This is a sticky topic.

2.6 for "Patriot" is really good, considering. Movie night does impact ratings -- but, in this case, I'm thinking it may have hurt other shows more than it hurt SV.

WooHoo! I hope so!
...and "Luthor" too, while we're at it. A certain cameo might make people tune in....Comment

No kidding. The only episodes that I remember running in December are: "Lexmas" and "Gemini." Other than that, it's rare to see an episode run in December (there could be others and I just don't remember). ...but two episodes this time, what a nice treat for us! I hope they get good ratings, too especially since most people will really be in holiday mode.
All these episodes share the fact they were the worst rated episode of the Season up to that point

The ratings also dropped I believe last year from "Idol" to "Pandora." This is just a very busy time of year. A lot of movies are opening. I imagine that Harry Potter did have an influence on people watching the episode live last night.
I'm as die hard as they come and even I considered DVRing the episode last night to go see Harry Potter.Comment

The numbers
This still matters for Smallville in advertising revenues. November is the month rates are based on for Jan - March for both the CW and the local stations. February translates into rates for April - June.
It may also matter in the future of the Smallville franchise. Does this cast rate well enough to carry a movie? Are they overexposed at this point to where a movie would not be a draw since the series has lost so many viewers since the inception? I'm not saying it has but these are the questions that get raised.
Should interest pick up - and by the finale you're up to 4 or 5 million - that will make execs sit up and notice. It will tell if TW has the draw power to be the next Superman.Comment

2.6 mil thats great! Its better than I thought it would be. I thought HP movie opening and it being the holiday season would do more damage. Smallville is still getting solid number with all these challenges. Go Smalville!!Comment

Piratically everyone at my work was talking about Harry Potter on Friday. If people didn't go to the Thursday midnight show, they were going Friday night. So, under those circumstances, 2.6 if fine IMO.Comment

I guessed right, first time ever! 2.6 million (at least fast nationals.) Great ratings and the streak continues that ever episode this season has higher ratings that it's S9 counterpart. Course final ratings might go down due to preemptions but hopefully not by much.Comment

EDIT: I looked it up; they are also December episodes. Hmm. Well, I know I watched them all (minus Jitters, because I didn't know the show existed until 3rd season) when they aired.
Personally, even if an episode aired during the holidays, I scheduled time to watch the show. Now that I work on Friday (it used to be school on Thursdays, now it's work on Fridays - I just can't win), I have to program the old VCR to be able to watch, but I understand that people just get busy. I wonder if they'll (especially the Nielsen family viewers) be too busy to watch the December episodes live this time around. I mean Luthor looks like it will be fantastic... could hype actually help its ratings?Last edited by smallvillerocks45; 11-21-2010, 01:34 AM.Comment
