Wednesday’s Numbers
By fred | December 20, 2007
After announcing and promoting fresh episodes, CBS went all reruns. Surely people got fooled by this, and since their dramas usually do well in rerun mode, this night was no different and they took the night both in total viewers and on the 18-49 demo.
At 8.00 I sad to see NBC coming first, but really I couldn’t expect repeats of a crap like Back To You to come in first…
Moving on. While a repeat, Criminal Minds did pretty well coming winning its slot with 11.6 million viewers, that is better than its last repeat two weeks ago (9.4 million), but of course it then had Deal Or No Deal and a new Private Practice to compete against. This time, it was Clash Of The Choirs - doing not as good - and Private Practice was a repeat, and repeats and ABC don’t go together well.
The CW had a new episode of Gossip Girl, but I doubt people knew about it, because it tanked below 2 million viewers (1.8 million) ! Of course, instead of a strong America’s Next Top Model for lead-in, it only had Crowned, which doesn’t do well to say the least. In fact, the rich kids of New-York didn’t do all bad : they improved from the lead-in by 100 000 viewers !
At 10.00 the repeat of CSI: New-York did well with 11.2 million viewers, while Journeyman still didn’t performed well. It did improve over its series’ low on Monday, but only by 300 000 viewers, and that wasn’t even enough to get more than 5 million fans watching (4.7 million). Too bad.
