I actually sense a potential ratings downfall.

Between the furious Clana folks hating the engagement arc, the furious wrestling fans who will feel ripped off over the lack of Batista, everyone who wants Superman rather than soap opera, the lightswitch from extremely stupid Jimmy to techno savvy Jimmy, and the mini-hiatus before Subterranean, I predict a ratings plummet after this one.

The ratings for this episode should be pretty high to decent, though.

ya i think the ratings would be decent. i bet batista fans were mad you didnt see him till half way thru the episode. maybe just to sucker them into watching the show rather then give them what they wanted quick to get the rating points count for the whole episode lol. ya i did find it funny how chloe was pretty stupid this episode when it came to computer stuff and how jimmy figured out all the radio electronic waves and stuff. martian manhunter i really enjoyed and what we had of batista he did a good job just wish it wasnt the B story. would have kept higher ratings for the rest of the season with wrestling fans if it was the main focus.

anyway does anyone know what the ratings from last nogith are yet

If these hold up in the final ratings, it is a 300,000 viewer jump from last week.

Potentionally more if the final rating goes up.

Not surprising. Everybody clearly wanted to see Batista and Clark. Great job by TPTB deceiving the viewers. They keep this up, they can go 8 seasons easily.

Anyone who saw the trailer for this weeks episode we had assumed the episode was all about Clark/Batista and the thing with the red eyes.

Yet that all lasts for a good five minutes and everything else was about Lana baby drama with Lex.

Which I may add was featured in the trailer for this episode for like two seconds.

TPTB knew people wouldn't had watched if this episode was about Lexana and their baby drama.

I would expect the wrestler guy to bring in a slight bump. And with the promotion, I'm sure people tuned in thinking they were getting a fight.

Boy, were they duped.

Yeah, you see, they can get away with having lexana types of previews in the second half of the season once the show gets picked up, but for this episode, they basically cheated because they need the ratings to hold up. Just look at Hypnotic last season. There is no way they could've gotten away with a preview like that during the first 8 episodes. Even Thirst had a better promo than Hypnotic, and Thirst was pretty bad.

I think the ratings fell sharple last week as a protest to the Green Arrow/Lois story line. A couple of shows would have been enough.

The trend does seem to be for GA episodes to draw in less ratings than the ones promoting Clark or Lex.

I am enjoying the GA, but I'm not sure that he's living up to the hype being put out about everyone's watching for him :confused:

ya i dont get why mislead anything. they want to keep viewers and showing them what they wnt to see in the trailer will keep them for an episode but may not come back. they probably should have hinted manhunter and not show him in the trailer and show half of batista and parts with lex in the static zone.

the only thing i can see keeping the new viewers with the show is the martian manhunter arc. unless if they like all the mushy stuff.

its good that the ratings went up a bit tho. looked like fallout had the most and i agree that so far thats been the best zoner episode so far.

Okay, the CW is the combination of The WB and UPN. So there are more stations airing the CW shows, right ? So how come the rating aren't higher ? More stations = more viewers but it looks like there are less viewers than last season, which isn't, in my opinion, satisfying.

Kal-ed

11-17-2006, 12:56 PM

nope some stations droped WB and UPN and never picked up The CW, so actually as strange as it sounds there are considerably less stations with The CW. There are intire counties, if not states, that dont get Smallville.

11-17-2006, 01:52 PM

Everyone should was wanting to be breathless in those last five minutes. NOT.
The ratings are still bad and it couldn't be the waste of another Zoner or MM because we didn't know beforehand it would be a totally Lexana centered episode.

The quality of this episode will have a greater effect on future episode ratings than it did for this one. The good thing TPTB have going for them, is the break. They can hope people forget about some of the stuff that went on earlier and heavily advertise Clark starting to fulfill his destiny right before the break ends. They will have to follow through, no more bait and switch.

I'm guessing that they promoted the "fight" because they know that Lexana doesn't bring in any viewers and that it's extremely unpopular. So they had to basically mislead the audience in what the episode was really about.

With numbers like this, Smallville could go on for two more years after this one. The ratings being so high compared to the other CW shows might end up being the curse of this show because TPTB will just continue to water down this show to stay on the air.

Naomi

They won't be able to do that because the actors contracts run out after seven years.

They'd have to make it a spin-off because I'm pretty sure that Tom, Michael, and Kristen will all definitely leave after season 7

^^I don't think SV would go beyond S7 either. TW and MR are interested in doing movies now. Besides Al Miles also hinted that there can be only one more season after 6, and I guess it would be plenty to show all things Superman.

If people switched in after seeing Batista and Clark confrontation trailer and got to watch Lexanachimmyville, then I guess ratings for Subterranean would be pretty ugly.

We'll have to wait for the hiatus to be over before we get some decent Smallville..

I agree most wanted to see batista/clark those 2 were barely in the episode,yet static was promoted as if it was based around them.Tptb messed up a potential good villan,I would have luv to see more from batista/clark.I was actually suprise we had a fotw & a zoner,but even then they have had the zoner the main plot/villan of static and the fotw as the backstory.Its like clark is gettin pushed aside til justice smh

I'm glad that the ratings went up. It is really to bad that the episode was promoted the way it was. Smallville had a chance to grab more viewers that tuned in for Batista and got robbed of a big fight. I've been with Smallville since day one and I even felt a little cheated and I don't mind Lexana that much.

No dosen't happen that way in fact the CW does not cover all of what the WB did. There are places in the US that can't see the show.

One thing is that all of us that have Directv and Dish Network are not counted for the any of the ratings that also goes for any of the shows that we watch, (I called and asked them if we were counted).

So what you are seeing or not a full count of the numbers, since we are not counted there could of been a couple million or more viewers. So we may be up a few more people then what is reported or less depending on the way the numbers are counted.

I'm thinking the ratings have little to do with how good the particular episode is but more to do with how many watched. If the next episodes ratings drop off it might be because many viewers were unimpressed by the previous episode and didn't bother to tune in again. As a result they might have heard they missed a better episode so they tune in the following week. That could explain some of the fluctuations in ratings.

An episodes ratings are based quite a bit on how well the PRIOR episode was received.

If you liked #3, you will tune in for #4 and may even tell your friends, co-workers , etc, so #4, even if it mat have sucked, could get higher ratings then #3, though if #4 sucks major buttocks, #5 will suffer.

Not so....

Fallout was very good episode and received quite well (5.01 million viewers), Rage which followed that episode did poor in the ratings when I thought it was pretty good episode. Ratings for Static (horrible eppy imho) were higher than Rage. I guess it all comes down to how well an episode is promoted will bring in the viewers. Rage was promoted as Green Arrow doing drugs. Static was promoted as a showdown between Clark and Batista (a pz escapee) and Martian Manhunter appearance.

I think it was a mixture of a previous episode and DEFINITELY how Static was promoted. I sure thought I was going to see Clark in some great actions sequences...and got a soap opera instead with approximately 8 mins. of Clark. I watched for Clark because that is what was advertised.

I also tuned in because RAGE showed a really dysfunctional Lex/Lana and thought that was going to be interesting. Than all that was taken away so abruptly that my head is still spinning of what the heck..who is the dark haired girl with the sweet lovey dovey bald guy...Is he really the villian of the story or the sweetheart teddy bear..awwww! Heck I miss the villian..we need a villian. Not a bald casanova.

Ratings for Subterranean are going to be terrible anyway because it's buried right in the middle of the repeats. I don't see how the Lexana will be responsible for a drop, ratings have actually stayed steady so far in spite of early season 6 having plenty of Lexana. If Lexana is so hated, ratings would have dropped after Wither wouldn't they?

Having a hiatus is just a bad idea in my opinion as it means the season will lose momentum, and casual viewers don't always know when it's supposed to be back on. Look at what happened with season 5 after the long hiatus between Cyborg and Hypnotic. And Static didn't even end with a trailer saying when Subterranean was airing, so a lot of people aren't expecting a new episode until January
