TV Ratings for "Stiletto"

[Mickey_Bickey]

There's too many things going on with the playoffs and other shows. A lot of cometition! I don't know too many people who haven't been tuning into see the Celtics and the Bruins in this neck of the woods.

Power/Requiem Reruns

There is your problem.

[PJBoy]

It wasn't only Smallville. Everything was down last night!

There is your problem.

I definitely think they hurt this episode and maybe future ones as well! It was bad enough the first time around, but to put those two episodes on before the final 4 episodes! What were they thinking????


I actually posted this in the Power and Requiem threads last week as well!

I still think that the playoffs are a big contributor to the lower ratings too.

[suzieQ]

The break is definitely a factor, but this isn't even a one month break here and that rating is the lowest of the series, by far, I believe. Does anyone know the exact number of the lowest rated episode prior to "Stiletto"? What was it, "Prototype" that had the lowest rating or something?

Prototype 6.21 - 3.40 million

Traveler 7.14 - 3.40 million

And Bones of course.

Oh man, let's not open that can of worms. The reruns weren't the biggest factor and they weren't directly responsible for the bad ratings. But they DID play a role. There that's all I'm saying about that subject because I can already foresee it offending certain people.

Also true. Supernatural had really, really low ratings too.

i myself was flipping back and fourth between the philly/pens game and smallville gotta watch my hockey over smallville.

I'm not upset about it. Everything went down last night. If everything else had went up and only SV went down, then I'd be concerned. That was not the case and thus clearly because of several factors, most notably the NBA finals I suppose.

It was a good episode.

True. Just added the sports to my list. Seriously, this episode had six major factors against it. Name another episode in the season that had ALL of that going against it.

I don't know if it's all about the competition this time around. That's a huge drop and the break wasn't that long.

I agree. I predicted 3.2 or lower and the competition was fairly average, except for sports taking male demographics in some areas. They chose to run the horrible Power/Requiem episodes prior to Stiletto. Requiem only got 1.8 million viewers as a rerun and was even lower than a rerun of Supernatural, I don't think that's happened very often. I'm sure Beast will do a lot better. At least it got 3 million people who saw the trailer. People shouldn't put on their panic shoes yet

As stated before,

1. First episode back from 3 week hiatus
2. NBA and NHL Playoffs occuring (especially the Lakers and Celtics playing last night)

I recorded smallville to watch the Lakers and Jazz game. I'm sure many other people did the same.

[LoveHurts38]

I hate sports except Football season****Go Cowboys*****

[LoveHurts38]

Well, as long Doomsday get a very high rating!!!! CW promote Smallville it's your bread and butter. A week ago I saw on the cover of Rolling Stones the GG chicks**rolls eyes**

Well, to be fair, they did air a "Stiletto" trailer after "Eternal" so people did see it. "Infamous" was a problem because no trailer was shown after "Requiem".
