Ratings for Sympathy for the Devil

[agt_spooky]

From Marc Berman at the Programming Insider:

Vampire Diaries - 4.91 million
Supernatural - 3.39 million
America's Next Top Model - 3.24 million
90210 - 2.44 million
Melrose Place - 2.31 million
One Tree Hill (repeat) - 1.13 milion
Gossip Girl (repeat) - 858,000


Holy cow, I never expected Vampire Diaries to pull those kinds of numbers!

Marc gave Supernatural a "disappointing" review, as retention out of Vampire Diaries was only 67%, and last year's season premiere drew 3.96 million. Personally, I don't think VD is a good lead-in for Supernatural. I think Smallville was more compatable.

Once Smallville gets started (Sept. 25) I'll be updating the ratings on Monday to reflect where SV falls in the ratings list.

Re: Season 5 and VD

While I'm glad they've adjusted the characters to make them more likable for television, I can't help but resent SV's dislocation.

Same here! SV was a MUCH more compatible lead-in than VD. VD skews much too young.

On the Supernatural front, I hate that they moved its time slot.

Um, no, they didn't move SPN's time slot. It's still on at 9 pm EST.

In contrast, I think some of the SPN fans are straying because of the overall sense of unease in the show now.

I hear you on that. I know last season got harder and harder to watch, as Sam and Dean's relationship just completely fell apart. It was their bond that drew me to SPN in the first place, and without it, a big part of the show is just missing. But Kripke has stated many times that he WILL put the boys back together, so I'm trusting him on that one. :-)

Of course, despite my occasional nostalgia for the "good ole days" it remains my favorite series on television and I'm holding on to the show til the bitter, glorious end...(which is hopefully still a few seasons away -__-*)

You and me, both! If I made it through season three and didn't walk away in disgust, I can hang on to the glorious end, too. :-)
