Thursday’s Numbers
By fred | July 25, 2008
Last night was the first Thursday to see Flashpoint in place of Swingtown, and there’s no question if was a great move for CBS. Sure Fox still won the night, but that’s because they have their games while other networks have, well, reruns.
Moving on to 10.00, where last week Swingtown had 5.3 million viewers and a 1.6 on the demo. newly relocated Flashpoint performed much better, winning the slot with 6.7 million viewers and a 1.7 on the demo. Not only is that better, but Swingtown had a lead-in with 8.8 million viewers whereas this week’s rerun of CSI was only followed by 7.4 million viewers.
While Flashpoint is a clear winner, at the same time Fear Itself is clearly a looser, with only 3.2 million viewers, 2 million less viewers than ABC’s Hopkins. Then again, given how every episode pretty sucks that’s understandable.
