CW Planning Schwartz/Savage, Kevin Williamson & McG Blocks, ‘Nikita’ To Friday?

Kevin Williamson and the duo of Josh Schwartz & Stephanie Savage may be getting their own nights on the CW next season. I hear Schwartz and Savage’s veteran Gossip Girl may be paired with a newly picked up series they produce, small-town medical drama Hart of Dixie, written by Leila Gerstein and starring Rachel Bilson. And the newly picked-up young witch tale The Secret Circle, which Williamson co-wrote  and is executive producing with Andrew Miller, is rumored to get a lunch behind the CW’s top series The Vampire Diaries, which Williamson also co-created and is executive producing. Freshman Nikita, which ran behind Vampire Diaries this season, is expected to move to Fridays, paired with veteran Supernatural. That would give McG a night on the CW too as he executive produces both shows. I also hear One Tree Hill may be held as a backup.

Fringe ended its third season last night in a ho-hum fashion. (Knowing their show is coming back, fans probably didn’t feel any urgency to see the finale right away.) It drew a 1.2 rating in 18-49, down a tenth from … Read More »

Will this further shake CBS’ commitment to scripted programming on Fridays? Last night, a Royal Wedding special at 8 PM (1.7/6, 8.6 million) delivered a rare decisive No. 1 finish in the hour for the network among 18-49 and outranked the network’s scripted entries in the slot this season – … Read More »

RATINGS RAT RACE: CBS Dramas Give Up Top Friday Program Spot For The First Time

Nellie Andreeva

For the first time this season, a CBS drama was not the highest rated program on Friday among adults 18-49. That honor went to ABC’s newsmagazine Primetime: What Would You Do? (1.9/6) which was recently put in the 9 PM to replace originally scheduled new drama Body of Proof. Meanwhile, Teri Hatcher’s guest spot on Smallville as Lois Lane’s mom gave the departing comic book drama (1.3/4, 3 million) a boost to a tie the season high 18-49 number it hit with its season premiere and 200th episode.

UPDATED: Texas Rangers’ series-winning Game 6 of the ALCS on TBS topped the broadcast and cable competition last night with 11.9 million viewers. It was the second most watched telecast ever on TBS behind the previous deciding ALCS championship game between the Red Sox and the Rays in 2008.)

The baseball game had little impact on CBS’ crime Friday lineup, which posted across-the-board increases. All dramas dominated their time slots in 18-49 and total viewers to deliver another Friday win for CBS, No. 5 this season. Medium (1.4/5, 6.5 million) was up 17% in 18-49 from its fast national result last week (up 27% from the series’ final rating, which was adjusted down). CSI:NY (1.9/6, 10.3 million) was up 12%, and newly picked up Blue Bloods (1.8/6, 11.1 million) was up 6%. Each show also added more than 500,000 total viewers. Read More »

It’s not very often that the CW wins an hour of primetime among adults 18-49. The network accomplished just that last night with the 200th episode of Smallville, which led the competition at 8 PM with a 1.3/5, matching its season premiere demo number and hitting a season high in total viewers with 3.2 million. Supernatural (1.2/4, 2.8 million) was also strong, matching its season premiere numbers and finishing tied for second place in 18-49 at 9 PM behind CSI: NY (1.7/6, 9.5 million). CBS’ CSI: NY and Blue Bloods (1.7/6, 10.3 million) were both down from last week, by 11% and 6% Read More »

SECOND UPDATE PM: With the final Nielsen numbers in, the NFL kickoff game between the Saints and the Vikings averaged 27.5 million viewers to become the most-watched regular season primetime NFL game in 14 years.

UPDATED: Last night’s NFL season opener between Super Bowl champions New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings drew a 17.7 overnight rating/28 share – the best for any NFL regular season primetime game in 13 years and the best ever for an NFL kickoff game. The faceoff, a rematch of last year’s NFC Championship Game, was won by the Saints 14-9. It gave a very strong start to the season for the NFL, which faces the possibility of a lockout next year. NBC dominated primetime with a 15.9/26 average in the metered markets, beating the combined delivery of CBS, ABC, Fox and CW. The premiere of the CW’s new Thursday lineup was no doubt affected by the hugely-rated game, though it’s worth mentioning Read More »
