[Jax]

I would attach friday to this thead as well but i won't be round until sunday evening so I won't bother so feel free anyone to put them in this thread as they don't really warrant a seperate thread.

-Total Viewers:

CSI - 15.57 million & 3.7/10

The Mentalist - 14.78 million & 3.2/9

FOX

American Idol Results Show - 19.31 million & 6.5/19

Kitchen Nightmares - 8.09 million & 3.3/9

ABC

Grey’s Anatomy (repeat) - 5.05 million & 1.2/3

Grey’s Anatomy - 11.79 million & 4.0/11

Private Practice - 7.65 million & 2.7/8

NBC

Community - 5.06 million & 2.3/7

Parks and Recreation - 4.64 million & 2.3/6

The Office (1 hour) - 9.03 million & 4.7/12

The Marriage Ref - 7.71 million viewers & 3.4/10

CW

The Vampire Diaries (repeat) - 1.69 million & 0.7/2

Supernatural (repeat) - 1.55 million & 0.6/2

I have to admit am surprised that despite only a decent viewers total, NBC's 10pm shows this week have got good demo numbers.

Also next season I think Supernatural should move to partner Smallville on friday nights so a new show can lead out from Vampire Diaries because a new fresh genre show could take advantage of the lead in and score 3-4 million.

Leno's gap is shrinking...

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno scored 5.1 million over “Late Show” (3.9 million) and “Nightline” (3.6 million)

Who is this Leno guy you speak of?

I didn't know Kitchen Nightmares was on, I enjoy that show.

 

[Jetfire]

Was TVD & Supernatural repeats???

I want to check out The Marriage Ref...haven't so far.

 

[Marten]

I haven't read these statistics before, but Isn't CW:s programs supposed to be more popular?

 

[Jax]

They were repeats I just forgot to stick the repeat bracket on, sorted it now.

I was afraid I might have missed new ones.

I believe CW will actually start airing new episodes of all its shows next week. I read an good article that CW should embrace more of the WB legacy and stick with genre shows for the minorty fans and create more shows like Smallville/Supernatural/The Vamprie Diaries...

Well yeh there right, shows such as Dollhouse would of done fine on such a nework or as new Angel/buffyverse show. You might get the odd one that doesn't bring in the ratings Reaper though I hold CW more than the show to that failure.

CW has a chance to create shows that can get 3-5 million on strong nights based on what TVD has done and still have a decent friday night with ageing hits like Smallville and Supernatural if they follow my idea and move it there next season.

Theres no real reason why at least CW can't get close to WB levels of the past but they need to dump shows such as Melrose Place/90120 that cater to the teen girl craze and create true genre shows like Supernatural/TVD/Buffy/Angel/Smallville

 

[Jetfire]

I think The CW should focus on SF/F & urban comedy...and one or two reality/contest shows during the year.

No one is going to miss Gossip Girl or 90210.

 

[bigdaddy]

I think CW should just give up.

*Looks at their line up*

Oh they already did!
