Zap2It's ratings are always way off for some reason, I'm not sure where they get them from but theyre usually WAY off across the board. Mediaweek's are usually more accurate
 
I checked media week and it looks like they wont publish today. Any other sources?
 
I'm not sure where Craig at Ksite gets his from, but they're usually a little closer to Mediaweek. He'll probably post them this afternoon.

Okay Ksite's ratings have a 4.4/7. And they are often a little lower than Mediaweek.
 
Nice! This is Variety's report:

'CSI,' 'Trace' pace Eye
Morning Ratings Flash - Rick Kissell

By RICK KISSELL

ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" and the WBthe WB's "Smallville""Smallville" also shined on Thursday but CBS carried the night again behind original segs of "CSI" and "Without a Trace," according to preliminary Nielsen nationals.

"CSI" was the night's top-rated program and ruled the 9 o'clock hour (8.1 rating/20 share in adults 18-49, 25.5 million viewers overall) although this were its lowest firstrun scores in more than a year. "Without a Trace""Without A Trace" also led its slot at 10 (7.0/19 in 18-49, 22.0 million viewers overall), topping the combined scores of a repeat "ER""ER" on NBC (3.3/9 in 18-49, 7.8 million viewers overall) and ABC's "Primetime" (2.9/8 in 18-49, 8.8 million viewers overall).

At ABC, the 90-minute "Dancing With the Stars" (5.1/13 in 18-49, 19.3 million viewers overall) was on parpar with the previous week's score, finishing in a virtual 18-49 tie with CBS' "CSI" original and repeat and winning in total viewers. At 9:30, new comedy "Crumbs" (3.1/7 in 18-49, 10.8 million viewers overall) edged down a bit in its third episode.

NBC started slowly with originals of "Will & Grace""Will & Grace" (3.0/8 in 18-49, 7.0 million viewers overall) and "Four Kings" (3.1/8 in 18-49, 6.3 million viewers overall) but picked up in the middle hour with "My Name is Earl" (5.0/12 in 18-49, 10.4 million viewers overall) and "The Office" (4.6/11 in 18-49, 8.6 million viewers overall). "Office" built on its "Earl" lead-in among adults 18-34 for the first time, and both comedies led their slots in men 18-34.

The 100th episode of the WB's "Smallville" soared to season highs (2.7/7 in 18-49, 6.1 million viewers overall) and the show's best score in adults 18-34 (3.2/10) since November 2004.

Fox's revamped lineup showed a little more growth, with both "That '70s Show""That '70s Show" (2.8/8 in 18-49, 5.7 million viewers overall) and "The OC""The OC" (2.9/7 in 18-49, 5.7 million viewers overall) posting their best slot results to date.

Preliminary 18-49 averages for the night: CBS, 6.3/16; ABC, 4.0/10; NBC, 3.7/10; Fox, 2.9/7; WB, 2.4/6; UPNUPN, 0.9/2.

In total viewers: CBS, 20.4 million; ABC, 14.4 million; NBC, 8.0 million; Fox, 5.7 million; WB, 5.2 million; UPN, 2.5 million.
 
Gotta luv how everybody's ratings are different. If the episode did as well as I think it did, The WB *might* put out a press release detailing the demo breakdowns. For now though, here's the figures for the last two eps from The Futon Critic...

1/19
"Smallville" (households: 3.0/5, #15; adults 18-49: 2.1, #15)
"Beauty and the Geek" (households: 2.6/4, #16; adults 18-49: 2.0, #16)
The WB (households: 2.8/4, #5; adults 18-49: 2.0, #5)

1/26
"Smallville" (households: 3.8/6, #12; adults 18-49: 2.8, #T14)
"Beauty and the Geek" (households: 2.7/4, #16; adults 18-49: 2.1, #16)
The WB (households: 3.2/5, #5; adults 18-49: 2.4, #5)

You gotta think that Variety's the only one that matters though. And according to them, SV recieved their biggest audience in two years!
 
K-site's ratings are more in line with Variety's:

A Ratings "Reckoning"
Smallville's 100th episode improved in the ratings where most other shows went down. (aside from Dancing With The Stars, which is a phenomenon that I just don't get). It is likely we'll be seeing a press release touting success in key demographics by day's end.

Here's a look at the overnight-ratings breakdown:

Gotta be careful with ratings statistics. They can get wicked confusing, especially when they WANT to be LOL. Here's what Variety said...

The 100th episode of the WB's "Smallville" soared to season highs (2.7/7 in 18-49, 6.1 million viewers overall) and the show's best score in adults 18-34 (3.2/10) since November 2004.​

Aqua had a total viewer audience of 6.4M, and a 2.9/ 8 in 18-49, which is more than what Reckoning got, according to Variety. (Aqua's 18-34 was 3.1/10). I'm hoping The WB will put out an official press release for Reckoning's ratings, though considering the merger, I'm not holding my breath.
 
Geeze... guess I should have CHECKED for a press release FIRST before my last post LOL. Here ya go!!!!!

MILESTONE “SMALLVILLE” 100TH EPISODE SETS TIME PERIOD RECORDS FOR THE WB IN ADULTS 18-34, PERSONS 12-34, MEN 18-34 AND MEN 12-34

“SMALLVILLE,” WHICH ATTRACTS 6.3 MILLION VIEWERS, RANKS #1 IN ITS TIME PERIOD IN SEVEN KEY DEMOS, INCLUDING ADULTS 18-34 AND PERSONS 12-34

“BEAUTY AND THE GEEK” AND “SMALLVILLE” ACHIEVE TRIPLE-DIGIT GAINS OVER THE PARALLEL WEEK LAST SEASON

The WB's SMALLVILLE celebrated its 100th episode in winning fashion as THE HIT SERIES SET NEW ALL-TIME NETWORK TIME PERIOD RECORDS in ADULTS 18-34 (3.3/10), PERSONS 12-34 (3.2/10), men 18-34 (3.7/13) and men 12-34 (3.6/12). Its ratings in adults 18-49 (2.8/8) and men 18-49 (3.2/9) as well as in total viewers (6.3 million) were the second-highest in time period history.

The super series also placed #1 in its time period among adults 18-34 (3.3/10), persons 12-34 (3.2/10), men 18-34 (3.7/13), men 12-34 (3.6/12), men 18-49 (3.2/9), teens (2.8/9) and male teens (3.3/11).

Now that is some awesome payback for an incredible episode. Fantastic!
 
They are fabulous stats. Please carry through for the rest of the season.

I hope it encourages the suits at CW that this show is worth every bit of money and time they invest it.
 
This is related to The CW, but it has to do with ratings so I’ll put it here. In 2005 The WB was viewable by 91.66% of all households. The CW is expected to EXCEED 95%.

It should be safe to assume a 5% jump in Smallville’s ratings next year (both because of the new distribution and the lack of competition from UPN).

Using WB’s numbers for Reckoning the show would have gotten 9.45 million viewers on that night on The CW

And if you look at the ratings (according to KSite) Reckoning could of ended up with something like a 6.6 -- which would have EASILY put it ahead of NBC’s offering’s during the 8-9 pm period. It would have actually put it in a solid third place for the slot.

A ratings jump like that (especially given SV’s dominance of the key demo’s) is a big deal on the ad revenue side of things, and going into its later years the increase in revenue could actually help keep the show alive longer.

I'd just like to know how they figure on a 5% increase. Aside from Chris on that night they really seem to go for different audiences.
 
Not sure where this goes, exactly, but it seems it might make sense here.

It's safe to say that the amount of people who will be watching SMALLVILLE once it's on The CW Network (still doesn't sound right saying that...) will increase... I don't think it's going to be anything crazy but it should jump into the top 5.
It's also safe to say that SMALLVILLE, Supernatural, Gilmore Girls, and Beauty & The Geek will be the main shows which the new CW Network will promote off the WB roster.
Smallville will probably be the biggest hit off them all especially taking into note that it's getting really into the meat of the story now with pa kent dead, and Clark learning more about his destiny, and soon will fly, and then there's him in the SUIT!
Expect that episode to brake records for this show lol... :up:
With all this happening to the show I wouldn't doubt if we see a season 8, and who knows maybe 9, and 10.
Most shows like to get to 8 season but 10 is a big possibility! :)

Well it's about freakin' time! LOL I might actually watch it now. :D :up:
 
In today's Washington Post, they have posted the final ratings for last week's Reckoning. They say that from 8:00-8:30 it received a 5.9 rating, and from 8:30-9:00 it received a 5.7 rating.

Just wondering what sources have the official figures and if anyone has bothered to check the final numbers?
 
From USA Today:

Thursday night is dancing with success
By Gary Levin, USA TODAY
thursdaytv-lphoto.jpg

Is Thursday must-see TV again?
Dancing with the Stars' Lisa Rinna and Louis van Amstel have emerged as one of Season 2's teams to beat.

For nearly 20 years, NBC laid claim to the networks' most lucrative night, with a steady stream of hits from Cheers to Seinfeld to Friends and ER. Then CBS boldly moved Survivor and CSI to the night, Friends ended, NBC's bottom fell out, and the competition has been lopsided ever since, with CBS a dominant first place. (Related story: A very special ER?)

But the fight has intensified for No. 2.

ABC's Dancing with the Stars managed to re-create its status as a summer phenomenon on Thursdays, where it has been winning its 8 p.m. time slot with an average 18 million viewers; the network's Crumbs is holding steady at 9:30, against CSI, with 11 million.

WB, facing an otherwise tough season, is up 65% on Thursdays, and it set records among young men with a rejuvenated Smallville and second-season reality hit Beauty & the Geek. UPN has established a beachhead with Everybody Hates Chris.

CBS' fourth season of Without a Trace neared record highs last month. And even NBC has gained some traction by successfully transplanting My Name Is Earl and The Office to the hour vacated by the fading Apprentice. Although the network's overall Thursday ratings are down 27%, The Office has climbed to new highs.

"There's not just more genres of programming, but there are more buzz-worthy shows on the night in total," says Initiative Media analyst Stacey Lynn Koerner. And "they're dispersed across more networks, not just CBS and NBC."

"It's a much more competitive night," says Fox scheduler Preston Beckman. Fox will throw three American Idol semifinals results shows into the Thursday mix starting Feb. 23, when it will face Survivor, Dancing and Olympics.

"It's tougher, sure," says CBS scheduling chief Kelly Kahl. "But we haven't seen anything at this point that suggests it's coming out of our hides. Good network programming just leads to more viewers."

Thursday night is crucial for networks' financial health because it's coveted by movie studios and other major advertisers willing to pay high rates.

The surprisingly durable Survivor opens its 12th installment —Panama: Exile Island — Thursday (8 ET/PT) with four tribes, and sends one contestant each week packing for a temporary stay on a remote island.
 
You should go to www.tomwelling.org James has a link posted to a Hollywood North Report that says that Smallville has been approved for two more season.
