It wasn't good to only air 6 episodes. They should have split the season up more evenly, like 10 in the fall and 12 in the spring.

RichC2 11-27-06 12:48 PM

I notice that Criminal Mind's numbers didn't improve that much with Lost missing, shows the two shows have their set audiences for the most part.

Shame I don't like CM.

Family Guy and American Dad seem to be up slightly from previous weeks. :up:

Jadzia 11-27-06 03:26 PM

Did Boston Legal get any kind of bump from being on after DH? My mom has never seen that show before but happened to last night because she usually watches Brothers & Sisters in that slot.

TheMovieman 11-27-06 04:03 PM

From what I read, they said it was "on-par" with Brothers & Sisters. Last week, B&S got 13.21m, BL got 13.78m (both fast nationals, though).

Nice bump for Veronica Mars.

WallyOPD 11-29-06 04:59 PM

On that tvtracker site it said Veronica only retained 56% of the Gilmore Girls audience, but these numbers would indicate it was over 72%.

Marc, the guy who puts these numbers up, made a mistake.

Those old people sure do love their NCIS. Just like they liked their JAG.

OUCH for Day Break... Man, what will ABC do? They might as well pull it and just show reruns of Lost because this thing is dead.

critterdvd 11-30-06 05:20 PM

Whoa 4.21 for 'One Tree Hill' - That's really awesome!

DAY BREAK does bring in less viewers now than LOST repeats, but I still believe it was a good method for finding a future partner for LOST...

Haha, with the competition accounted for, Grey's really sunk its teeth in. Big jump for Men in Trees as well (even with a < 50% retention rate).

Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. 12-01-06 04:15 PM

Pretty good numbers for a Shark rerun.

Thefutoncritic.com is reporting that MEN IN TREEs had almost exactly a 50% retention in total viewers though... Plus they improved by 15% retition from SIX DEGREES... Those are definately magical numbers for the show...

Here’s the breakdown of “Las Vegas” from 9:00 to 11:00

By Half-Hour:
9:00 - 9.12m
9:30 - 9.58m
10:00 - 11.00m
10:30 - 11.32m

By Hour:
9:00-10:00 -- 9.35m
10:00-11:00 -- 11.16m

That 11.16m is more than what "Law & Order" usually gets in that slot. Now, since it's a 2-parter (plus Numb3ers was a rerun), maybe it's misleading, but still interesting.
