Friday’s Numbers [11.21.2008]
By fred | November 23, 2008
So what happened on Friday? Well, the usual : CBS found out the key to Friday’s success, reruns, while other network struggle and NBC continues to sink and sink and sink…
CBS opened with Ghost Whisperer, still strong though slightly down, with 11.36 million viewers and a 2.7 on the demo. That led into a rerun of The Mentalist, which proved to be just as good if not better as reruns of NCIS : most watched program of the night with 11.62 million viewers (2.4 on the demo) A strong lead-in for Numb3rs, back to a new high with 11.23 million viewers and a 2.5 on the demo.
Other than that not much to say, everybody struggled like Crusoe on NBC, down to a new series low with not even 4 million viewers. That’s right, 3.50 million viewers and a 0.9 on the demo !! And you wonder why Ben Silverman is still at NBC? Because only he can do that!
Despite rumors that the show could have a little chance if it did well, Lipstick Jungle was down 300 000 viewers this week with only 3.33 million viewers and a low 1.1 on the demo. Rest assured there won’t be more episodes ordered.
