Friday’s Numbers
By fred | July 13, 2008
Okay, quick look at the numbers for Friday, since CBS had the series premiere of Flashpoint - still sitting on my DVR.
Did you watch it ? Was it good ? As I said I still don’t, but it was good for CBS - winner of the night both in viewers and on the demo, and that’s clearly thanks to the Flashpoint. The show didn’t just win its slot, but was the most-watched program (in viewers as well as on the demo) of the night, with 8.1 million viewers and 1.9 on the demo.
Clear winner, growing from its lead-in, performing better than anything else on TV that night, so far it’s a pretty good start for the show. It should also be noted that it improved (by ~200 000 viewers) between its first and last half-hour, which is never a bad sign. Of course we’ll have to see how things do next Friday, for the second episode.
I can already tell you I won’t be watching (though I might still record), because my eyes will be on the season premiere of Psych on USA !
