Continuing comparisons, cause I still find them interesting. The numbers
are based on Weekly Nielsen finals. The numbers represent viewers, in millions. Comparing the top WB shows to the top UPN shows (3 million plus) Sorted by average for new episodes I might or might not do one next week (for this week). Basically, the vast majority of the shows I've been tracking have done their season or series (or series that became season) finales through the week ending May 14. 0424 0501 0508 New Vwrs Ave Rpt Vwrs Ave Eps Ave Seventh Heaven WB 5.3 5.7 7.6 22 123.8 5.63 8 27.3 3.41 30 5.02 Gilmore Girls WB 5.0 5.1 5.3 22 119.6 5.44 11 31.9 2.90 33 4.59 Smallville WB 4.3 4.8 4.9 22 116.9 5.31 10 30.4 3.04 32 4.60 ANTM UPN 4.9 4.3 4.9 23 114.1 4.96 1 2.0 2.00 24 4.84 Sprntrl Tue-9 WB ---- ---- ---- 16 76.0 4.75 8 18.2 2.28 24 3.93 EHC UPN 3.0 3.2 3.3 22 101.6 4.62 12 42.1 3.51 34 4.23 WWE Smackdown UPN 3.7 3.2 3.8 35 147.9 4.23 -- ---- ---- 34 4.23 BATG (Th-900) WB ---- ---- ---- 8 33.6 4.20 1 1.7 1.70 9 3.92 Everwood (Thu) WB ---- ---- ---- 9 35.1 3.90 3 5.3 1.77 12 3.40 Charmed WB 3.2 3.4 3.7 21 80.3 3.82 8 18.3 2.29 29 3.40 Sprntrl Thu-9 WB 3.3 4.0 ---- 6 22.4 3.73 4 10.4 2.60 10 3.28 Everwood M-9 WB 3.8 3.7 4.3 7 26.5 3.79 -- ---- ---- 7 3.79 Everwood M-8 WB ---- ---- ---- 1 3.6 3.60 -- ---- ---- -- ---- Girlfriends UPN R3.0 2.9 3.5 21 75.0 3.57 12 33.1 2.76 33 3.28 Reba WB 2.5 3.1 ---- 22 78.4 3.56 8 23.5 2.94 30 3.40 Grlfrnds M930 UPN ---- ---- 3.5 1 3.5 All of Us UPN 2.7 2.4 2.9 20 66.9 3.35 12 33.9 2.83 32 3.15 Half and Half UPN 2.8 2.8 ---- 20 67.2 3.36 12 30.9 2.58 32 3.07 One on One UPN 2.2 2.3 2.4 21 62.9 3.00 12 29.8 2.48 32 2.82 One Tree Hill WB 2.9 3.1 ---- 22 66.6 3.03 7 13.6 1.94 29 2.78 Monday Comparisons 0424 0501 0508 New Vwrs Ave Rpt Vwrs Ave King of Queens CBS R7.0 7.5 8.0 21 223.5 10.64 12 106.4 8.87 How I Met Your Mother CBS 7.6 7.2 8.1 21 209.2 9.96 11 90.0 8.18 Old Christine (830) CBS ---- ---- ---- 2 20.7 10.35 -- ---- ---- Old Christine (930) CBS 11.8 11.9 11.9 8 100.6 12.66 -- ---- ---- Seventh Heaven WB 5.3 5.7 7.6 22 123.8 5.63 8 27.3 3.41 Everwood (Mon-800) WB ---- ---- ---- 1 3.6 3.60 -- ---- ---- Everwood (Mon-900) WB 3.8 3.7 4.3 7 26.5 3.79 -- ---- ---- One on One UPN 2.2 2.3 2.4 21 62.9 3.00 12 29.8 2.48 All of Us UPN 2.7 2.4 2.9 20 66.9 3.35 12 33.9 2.83 Girlfriends UPN R3.0 2.9 3.5 21 75.0 3.57 12 33.1 2.76 Grlfrnds M930 UPN ---- ---- 3.5 1 3.5 Half and Half UPN 2.8 2.8 ---- 20 67.2 3.36 12 30.9 2.58 For what it's worth (not a lot) that's the first time that HIMYM has had a higher number than KoQ since the fall. Girlfriends had its season finale, the other UPN shows have eps to go before they sleep. Tuesday Comparisons 0424 0501 0508 New Vwrs Ave Rpt Vwrs Ave Gilmore Girls (800) WB 5.0 5.1 5.3 22 119.6 5.44 11 31.9 2.90 Gilmore Girls (900) WB ---- ---- ---- -- ---- ---- 2 5.0 2.50 Bones Fox ---- ---- ---- 9 71.8 7.98 5 27.0 5.40 Supernatural WB ---- ---- ---- 16 76.0 4.75 8 18.2 2.28 Pepper Dennis WB 2.1 2.1 2.2 6 13.6 2.27 -- ---- ---- Veronica Mars UPN 1.9 2.1 2.4 5 10.1 2.02 4 5.3 1.33 So, 1) the move of Everwood to Monday worked, 2) the move of Supernatural to Thursday worked, 3) Pepper Dennis didn't.
