DIVINE INTERVENTION

Turns out, not only is God one of us, he's a Nielsen voter too! The premiere of CBS's spiritual drama Joan of Arcadia pulled in 13.2 million viewers Friday night, trouncing the heavily hyped debut of Alicia Silverstone's NBC romance Miss Match (7.9 million viewers). The rest of CBS's new Friday lineup — which includes the relocated JAG and the new Joe Pantoliano drama The Handler — also fared well, averaging 13.8 and 12.6 million viewers respectively. ABC's Kelly Ripa-Faith Ford family farce Hope & Faith, meanwhile, got off to a strong start with 11.5 million viewers.
