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

not terribly surprising considering the episode was pre-empted in the biggest media market in the United States by the NFL game. You saw how much it fell after they took the numbers out from Denver last week, now consider that the NYC market is almost 6 times that of Denver.

I read that they'll reair the episode in that area tomorrow at 6pm

 

[Webhead2006]

ksite is reporting the ratings was the 4.38million and not the 3.5million one.

 

[Spirited Away]

Yeah, it was 4.38 million. That's truly amazing, because it wasn't broadcast in New York and other areas of the East Coast. They'll just factor in those ratings once the episode's aired, although in PA, the episode isn't airing until Friday 28th Nov!

Ksite only posts the over night ratings, not the finals. Abyss got 3.5 million not the 4.3 million.

really? That sucks. I live in PA!

well hopefully they count the markets in that didnt see it thursday into toal finale talley.

Eventually, once the episode airs everywhere, Nielsen will do a final tally for the episode specifically.

But the "finals" we'll get next week won't include them, because the re-broadcasts are being done all over the place, some out of primetime.

I wouldn't worry though, The CW will count it all up and publicly release the figure, because it's going to be around 5 million easily!

The overnight ratings:

And the CW capped off the evening with aging Smallville (Viewers: #4, 4.77 million; A18-49: #5, 1.9/ 5) and companion Supernatural (Viewers: #5, 4.03 million; A18-49: #5, 1.6/ 4).

Although the future of Smallville beyond this season is a question mark, there is every reason to believe Supernatural will be back.

I dont get what Berman is smoking? Those are HUGE ratings for both shows; they're best all season, and those are the fast ratings that will likely go up even more once the finals are in considering there was no NFL games airing on the CW in any major markets which would skew the fast ratings like the past two weeks.

 

[LexFactor]

Consider as well that episode 10 of season 7, Persona, only managed 3.81 million in the finals.

"Persona" aired after the winter break. The better comparison is to "Gemini".

Fair enough, Gemini, 3.71 million.

Actually, on that note, I was thinking about Legion. Don't you think the same thing will happen for that ep after the long break?

 

[Prison Mike]

The CW will need to pimp "Legion" out like anything if they really want high ratings for that episode. It's usually the episode coming back from a long hiatus that doesn't do so well (unless they come out with so many promos that they hit you over head with them).

I don't think he was referring to the ratings for last night specifically, just an overall observation about how SV has been around for a long time and its return is still up in the air.

And WOOT for big ratings! Go, SV!

 

[LexFactor]

The ratings will likely drop again because I think an NFL game was shown in the Pittsburgh market. Not sure how drastic it will be though.

I think it was Cure.

No wonder I missed it!! I thought I was going crazy.

Cure was on 18th October.

 

[Webhead2006]

nice to hear bride's ratings were up again. Hopefully the finale tally will be same.

 

[Serene]

Look at the half-hour breakdowns.

SV almost cracked 5 mil.

Smallville
8:00 p.m. V: 4.56 m, A18-49: 1.8/ 5
8:30 p.m. V: 4.99 m, A18-49: 2.1/ 5

(I know these aren't final numbers, right? So, when do those come out?)

 

[KBX]

Ratings that are in the 2nd part of the episode tells you how good the episode really is!

So is unrealistic to think that Smallville will get 5 mil anytime this season?

 

[Webhead2006]

well smallville did get a few 5million viewers episodes last season right but it was from the DVR +7 count wasnt it?

 

[LexFactor]

Last season both Bizarro and Cure got 5.18 million. And that was before the DVR +7 thingy.

 

[Webhead2006]

ah i knew there was a few that got 5million with or without the dvr +7 thing.

shouldnt be major at all. Pittsburgh is a rather small media market, down around 25th or so. Probably just over 1 million households or so.

No final nationals for Thursday until Monday. Nielsen delayed them for some reason.
