49: 2.5/ 7 on Thursday, Sept. 29, 2005) of a whopping 91 percent in the overnights, 7.88 million viewers and 96 percent among adults 18-49. Survivor: Cook Islands, meanwhile, was down but not out with a 9.6/15 in the overnights (#2), 16.60 million viewers (#1) and a 5.8/16 among adults 18-49 (#1). While that is still worthy of a winner’s listing, am I the only one who feels ripped off that Survivor merged the teams already?

As a reminder, total viewers and adults 18-49 from last night are based on the fast nationals. Any prior results are based on the final nationals.

The arrival of Ugly Betty also had a detrimental effect on NBC’s My Name Is Earl (Overnights: 5.6/ 9; Viewers: 8.25 million; A18-49: 3.4/10) and The Office (Overnights: 5.3/ 8; Viewers: 7.68 million; A18-49: 3.7/10), which fell into a deeper No. 3.

Also at 8 p.m. was the season-premiere of the CW’s Smallville (Overnights: #4, 3.8/ 6; Viewers: #5, 5.04 million; A18-49: #5, 2.2/ 6), followed by two episodes (original and repeat) of Fox sitcom ‘Til Death (8 p.m. - Overnights: #4, 3.7/ 6; Viewers: #4, 5.75 million; A18-49: #4, 2.4/ 7 // 8:30 p.m. – Overnights: #5, 3.4/ 5; Viewers: #4, 5.44 million; A18-49: #4t, 2.3/ 6). Like the CW’s 7th Heaven and Gilmore Girls, Smallville was down from its year-ago season-premiere on the WB (Overnights: 4.4/ 7; Viewers: 5.90 million; A18-49: 2.6/ 7 on Sept. 29, 2005).

At 9 p.m., the winning ratings ball was shared between ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy and old CBS faithful CSI. Grey’s Anatomy scored a 16.1/24 in the overnights (#1), 23.31 million viewers (#2) and a 9.4/22 among adults 18-49 (#1). CSI averaged a 15.3/22 in the overnights (#2), 23.49 million viewers (#1) and a 7.9/19 among adults 18-49 (#2). Although the lead-in support from Survivor decreased last night, CSI is back in action.

In search of the leftovers on NBC was Deal or No Deal at a distant third-place 5.8/ 8 in the overnights, 9.31 million viewers and a 3.2/ 8 among adults 18-49. Although the second-season premiere of the CW’s Supernatural also came down quite a bit from one year earlier, retention out of lead-in Smallville of 79 percent in the overnights, 76 percent in total viewers and 73 percent among adults 18-49 was not too bad given that the competition was Grey’s Anatomy and CSI. Take a look:

Supernatural – season premiere
Thursday 9/28/06 – 9 p.m.
Overnights: 3.0/ 4 (#4), Viewers: 3.81 million (#5); A18-49: 1.6/ 4 (#4)

Tuesday 9/13/05 – 9 p.m.
Overnights: 4.3/ 6 (#4); Viewers: 5.69 million (#4), A18-49: 2.5/ 6 (#3)

Percent Change:
Overnights: -30, Viewers: -33, A18-49: -36

Also at 9 p.m. was Fox’s Celebrity Duets at a 2.7/ 4 in the overnights (#5), 4.02 million viewers (#4) and a 1.5/ 4 among adults 18-49 (#5).

----------

-Final Wednesday Nationals:
What follows is the Wednesday analysis updated with the final national ratings:

CBS won its second consecutive Wednesday, with solid retention for week two of drama Jericho and a record performance for Criminal Minds. ABC ranked second, Fox was on the map courtesy of Bones and Justice, but NBC’s combination of The Biggest Loser and Kidnapped lagged. The CW’s America’s Next Top Model remained a force to reckon with, while the season-premiere of former WB serial One Tree Hill was up slightly from one year earlier. Worth noting for ABC was a first-place finish among women 18-49, women 18-34 and kids 2-11. The CW, meanwhile, was tied with ABC for No. 1 among women 18-34 from 8-10 p.m.

Also at 8 p.m. was Fox’s Bones at a comfortable (and third-place) 7.80 million viewers and a 2.9/ 8 among adults 18-49, and week two of CW hit America’s Next Top Model at a healthy 4.68 million viewers (#5) and a 2.4/ 7 among adults 18-49 (#5). Top Model’s real strength, of course, is among younger viewers with first-place finish in the hour among adults 18-34 and women 18-34.

In season-premiere news, season four of serial One Tree Hill got some mileage out of Top Model, with an improved 3.44 million viewers and a 1.7/ 4 among adults 18-49. Comparably, that was on par with it’s year-ago season-opener on the WB (Viewers: 3.46 million; A18-49: 1.7/ 5 on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 8 p.m.).

What follows are the final national ratings for Wednesday, Sept. 27:

-Households:
CBS: 9.5 rating/15 share, ABC: 8.5/13, Fox: 4.7/ 7, NBC: 4.5/ 7, CW: 2.9/ 4

-Total Viewers:
CBS: 14.74 million, ABC: 12.82, Fox: 7.42, NBC: 6.84, CW: 4.06

-Adults 18-49:
CBS: 4.6 rating/13 share, ABC: 4.2/11, NBC and Fox: 2.7/ 7 each, CW: 2.0/ 5

 

[avidreader]

They beat Fox in the share rating.

I guess for a show going into its 6th Season the're not bad figures going up against some newbies.

There's been positive reaction to the episode though, so hopefully they can build on that.

-Adults 18-49:
CBS: 4.6 rating/13 share, ABC: 4.2/11, NBC and Fox: 2.7/ 7 each, CW: 2.0/ 5

Considering other shows of the Cw, Smallville does really well (I think) even if it lost almost a million viewers. Remember the heavy competition from CSI and Greg's anatomy.

Being one of the strongest shows of the Cw and if it continues like this, a seventh season is secured.

I still haven't watched ZOD...

 

[Kaboom]

betty la fea has been super hyped, so alot of people may have tuned in to see what the fus is about, a super hyped show like that rarely keeps its numbers up.

 

[NHawk19]

CW is still down on the year so far. The next few weeks should be something to see.

 

[AgentPat]

Hmm... proving yet again, it's not about overall viewership, but specifically targeted demographics...

From Broadcasting and Cable:

The CW also had a solid night with the premiere of Smallville averaging 5 million viewers and a 2.5/8 in the 18 to 34 demo. Its companion Supernatural attracted 3.8 million viewers and a 1.8/5 in the younger demo.​

That's what counts for the CW.

 

[explode7]

Smallville's ratings are down??? WTF??? So that means we probably wont be getting any season 7. Up to season 6 is good I guess at least it reached farther than the past superman tv show series.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

beginning of a new season on a new network, although Smallville did have more viewers than any other show on the network in premiere week. Nothing ot worry about. 5 million is a solid number all things considered, let's hope it builds from there.

Ugly Betty was more or less a morbid curiosity for most people. A show's premiere ratings are usually always high. How that thing does in the next few weeks will really tell you what kind of impact it's gonna have this year. I saw it and it seemed like a racier version of the George Lopez show. I dont see it pulling in 12 million a week for the rest of the year.

 

[Kaboom]

plus it was super hyped, and on one of the main netowrks. i dont think we have to wrry


oh and the main star is uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Zorex]

Smallville's ratings are down??? WTF??? So that means we probably wont be getting any season 7. Up to season 6 is good I guess at least it reached farther than the past superman tv show series.

I think it's a little early to be saying "oop, ratings are down, guess that's it." Things could definitely, definitely pick up from here, and it's not as though these ratings were a big ol' bomb. Or am I not seeing it right?

No they werent a big ol' bomb and as Pat posted, the demographics, which is what they really look at, were quite successful.

Smallville was able to build on its premiere episode last year so its all good.

 

[RakuMon]

From the newest SV Mag: Miles Millar talks about the role ratings will play for the show in season six:

What's been the impact having new bosses? Are the executives at The CW leaving well enough alone, or are they sending through notes constantly?
MILES: At this point they've said, "We'll leave well enough alone," which is great because we can do our own thing. But I think it's all going to be about ratings. At The WB we had people who had developed the show; were passionate about the show, and were fans of the show. Here, it's going to be much more about the cold, hard facts of ratings and that sort of thing. We have our work cut out for us.

These are for the Monday Night Stuff. Seems like CW is still down for 7th Heaven. Though they do make a point of saying the current ratings are ahead of UPNs shows from last year.

-Yesterday’s Losers:
The Class (CBS), Vanished (Fox), Runaway (CW), Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (NBC)

---------------

-Ratings Breakdown:
CBS led this third Monday of the 2006-07 season, with a first-place finish in the overnights, total viewers and adults 18-49. NBC was second in all three categories despite a fading Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, followed by ABC, Fox and the CW.

Unfortunately, week three of CBS sitcom The Class remained a weak link, with a 6.0/ 9 in the overnights (#2), 8.00 million viewers (#3) and a 2.8/ 8 among adults 18-49 (#3). Former occupant The King of Queens averaged a considerably more potent 7.6/12 in the overnights, 10.31 million viewers and a 3.5/10 among adults 18-49 on the year-ago evening. The Class led into How I Met Your Mother, which built by 10 percent in the overnights (6.0/ 9 to 6.6/10), 1.44 million viewers (8.00 to 9.44) and 29 percent among adults 18-49 (2.8/ 8 to 3.6/ 9) at 8:30 p.m. And, you know what…it was actually funny last night!

First in the 8 p.m. hour was NBC’s Deal or No Deal at an 8.5/13 in the overnights, 13.04 million viewers and a 3.7/10 among adults 18-49 (tied with Fox’s Prison Break in the demo). Prison Break (Overnights: #3, 6.1/ 9; Viewers: #2, 8.93 million; A18-49: #1t, 3.7/10) and ABC’s Wife Swap (Overnights: #4, 5.5/ 8; Viewers: #4, 7.70 million; A18-49: #4, 3.0/ 8) were at typical early fall levels, while the CW’s 7th Heaven (Overnights: #5, 3.4/ 5; Viewers: #5, 4.30 million; A18-49: #5, 1.6/ 4) built by 110,000 viewers, 7 percent in adults 18-49 and as much as 9 percent among women 18-49 from its season-premiere one week earlier. Although 7th Heaven remains down year-to-year by double-digit percentages, comparatively it’s still an improvement over UPN comedies One On One and All of Us.
As a reminder, total viewers and adults 18-49 from last night are based on the fast nationals. Any prior results are based on the final nationals.

CBS sitcoms Two and a Half Men (Overnights: #1, 10.9/16; Viewers: #1, 15.93 million; A18-49: #1, 5.2/13) and The New Adventures of Old Christine (Overnights: #1, 9.4/14; Viewers: #1, 13.71 million; A18-49: #2, 4.5/11) showed growth from one week earlier in the 9 p.m. hour, while week two of NBC’s competing Heroes lived up to its title. Heroes averaged a comfortable 9.4/14 in the overnights (#2), 12.57 million viewers (#2) and a first-place 5.3/13 among adults 18-49, building from lead-in Deal or No Deal by a hefty 43 percent among adults 18-49. Retention for Heroes from its week-ago premiere (Overnights: #1, 9.7/14; Viewers: #1, 14.10 million; A18-49: 31, 5.9/14 on Sept. 25) was also solid at 97 percent in the overnights, 89 percent in total viewers and 90 percent among adults 18-49. Retention for CBS’ The New Adventures of Old Christine out of Two and a Half Men, meanwhile, was also strong at 86 percent in the overnights and total viewers, and 87 percent among adults 18-49.

In season-premiere news, a two-hour edition of ABC’s The Bachelor: Rome opened with a third-place 5.4/ 8 in the overnights, 8.95 million viewers and a 3.5/ 9 among adults 18-49 from 9-11 p.m. Comparably, though, that was still an improvement of 2 percent in the overnights, 2.71 million viewers and 30 percent among adults 18-49 from its most recent opening-season levels (Overnights: 5.3/ 8; Viewers: 6.24 million; A18-49: 2.7/ 7 on Monday, Jan. 9, 2006).

Also at 9 p.m. was Fox drama Vanished at a so-so (and fourth-place) 4.6/ 7 in the overnights, 6.39 million viewers and a 2.3/ 5 among adults 18-49; and week two of CW drama Runaway at an almost invisible (and, of course, last place) 1.6/ 2 in the overnights, 1.95 million viewers and a 0.8/ 2 among adults 18-49. Compared to former failed WB time period occupant Just Legal on the year-ago evening (Overnights: 2.6/ 4; Viewers: 2.88 million; A18-49: 0.9/ 2 on Oct. 3, 2005), that was a decrease of 38 percent in the overnights, 930,000 viewers and 11 percent among adults 18-49. Runaway opened last Monday with a 1.8/ 3 in the overnights, 2.18 million viewers and a 0.7/ 2 among adults 18-49. Did anyone ever think Runaway would make Just Legal look like a hit?
As for Vanished, retention out of Prison Break of just 62 percent among adults 18-49 lands it in the loser’s column.

At 10 p.m., CBS’ CSI: Miami continues to own the hour, with a 12.4/19 in the overnights, 17.35 million viewers and a 5.7/15 among adults 18-49. Week three of NBC’s competing Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip took another significant hit, dipping to a 7.2/11 in the overnights, 9.05 million viewers and a 3.5/ 9 among adults 18-49. Retention for Studio 60 out of Heroes was just 77 percent in the overnights, 72 percent in total viewers and 66 percent among adults 18-49. Take a look at Studio 60’s three-week track:

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip – Mon. 10 p.m.
9/18/06 - Overnights: 10.3/16; Viewers: 13.41 million; A18-49: 5.0/13
9/25/06 - Overnights: 8.7/14; Viewers: 10.83 million; A18-49: 4.2/11
10/02/06 – Overnights: 7.2/11; Viewers: 9.05 million; A18-49: 3.5/ 9

And, to make matters worse, erosion in the second half of Studio 60 continued, with a loss of 8 percent in the overnights (7.5/11 to 6.9/11), 650,000 viewers (9.38 to 8.73 million) and 5 percent among adults 18-49 (3.6/ 9 to 3.4/ 9). Both CSI: Miami and The Bachelor: Rome did not lose steam at 10:30 p.m.

So Dawn still think it was a good idea not to go with Aquaman and to cancel Everwood?

Let's not forget about bringing back 7th Heaven..

I'm still hoping that Al and Miles will shop Aquaman around to other networks.

Eh I wont go that far because their ratings were up this week over last.

Plus my biggest problem with the CW is that their marketing campaign focused to much on "the CW" and not enough on the shows and their time slots. Sure great we get that it's a new network but when are the shows on and what's going to happen?

This is an even bigger problem when you consider that they were using established shows to launch. Seems they ignored what they would normally do with established shows on an established net and merely approached it as it the entire net and its programming were new.

Apparently too, CW wont be available in Alaska and Hawaii until next year.

 

[RakuMon]

Why do you always get the Smallville Magazines before everyone else?

I have my ways.

im alittle disapointed wih all the ratings in general. The Smallville season Premiere should of drawn in as atleast 6 to 7 million. when you look at the ratings, CW is the least watched prime time network. Half these shows would be cancelled if they aired on Fox.

 

[Eros]

Everything else on CW sucks. I hope they move Smallville to CBS one day. The big leagues.

Smallville would be cancelled within the week if only 4.96 million viewers tuned it, if it was on CBS or the other primetime networks dude.

 

[RakuMon]

Smallville would be cancelled within the week if only 4.96 million viewers tuned it, if it was on CBS or the other primetime networks dude.

Well, comparatively, if Smallville were on one of the other four networks, it would probably have a larger audience by default.

A lot of people forget that The CW, even though it's a new network, is still a netlet in that it doesn't have the same reach as ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX.

 

[Eros]

I agree RakuMon, but smallville,Gilmore girls,supernatural, and top model are perhaps the only CW shows that could survive on a primetime network.
