| Junior Member  |  Yes it will, IF Jim crosses over. I'm sure the writers know that this ratings jump won't last if the audience doesn't like what they're seeing. Hence, I'm expectiing them to let us know a bit more of what's ahead pretty soon or people will just slowly tune out. |

| Newbie | I have to tip the cap to CBS. It pulled off something fairly remarkable on a Friday night. Every show in the CBS lineup crossed the eleven million mark. with the NCIS rerun marginally beating out Numb3rs as the night’s most-watched program, while Ghost Whisperer at 8pm had the best demo performance of the night (not just for CBS, but all of broadcast). What’s remarkable about this to me is that in total viewers these numbers are better across the board than the same night a year ago (Friday November 9, 2007). There is no real bad news here for CBS, unless you’re very focused on year over year results. By that view while CBS averaged nearly two million more viewers for the night than a year ago, but it was slightly down among 18-49 year olds (2.7/8 last year vs. 2.6/8 last night). But compared to last spring after the writer’s strike, or even earlier in the current season, CBS must be pleased. Things were better for everyone across the board than last Friday, but that was Halloween so I don’t read too much into the week over week results. Things may look bad for everyone else, but Fox also improved its performance over a year ago by more than a million viewers on average. ABC was down about a million and a half viewers vs. a year ago, but NBC and the CW were both down on average by more than three million. It may be the most interesting thing about Friday night ratings to report until a few months from now, when Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles moves to Friday, along with Fox’s Dollhouse. On a Friday the 13th, no less. Full details: 8:00 CBS Ghost Whisperer 11.05 2.8/9 Here is one article. |
