I really enjoyed Parenthood. I hope it doesn't have much of a fall off or somehow even gains viewers. The more Lauren Graham on my tv the better. :>))

Heres the info I dug up about Leno's 2nd night...

The second night of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show dominated late night again with a 4.6 household rating/12 share in early household metered markets data. Letterman’s The Late Show 3.1 rating/8 share. ABC’s Nightline had a 3.0 rating /7 share and Jimmy Kimmel Live trailed with a 1.7 rating /5 share.

Palin was on it so am not surprised but I stil say give it time Jay.

Here is data on the return of Southland the ex NBC drama...

The first new episode of Southland on TNT — the season two premiere, returned to 2.5 million viewers, and 1.3 million adults 18-49, a 1.0 rating in that demographic

Expect it to be canned if thats the trend for season 2.

2.5 million is pretty decent for cable, I thought.

Depends on the cable network and TNT would consider those ratings modest at best.

I haven't seen Parenthood, but those numbers are great for NBC, more so very little drop from the lead in.

Certainly unhealthy, although Dark Blue was renewed after pulling in 1.6m for its season finale.

While the last 30 mins dropped n viewers the demo stayed the same so good news for NBC indeed but we will see how long it lasts.

I tuned into Parenthood (via Hulu) strictly because of the amazing Lauren Graham. I have fond memories of the original movie from which the premise was borrowed, but I wouldn't have tuned in to see this if Maura Tierney had stayed on board. It was a decent debut - not terrible but not great. I'll check it out next week and see if it's a keeper.
