One of the things that will keep ratings high is that for the first time in several seasons there is consistency in the weekly showing of SV. Aren't you at least a little surprised that SV starts again mid-January? Don't you all remember those great years (like last year for instance) when SV was pre-empted again, and again and again till you never knew when it would be on. The CW can be criticized for a lot, especially a lack of promotion, but at least this year, we can count on SV week after week.

My prediction: we will stay around 4-4.5 million for the second half of the season, as long as the quality lasts.

By the way, an awful lot of gloom and doom on this thread. Look at how other shows are faring. SV is doing great! Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. That's what we have in every area this year, and that's what we need for a season 9.

Clarification - I think the show will hover AROUND or BELOW 4 million AFTER Legion. (3.5-4.05 range). We're not gonna be close to cracking 5mil as we have been the first half.

:confused:

We haven't been close to cracking five million this season. The highest we've been is 4.46 million viewers, and that's still over half a million away.

Unless you mean L+7 numbers?

L+7 for "Bloodline" is 5.02 million. Highest L+7 since last season's "Wrath" (5.12). I have a feeling we'll see a drop for "Abyss" next week, though.

4.18 isn't bad, but it should have been much better. These darn pre-emptions are killing us. :\

Jan. ratings have never been below 4 million except for last season, and that was due to the strike, CW not promoting well, and CW waiting until the last day of Jan. to air SV.

This year we return with the LOSH, penned by a famed comics writer, and it's airing mid-Jan., there's no strike (hopefully), and CW already promoted it.

I'm not saying we're guaranteed to return above four million, but I think the chances are much higher for that to happen this year than last year.

I don't know how you can blame the strike for Smallville's performance last year. We were the only show airing new episodes at the time most other shows ran out.

Most of the shows were off air during that time, including several shows on the CW. Most people probably would have assumed that all of their shows were off air due to the strike, and didn't tune it. It's not like the CW does a great job of promoting the show anywhere besides on their network. :\

Well, mostly I mean the momentum toward that. I've kind of had my own "goal" set at 5m, and thought with continued momentum we'd reach it. With this break, I don't think it's reachable until maybe the last episodes of the season (With the final 7).

BREAK DEFINITION:
Break in Clois story - BATFINX (Sorry, I don't know how to quote after I already quoted) made an excellent point - Although we maybe doing "Superman" things with bigger villains, Lana is anti-Superman and entirely Superboy, so it's counter-productive of the direction the show has committed to this season. By placing Lana in the show without Lois we are essentially advertising for Superboy despite all other efforts to show this is now the Superman mythos THAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR---I think that's a big part of it too. The audience has gotten over the whole Superboy concept. That became evident in season 6 & 7. Ratings platued this season and began to consistently climb (Damn football for slowing momentum) in large part because they were telling the story we've been waiting for, that of Superman. Casual "Swing Viewers" are not going to come back while Lana is in the picture because the SUPERMAN MYTHOS is linked with LOIS LANE. All the villains in the Superman universe come second the the juxtaposition of Lois with Superman. So, I don't think it will deliver the audience that will truly make the difference until episode 15 and then start to climb.

Furthermore, the fact they they throw Lois & Clark in everyones face, and then suddenly plug lana (Admittedly, for a seemingly great and needed story and re-direction of the story through CLARK'S eyes), the "Swing viewer" will be that much harder to be pulled back into watching it because of the perception of what's going on via commercials, etc. where Lana is there and not Lois (Again, Superboy instead of Superman).

Yay! The Live+7 broke 5 mil.:)
Thanks for the info ClarkyBoy14!

Wow! I just noticed that SV's Live+7 ratings consistently gain around 600,000 viewers. Interesting. Loyal fans, I guess.

Oh, I see. I think that if it hadn't been for the pre-emptions, and "Abyss," it would have been possible for "Bride" to hit, or near five million.

But I guess we'll never know now.

I asked this before, but never got an answer...does live + 7 include every viewer who has cable and can watch on DVR, or just nielson families?

Also, I think the bad news with the "+7" aspect is that those are the people who watch it and fast forward through commercials. Therefore, from a $ (Advertising) perspective, they are less important to the CW.

I'm thinking just Nielsen are counted.
They are finding that even when you FF TV ads that the products will stick in our minds, if the product is placed in the middle of the screen. Sounds sorta like subliminal advertising. So they are doing studies, and with more in-show product placement, I think the Live+7 ratings will start to be more important. Have you seen them? Some shows gain 3 and 4 mil. viewers. IMO It has to become relevent.

i believe by jan., SV will break 5 mil. think about it, we have not had a mid season
cliff hanger like this for quite sometime. there going to be lots of people glued to the screen come jan 15. Plus if he flies or puts on the suit(which i doubt) this season ratings will be through the roof. If only they would spend more time promoting the show we'll have at least 5.2mil every week. and if the writers continue writing like this, rating can't get any lower. just my 2 cents.

Hmm...the subliminal advertising thing is very interesting. So, it will change advertising in that it needs to keep a certain image up for x amount of time to likely be "seen" by the viewer when they fast forward. That could probably even be more strong than regular advertising.

Yes, product placement advertising is relevant. Smallville should do more of that.

The promotion thing is really odd. The only thing I keep thinking is that the network is purposefully not advertising for it to see how well it will do without the advertising budget it normally has. Then, they'll have more money to throw at TW for S9 and they can do that confidently by taking from the set aside ad budget.

4.18 - ouch! Well, at least it is better than last week. I have high hopes for our "leafy little hamlet."

I wonder though, how did the other CW shows fare? Is Smallville still on top for scripted shows? Overall?

Thanks to everyone who posts this information. I find it extremely interesting, but I have a difficult time finding the info - you all are lifesavers!

Depends. If it's blatantly cheesy, such as "Hero," then NO more product placement. But I don't mind a few things here and there. At least it pays the bills and makes L+7 numbers more relevant. :p

Btw, has there been any product placement yet this season?

I'm a literature major but I know the way of rounding is the way you mentioned. I'm ninety nine point nine percent sure and well, by using the rounding formula, that's a hundred percent. ;)

Although I think Timester is right about the direction of the show being positive (And probably best for the story), I've got to side with you on the ratings slump. We'll get our best ratings out of Legion and then it's downhill until Lois' return. Mind you, it'll take two eps at least for them to start climbing to current season avg, but they definitely will starting with Infamous.


Why? Lois/Clois was pimped for Bride in the commercails, heck Lois got more screen time then the Bride and the ratings didn't soar (they were good) but just average.

Yes, I believe there will be a drop in ratings but I don't think it's because of no Lois but because of the return of Lana (people just don't like her) and most likely won't care to see her storyline play out. Especially if there is gonna be Clana romance. Major hit then. (I don't think they'll go their though)

Just for clarification the (possible) dip in ratings after Legion will be because of Lana's storyline. Just my opinion.

I think the CW did a good job of airing Smallville's first 10 episodes of S8 all in successive weeks. When they would go 3 weeks and have 1 episode in December, ratings always seemed to suffer b/c their promotion is lousy. I watch Smallville every week and a lot of years with all the holiday stuff going on, I'd have to look on this site to see what week the December episode was on. This was a great cliffhanger and hopefully the ratings will show it.

The ratings have been pretty consistant actually. Only dropping out of 4mil with Abyss.

If you have a show like Smallville which is watched by mostly males and you go up against the NFL(Even if it is on the NFL Network), you are going to take a hit in the ratings. Especially when the Steelers are the second most popular team in the country behind the Cowboys.

Great point. That's why I think the "Live + 7" ratings paint a more accurate picture of how many millions of people watch Smallville. Many people watch football or Survivor or something huge like that live, and then DVR Smallville to enjoy later without commercial interruption.

David, it's the wave of the future and they can't control it, just like the situation with the music industry. They will have to figure out a way around such as product placement like someone mentioned. For cult favorites like Smallville, it's the "Live + 7" numbers that show the true viewership.

Hmmm.

Hmmm.....indeed. ;) I think this just bolsters the fact that Kara does have an audience on the show (when provided quality writing material), and her presence was what boosted that episode's ratings. The CW and Smallville producers would do well to take note that even this excitement-filled mid-season finale did not surpass Bloodline's ratings. :)

That's not to knock this episode at all. I liked it and thought it was good overall.

11-25-2008, 06:52 AM
You're actually both right. Yes, it's about Clark and about his destiny and moving forward and so falling for Lois Lane is a big part of that. Clark is becoming more proactive and being the hero he was destined to be. He's a reporter at the Planet now and he and Lois have been doing the flirtation tango. It's all connected. Clois is the ship of destiny and the audience knows that, just as they know he's a mild-mannered reporter for a great Metropolitan newspaper. So it's not just about shippers so much as that particular ship represents another step forward towards his destiny.

I don't think it's Lana's return or Lois's absence, per se, that could kill ratings in January, rather it's how long it will be drawn out and how it's handled. If they try and rekindle the romantic Clana, then sure there's going to be viewers who'll run screaming believing they've been tricked yet again. They have no reason to believe it will end for real this time if it drags on episode after episode with no Lois in sight. And it won't be helped by a two month hiatus and a shipper heavy show like Bones being up against Smallville in January. That was a smart move by FOX. In January that network dominates because of American Idol and so 20 million viewers will see ads for Bones compared to two or three million who'll see ads for Smallville. I hate to be pessimistic, but I don't see any light at the end of this particular tunnel.

Well put. ITA.

Well, you're right for about 1/2 of the USA. Don't forget about Florida, Hawaii, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, South Carolina, Mississippi and all those places. Ya here?

To be contrary, I have to say regarding some of these places, that for example, as was said already, northern California and the high deserts of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada can be freezing. The Grand Canyon gets snow and Death Valley is not only as hot as the sun, but will kill you just as easily at night due to the cold. And with Oregon and Washington, there is nothing like a cold rain that doesn't end to wear you down.

That's all right since ratings for all programs are down somewhat this year. The important thing is that Smallville keeps gaining viewers in the weeks to come and with the good word of mouth I expect us to stay above 4 million for the year.

If Smallville averages a 4 million or higher for the whole season, I think it is safe to say.

Survivor was up against Smallville and they won't be back in January. I agree Bones could be troublesome but this diehard Smallville fan won't be watching Bones just like I didn't watch Survivor even though I am a Survivor fan. I guess we will have to see how loyal Smallville fans are.

Season 7 was really up and down! S8 has been alot more consistent. It's funny how the Live+7 audiences are really consistent for both Seasons. S7 was about 500,000 more and S8 has been
about 600,000 more Live+7 gains.

Smallville Fans are loyal:)

I noticed after I did the graphs that during Season 7 that the ratings never went up for more then two weeks in a row.

Between episode Kara and Cure was the only time that the ratings stayed on an upward trend. The rest of the year it would go up then drop, all the while staying on a general downward path

Season 8 on the other hand, has had a nice steady upward progression since Toxic. Take out the football pre-emptions and who knows how high the Season 8 ratings average would be.

If it has commercials in the episode, they will absolutely be looked at by the CW, because they get advertising $ from there. Watching the show on the CW can't hurt. It can only help. Speaking of which, great idea, I'm going to "watch" the show from my laptop now.

I am not extremely worried about Bones. I am a Bones fan but I will always chose SV. OTH, the Clana storyline of the next four epis does have me slightly worried ratings wise. However, I think that it is clear at this point that SV has a loyal core fan base of around 4 million viewers. These are the people, like both of us, who will chose SV over other shows. Anyway, K-siters, let's get the word out about Legion.

Well I live in the central valley which is just 37 miles from the state capital and it gets down to around 19 - 20 degrees in the winter (about 109+ in the summer) and we do see some light snow from time to time. But we all seem to enjoy it!!!

I'm thinking just Nielsen are counted.
They are finding that even when you FF TV ads that the products will stick in our minds, if the product is placed in the middle of the screen. Sounds sorta like subliminal advertising. So they are doing studies, and with more in-show product placement, I think the Live+7 ratings will start to be more important. Have you seen them? Some shows gain 3 and 4 mil. viewers. IMO It has to become relevent.

I think that its relevant now as the numbers show that we the viewers want to watch a show when we want too and not have to watch it when the networks would like us too!

Since I have DirecTv and I am sure many others do also is what we watch is not counted even if I use the system DVR, so I went out and brought a TiVo unit. I watch the show during the week so that it is counted and I also watch it on Apple TV which I think gets a count somewhere along the way.

But the Live+ 7 are counted I am sure of that fact. I think it's what saved Smallville last year and gave us a season 8.

Take Care,

Jack ;)

puddinpiester
11-30-2008, 10:54 AM
Wonder if multiple viewings get counted multiple times?? I also use TiVo to time shift and hope that my SV viewing is counted.

I am also a Bones fan, but will quickly forego Bones for SV. I will probably tape Bones, but will not watch it until after the Live 7 week period is over so as not to allow my viewing of Bones to compete with SV ratings wise.

I have no idea whether or not there will be a season 9, but I intend to do my part. Plus, I want SV to go out with a bang; not a whimper. I figure that a ratings bang will be good for those responsible for making SV a success and I would like to help them if I can.

LuckyLois

The main problem with Abyss was it was prempted by a football game in the northeast where I live so it lost a large share of the live ratings. I think it Bride suffered the same in the TX area for the same reason. SV has had some tough hurdles with the ratings and they are still the strongest show for the CW.

It will be really sad if Tom leaves, but I refuse to let it get me down and look forward to an amazing season so far! p.s. Allison held out too and they must have made her happy so we can't blame Tom if he wants more creative control and $$.

"Abyss" L+7's are the lowest since "Apocalypse" (4.29 million), but I wasn't really expecting them to be too high. I hope "Bride" has a nice boost.

Because I'm bored...

Here is how the repeat of "Odyssey" faired in total viewership on the CW for the week of 11/24-11/30. Bear in mind that Smallville and Supernatural both aired on Thanksgiving, a lower-rated night.

1. One Tree Hill - 2.22 million viewers
2. Everybody Hates Chris - 2.10
3. The Game - 1.99
4. Smallville (R) - 1.81
5. Supernatural (R) - 1.71
6. Everybody Hates Chris (R) - 1.59
7. The Game (R) - 1.51
8. One Tree Hill (R) - 1.40
9. The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course (movie) - 1.25
10. Jericho (R) - 1.22
11. Stylista (R) - 1.00
12. How To Deal (movie) - 0.95
13. Stylista (clip show) - 0.79

So that makes Smallville the most watched repeat of the week. ;)

I have a feeling Tom wants more time off, more than anything. He's worked 9 months out of the year, usually 6 days a week and alot of long hours., for almost 8 yrs. I don't blame him, I just love Smallville so much.

With the steady ratings, I thought for sure a S9. Still hoping:)

Here's how that "Toxic" repeat faired in total viewership against the rest of the CW's lineup for the week of Monday, December 8, 2008 - Sunday, December 14, 2008.

1. Gossip Girl - 2.99 million viewers
2. Smallville (R) - 2.50
3. Supernatural (R) - 1.98
4. Privileged (special night) - 1.91
5. Everybody Hates Chris - 1.70
6. Everybody Hates Chris (R) - 1.52
7. Stylista - 1.32
8. Stylista (R) - 1.20
9. 90210 (R) - 1.18
10. Spaceballs (movie) - 1.17
11. Privileged (R) - 1.06
12. Family Entertainment Awards (special) - 0.94
13. Jericho (R) - 0.88

Smallville had the most watched repeat and beat out the following original programming: Privileged, Stylista, Everybody Hates Chris, and the Family Entertainment Awards.

In the final numbers, "Instinct" was at 2.132 million viewers, which would put it behind an encore of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. I'll have the full list up sometime next week, maybe.

Still no L+7 numbers for "Bride," and they're not even sure if they'll get them. :\

Here is how the repeat of "Instinct" did against the rest of the CW's programming in total viewership for the week of Monday, December 15, 2008 - Sunday, December 21, 2008.

1. Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (R, special) - 2.44 million viewers
2. Smallville (R) - 2.13
3. Supernatural (R) - 2.07
4. Gossip Girl (R) - 1.61
5. Everybody Hates Chris (R) - 1.42
6. Stylista - 1.40
7. The Three Amigos! (movie) - 1.36
8. Everybody Hates Chris (R, 9:30) - 1.33
9. The Game (R) - 1.31
10. The Game (R, 9:00) - 1.27
11. One Tree Hill (R) - 1.15
12. 90210 (R) - 1.11
13. Privileged (R) - 0.93
14. Jericho (R) - 0.91

So Smallville didn't have the most watched repeat this week, but it still came in second for the week and beat an original episode of Stylista.

Since Smallville repeats usually get between 1.7-2.5 million viewers in its regular timeslot, I'm thinking the CW should pull Jericho repeats from Sundays at 7 and start airing repeats of Smallville from the early seasons.

DVR Data Delayed, Will Post When/If Available
Posted on 23 December 2008 by Bill Gorman
We have no ETA on when we will (or if we will) see the required Live and Live+7 data to be able to calculate the numbers for our regular DVR viewing posts.

{The delays haven't gone unnoticed}:
When Nielsen has delays with the release of the most recent batch of DVR data (for the week of November 17-23) it impacts not just third world websites like us, but big networks who pay big bucks for the data like Fox.

Well, considering that last week's episode of Smallville was neither Christmas themed nor a new episode, I'd say the show's repeat ratings were fairly consistent with this season's other repeats. I know I was busy on Christmas day, so I did not get to watch SV or SN. I have a feeling that was the case for many.

I can't wait to see SV's ratings for January 15th! That will be a big deal, methinks.

I hope the January 15 ratings are big! Smallville is also lucky, because the CW's Monday through Wednesday shows will have already been airing for a week, so that will have people back to the CW and seeing promos for new Smallville episodes during something other than repeats.

And no problem. :)

That extra week of promotion should be helpful - as long as The CW actually promotes the show. I was shocked to see a promo for 90210 on Fuse (a cable music channel), last night. I never see Smallville promos on other networks.... but I would hope the network would at least promote the show on it's own network, so we'll see.

If I've read correctly, however, Legion's ratings should reflect a season high for the mere fact that comic book writer, Geoff Johns, has quite a following. Those viewers combined with SV's loyal watchers and any other potential channel zappers should *hopefully* give Smallville that little extra boost it's been needing to reach 5 million viewers.

I sure can't wait to find out!

Yeah. The CW seems to be excited about it, as I think they've made more promos for "Legion" than any other Smallville episode (even more than "Justice," I think).

I'm not surprised. Back in September, I saw promos for Gossip Girl and 90210 on Soap Net and Oxygen (No, I don't watch those channels, I just happened to be passing through the channels. :p)

Here are the numbers for the Abyss re-run.

1.85 M .................. 0.7/2


Looks like Live +7 numbers won't be given by Nielsen anymore.

This is from TV by the Numbers:

1. Nielsen stopped making any calculated DVR viewing numbers regularly available free to the press in late 2007. They could easily have still provided those numbers to paying customers, I’m not sure.

2. We continued calculating the DVR viewing numbers ourselves using Live and Live+7 viewing data from Nielsen until November, 2008 when Nielsen stopped providing those numbers free to the press. We calculated top DVR viewed shows for both absolute viewer gain and % gain and included both top 20 lists in our posts.


Nielsen has also changed their method of calculating Live+7 numbers, which will hurt the CW shows.

How wil it hurt them?

Instead of posting the largest percentage increase from Live viewing to Live+7, they now take the top ten largest increases from Live to Live+7, then they average it from there.

Example: Top ten increase viewers from Live to Live+7 by total viewers.

Heroes increased by 3.5 million
Grey's Anatomy increase by 3.2 million
and so on.

Smallville usually has close to 1 Million in Live+7 viewers, but that isn't enough viewers to be included by Nielsen because it isn't in the top Ten of Live+7 viewers.

Does this make any sense to any of y'all, because I went to Happy Hour!

If it doesn't I'll come back tomorrow and post a legible post to explain this bull crap.

I do have a link that shows the top 20 shows according to the internet, and that includes iTunes, Amazon, and many other sites. Basically it shows what TV series was most popular on the net.:cool:

OK, wait I thought of a pretty good example


Legion has 4.7 million viewers (that's my guess by the way).
Legion has 1.5 million Live+7 viewers.

Most would think that Legion would have to be included in the top Ten percentage increase, but you would be wrong because Legion's raw number increase (1.5 mil) wouldn't be enough to make it into the top Ten increase, therefore it would never be considered even thought percentage wise it kicked ass.



Basically what Nielsen is doing is keeping ALL CW shows off of any lists that they provide.

:rolleyes:

I'm really getting tired of him constantly ripping Smallville. 2.30 million viewers is more than what a NEW episode of Privileged had and almost as much as what the series premiere of 13: Fear Is Real had. It's also higher than Everybody Hates Chris's, Stylista's and The Game's averages. Berman just needs to give it a rest.

james, we were able to get the numbers again. As to getting past numbers, I’m not going to push our luck.

I'm thinking "Bride's" Live+7 would have been close to 1 mil. more, like "Abyss" was. They were both pre-empted. Darn, I wanted to complete my Chart and post it on the General Ratings thread:(

----- Added 14 Minutes later -----

I posted it anyway, for the curious who are not avid rating's followers like us:D

I'd give it a 4.8 for Live+7's since that seemed to be the consistent number of people Smallville got each week, about 600,000-700,000 more.

UHHHHHH.....Nevermind Tv By the Numbers have Live+7 numbers again, it seems as though they found a way to get numbers again. It also appears as though that they went back to the old format for presenting Live+7 numbers.
Forget every thing I said in my earlier post.:rotfl:

oof!! good news!
I am guesting 4,7 millions for legion and with live+7 over 5 millions ;)

Seems that is 4,696 million


Those aren't the Live+7 numbers for Bride.Those are season to date numbers.

I'll try.
This rating for Bride was the overnight rating always posted the Morning after an episode. Because of all of the Football games, pre-empting Bride, in some markets, the Final rating dropped to 4.19mil. The overnight of 4.77mil is not Bride's Live+7(which we never got), but would probably be a good estimate. We are posting estimates in the "Power" ratings thread.
Maybe, we can find some closure for Bride.:LOL:

Here's what was said the morning after Bride: Posted on 21 November 2008 by Robert Seidman

Note: Smallville and Supernatural fans, the numbers below for your shows are sadly a bit meaningless for now because last night’s NFL Network game between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh aired on the CW affiliated in the Pittsburgh market. The way the overnight numbers are tabulated, even though both Smallville and Supernatural were preempted for the football game, the viewing for the football game in the local Pittsburgh market is counted in the numbers below. The Pittsburgh viewing will be removed from the final numbers and those totals will drop.

tvbythenumbers published only first ten live+7, and there wasn't smallville. so we will never know what was the final rating for Bride

I'm sorry, but the 4,67 of Bride cant be the season Live+7 average, because the average of the nine first episodes was 4,75. If the average of the 10 first episodes was 4,67, it could mean that Bride only have 3,95 millions in the Live+7, and it is impossible, because this episode had 4.19 in the first numbers, and Smallville always grow up more less 0.6 in it's ratings in the Live + 7

So I think that the rating of 8.10 Bride was 4,67, and not the Season Average.

A Hug!

^^^I haven't actually averaged the Season myself. This their calculations, and they could be wrong on their Season averages. But, there is no data out that has Bride's Live+7. Not that I have seen, hence my suggestion that we come to an agreement on an estimate to get some closure.:)
I'll probably never stop looking for the actual rating:lol:
Is that hug for me or do you need a hug?
