So... someone explain to the addle-brained old lady. What are the final numbers? It looks like it was still in the \O/ range.

Prime-Time Ratings:
Thursday 11/06/08

-Total Viewers:
CBS: 13.75 million, ABC: 11.16, NBC: 7.64, Fox: 4.55, CW: 4.27

-Adults 18-49:
CBS: 4.0 rating/10 share, ABC: 3.9/10, NBC: 3.3/ 8, Fox: 2.1/ 5, CW: 1.8/ 4

----------

Second at 8 p.m. was ABC’s Ugly Betty at 8.95 million viewers and a 2.7/ 7 among adults 18-49 (and also down considerably from the year-ago night’s 10.83 million viewers and a 3.5/ 9 in the demo). Rounding off the hour were weak NBC sitcoms My Name is Earl (Viewers: #3, 6.62 million; A18-49: #2, 2.6/ 7) and the abysmal Kath & Kim (Viewers: #3, 5.57 million; A18-49: #3, 2.4/ 6), which should never have been picked-up for the full season, the CW’s Smallville (Viewers: #4, 4.81 million; A18-49: #4t, 2.0/ 5), and a repeat of Kitchen Nightmares on Fox (Viewers: #4, 4.41 million; A18-49: #4t, 2.1/ 5). Needless to say, My Name is Earl should no longer be anchoring the night.


Rounding off the 9 p.m. hour was an original installment of Fox’s Kitchen Nightmares (Viewers: #4, 4.69 million; A18-49: #4, 2.2/ 5) and Supernatural on the CW (Viewers: #5, 3.73 million; A18-49: #5, 1.6/ 4).

Here it is: word of mouth. Period!

Everyone is saying season 8 is one of the best seasons Smallville ever had and some are already saying this is the best season yet. Old viewers who had lost touch with the show are back.

I haven't seen Bloodline yet but according to several it's the best episode yet of season 8.

Kudos to all Smallville crew: Congrats!

Good numbers for Supernatural as well.

How many viewers can it really lose from Denver? It's at 4.8 now. The season premier was 4.34. It's not losing 500k from one market.

So my logic still stands

I wasn't saying SV would have a crazy drop. My point was that it would drop due to the Denver preemption. To wit...

Finals:

Smallville
- 4.459 million viewers
- 2.7/4 HH
- 1.9/5 A18-49
- 1.9/6 A18-34

Supernatural
- 3.244 million viewers
- 2.1/3 HH
- 1.4/3 A18-49
- 1.3/3 A18-34


Normally, the numbers rise when Live + SD numbers come in. That said, last night's ratings beat the S8 premiere, which is extraordinary!


Running tally:

09/18/08 - 4,344,000 #1
09/25/08 - 4,181,000 #2
10/02/08 - 4,051,000 #1
10/09/08 - 4,119,000 #1
10/16/08 - 4,183,000 #1
10/23/08 - 4,155,000 #2
10/30/08 - 4,323,000 #1
11/06/08 - 4,459,000 (Rank TBD)

Thursday's ratings recap:
8 pm/ET
Survivor: Gabon dropped nearly a million total viewers week-to-week, topping the hour with 12.18 mil. Ugly Betty placed second with 8.95 mil, up 400 thou. In third, both NBC's Earl (6.62 mil, +450K) and Kath & Kim (5.57 mil, +110K) saw increases.
Smallville hit a season high of 4.5 mil, its biggest audience since Nov. 15, 2007.
9 pm
Grey's Anatomy dominated the demos, but at 15.63 million viewers (up 580K) again fell shy of unseating CSI (18.1 mil, down 540 thou) as the hour's most-watched program. With NBC's The Office dropping 10 percent to match its season low (8.35 mil), 30 Rock (eight mil) in turn dipped 530K from its week-ago series high.
With the Denver affiliates factored out, Supernatural actually dipped 330K, to 3.2 mil.

oh yeah, the one where the movie Supergirl guest starred. I remember being disappointed...

 

[Serene]

I looooove that the show is making waves enough to get noticed, despite the complete lack of publicity this season.

[Brainiac 8]

Nice.

Kudos to PS3 for giving the audience a fantastic Superman show.

 

[Webhead2006]

YEa i am so glad ratings have been doing very well for the show this yr and getting a bit higher each episode. Here's hoping episode 10, 11 will get around to like 5million viewers.

 

[LexFactor]

4.38 million in the overnight ratings

But it sounds like they're likely to drop in the final ratings.

odd that Berman refers to the show as "fading" a week after talking about how well it was doing and even besting the previous season. I'm sure those numbers will go down into the 4.2 range once they drop the NFL numbers in NY.

Although I wonder if they'll add back the numbers from when it airs in NY on Saturday back in to the Finals?

 

[LexFactor]

I think he's said that fading comment almost every week.

 

[Prison Mike]

I think the lower numbers has to do with the promo they put out. It was mostly Chloe-centric and maybe people skipped out on that one. I hope they tune in next week though because it looks awesome!

Yeah pretty much agree. I'd be surprised if the ratings don't go up next week.

 

[Prison Mike]

it was the same thing with Toxic when they just showed Oliver scenes in the promo. PS3 have done a great job with this show but CW needs to do better marketing. They need to keep things Clark-centric when they show promos, IMO.

Agree again. Although I think a little bit of Lois helps too.

yeah maybe if they show some clois in the promos, it will get butts in front of the tv. lol

These are supposedly the finals

Smallville
- 3.556 million viewers
- 2.1/3 HH
- 1.4/4 A18-49
- 1.4/4 A18-34

http://pifeedback.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/63310451/m/478106371/p/9

Assuming those are correct, I'm a little surprised. I expected a big drop, but not that big.

 

[Spirited Away]

3.556 million viewers is great, especially considering the episode was pre-empted in many parts of the East Coast!

 

[Webhead2006]

ouch i hope it isnt 3.5 hopefully it is over 4million. But the episode wasnt in a few markets so that is a factor.

 

[Prison Mike]

wow, that's a big drop. chloe killed the ratings. lol
