Ratings for Born Under a Bad Sign

[agt_spooky]

From Marc Berman at the Programming Insider:

Rounding off the 9 p.m. hour were Fox’s soon-to-conclude The O.C. (Viewers: 3.57 million; A18-49: 1.6/ 4) and the CW's Supernatural (Viewers: 2.83 million; A18-49: 1.2/ 3), which disappointed with retention out of Smallville of 61 percent in total viewers and 67 percent among adults 18-49. Sorry, Supernatural, but competing The O.C.’s advantage of 740,000 viewers and 33 percent among adults 18-49 makes you a loser this week.

Half hour breakdown:

9:00 p.m. V: 2.95 million, A18-49: 1.2/ 3
9:30 p.m. V: 2.71 million, A18-49: 1.1/ 3

Wow, I'm totally stunned. Last night's episode was incredible! And to only score 2.83 million??

Last week we had 3.34 million, so this is a complete disappointment. :-( Wasn't there supposed to be some huge episode of Grey's on last night? I wonder if that affected our ratings.

And in comparision, here's how the other CW shows did this week, along with some comments from Marc, which I thought folks would be interested in as well:

Smallville: 4.67 million
Gilmore Girls: 4.62 million
(To the fans -- or non-fans -- of Gilmore Girls debating whether the show should return next season, note that it’s year-ago performance on the WB was a heftier 5.40 million viewers with a 2.4/ 6 among adults 18-49 (and that was also opposite American Idol). I vote to let Gilmore Girls exit while it still has some dignity left.)
Beauty and the Geek: 4.39 million
Everybody Hates Chris: 3.15 million
(which remains down by double-digit percentages year-to-year from its former Thursday 8 p.m. time period)
One Tree Hill: 2.85 million
All of Us: 2.74 million
(After three low-rated seasons, isn’t it time for the CW to swing the axe on All of Us?)
Girlfriends: 2.72 million
The Game: 2.66 million
Veronica Mars: 2.47 million
(with retention out of Gilmore Girls of just 53 percent in viewers and 55 percent in the demo). Year-ago WB occupant Supernatural averaged 4.27 million viewers and a 1.9/ 4 among adults 18-49. Sorry folks, but this certainly does not make Veronica Mars worthy of a fourth season renewal.)

Very sad that we didn't even beat One Tree Hill this week. :-(

I hear you! I'm not going to completely panic unless Tall Tales this week also falls below 3 million. I'm hoping that Sign's ratings were just a fluke! But boy, people just have NO idea what they missed by not watching it.
