Ratings: Smallville Puts Up Big-League Numbers
Another competitive Thursday in ratings. Take note:
" Talk about your
superlatives:
Smallville introduced the Justice League to an audience of 5.25 million total viewers, representing a season high.
" Perhaps goosed by America's Globes win,
Ugly Betty (14.1 million) surged 700,000 heads to have its best outing since Oct. 5.
" NBC's entire comedy lineup learned a lesson about, "What goes
up... ":
Earl was down 1.2 mil week-to-week,
The Office plunged 1.7 mil, the musical
Scrubs saw 1.35 mil "tune" out, and
30 Rock lost a mil.
" Drawing 21.89 million,
Grey's Anatomy (medical show, ABC, check it out sometime) edged out
CSI (21.28 mil) in the rivals' first legitimate head-to-head in
ages.
Supernatural (3.38 mil) did its best numbers since Oct. 26.
" Opposite an
ER rerun,
Shark (15 mil) bested
Men in Trees (10.7 million, up 450K).
