Ocotber Road is a new show on ABC which stars former OTH hottie Bryan Greenberg. The show had it's first episode last night and I'm already hooked. FH could be one of the first boards to have a forum dedicated to the show. I think we have a real opportunity here. So vote for the forum if ya want one.

anyone else? I am supportive if you guys think it would work.

I viewed the pilot also (fast forwarded through the last third). With the exception of Laura Prepon who doesn't get enough screen time, it was boring. The pilot episode is supposed to wet your appetite for the series and quite often is the best episode of the series. If this pilot is indicative of the rest of the series, it will be a loser.

ABC travels "October Road" to Thursday win

Here is some infor regarding the ratings of this show.

"October Road" got a strong start on its journey following "Grey's Anatomy," leading ABC to a primetime win Thursday, while the premieres of NBC's "Andy Barker, PI" and "Raines" failed to impress.

Meanwhile, the Fox quiz show "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" was greatly diminished from its earlier run following "American Idol," but still won its 8 p.m. time period against
NCAA basketball, a new "Ugly Betty" and a renovated "Office."

"October Road," about a successful author's return to the small New England town and the friends he abandoned a decade earlier, averaged 14.3 million viewers and a 5.8 rating/16 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary estimates released Friday by Nielsen Media Research.

At 9:30 p.m., the
Andy Richter comedy "Andy Barker, PI" posted a 5.4 million, 2.4/6, while the
Jeff Goldblum cop drama "Raines" pulled a 10.3 million, 2.9/8 in the 10 p.m. hour.

"Andy Barker" tied with a repeat of Fox's "Family Guy" (5.4 million, 2.4/6) for fourth place in the time period. It lost steam from its lead-in, a new "Scrubs" (6.4 million, 2.8/7). "Raines" was in third place at 10 p.m. against "October Road" and the opening round of NCAA men's basketball.

"5th Grader" (12.2 million, 4.5/13) won at 8 p.m. in viewers and adults 18-49 although it was nothing near the sky-high opening weeks when it followed "American Idol." But it still beat "Ugly Betty" (10.8 million, 3.4/10) as well as an hourlong "The Office" (6.6 million, 2.8/8) that was mostly a repeat with some previously unaired material.

"Grey's Anatomy" (22.4 million, 8.8/22) won its 9 p.m. time period and was the night's top show in viewership and adults 18-49.

Early-round telecasts of CBS's "March Madness" averaged an estimated 9.6 million viewers.

Nightly averages: ABC (15.8 million, 6.0/16); CBS (9.6 million, 3.5/9); NBC (7.7 million, 2.7/7); Fox (9 million, 3.5/9); and The CW (4.1 million, 1.7/5).

ABC's 'October Road' loses some gas

The second outing of “October Road,” ABC’s new drama in the post-“Grey’s Anatomy” slot, saw mixed results last night. On the one hand, the show was down 16 percent from last week’s strong debut and lost nearly half “Grey’s” lead-in.

On the other hand, it was still well ahead of where “Men in Trees” had been tracking in the same timeslot.

“Road” averaged a 4.9 in adults 18-49, according to Nielsen overnights, down from last week’s 5.8. It held on to 56 percent of the 8.7 averaged by “Grey’s” at 9 p.m., and it won its timeslot handily over NBC’s “Raines” and CBS’s NCAA basketball coverage.

And “Road” was also roughly a point ahead of “Men’s” recent average in the timeslot. The question for ABC is whether the show will continue to sink or whether it will level off. Last night’s episode once again dipped during its second half hour, from a 5.5 to a 4.3, which is never a good sign but isn’t unexpected when a show has a huge lead-in.

While “Men,” which was renewed earlier this week for a second season, lost more than half its lead-in, the show has grown slightly since it took over the 10 p.m. timeslot earlier this season. Meanwhile, “Six Degrees,” the show that began the year in the timeslot, fell almost every week.

ABC still has a few weeks to see how “Road” fares before “Men” returns. Next week it will face CBS’s “Shark” for the first time. That show, which usually wins the timeslot in total viewers, has been off the air for NCAA basketball.

Elsewhere last night, Fox’s “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” dipped to a series-low 3.6 at 8 p.m., down 20 percent from last week’s 4.5 and barely winning the timeslot.

And ABC’s “Ugly Betty” fell to a series-low 3.2 two days after being picked up for a second season.

ABC finished first last night among 18-49s with a 5.6 average rating and a 16 share. CBS was second at 3.9/11, Fox third at 2.8/8, NBC fourth at 2.5/7, Univision fifth at 1.6/5 and CW sixth at 1.5/4.

Numbers for CBS are approximate as it carried live game coverage. Overnights measure timeslot and not actual program data.

Fox led the 8 p.m. hour with a 3.6 for “Smarter,” followed closely by CBS with a 3.5 for coverage of the NCAA basketball tournament. ABC was third that hour with a 3.2 for “Ugly Betty,” NBC fourth with a 2.5 for an hour of “My Name is Earl” repeats and Univision and CW tied for fifth at 1.7, Univision for “La Fea Mas Bella” and CW for “Smallville.”

ABC led with an 8.7 rating for “Grey’s Anatomy” at 9 p.m., easily the night’s top-rated show. CBS was second again that hour with a 4.2 for basketball, NBC third with a 2.5 average for “Scrubs” (2.9) and “Andy Barker, P.I.” (2.2), and Fox fourth with a 2.0 for repeats of “Family Guy” and “American Dad.” Univision was fifth with a 1.6 for “Mundo de Fieras” and CW slipped to sixth with a 1.4 for “Supernatural.”

At 10 p.m. ABC led with a 4.9 for “October Road,” followed by CBS with a 3.9 for more basketball. NBC was third that hour with a 2.5 for “Raines,” down from a 2.9 for last week’s premiere, and Univision fourth with a 1.5 for “Aqui y Ahora.”

Among households, ABC led the night comfortably with a 10.0 average rating and 16 share. CBS was second at 6.9/11, Fox third at 4.7/8, NBC fourth at 4.6/8, CW fifth at 2.4/4 and Univision sixth at 2.2/4.

*****

A 16% drop isn't that much. It was expected that show would loose some from it's premiere. Most shows do that.

**Plastic Flute** · 03-24-2007, 02:46 PM

A Taylor Kitsch Forum would be Great .

P.Sawyer · 10-02-2007, 04:53 AM

P.Sawyer · 10-02-2007, 06:32 AM
