    I don't really understand how these ratings work, apparently. How can the overnights (which I had assumed were basically an educated guess based on early numbers/reports) be sooo far off of the actual final ratings?

      And how in past instances the final ratings were slightly higher than the "guesses", while in this case they've gone down. I don't think I"ve ever seen that before.

        Now, have we learned anything boys and girls?
        Absolutely have to agree with you.

        If the trialer seemed to be about clana is was only to keep those poor brokenhearted clana fans to return for one more episode

        But I didn't see that, I saw that chloe was going to be a big part in this one

          It doesn't make any sense that the ratings went to 4.76 million. The ratings from 8-830 were 4.83 and 5.30 for 830-9pm. They should average out to somewhere between those two. But in the end, the individual ratings don't matter that much anyway. What keeps Smallville on the air for another season is consistency in the ratings, which it has had all season.

            Actually, Trespass got 4.74 in final ratings, so they're pretty much the same.

              The reason for the ratings to drop is quite simple.

              On Thursday, Smallville was pre-empted in a few markets.

              For example, both Indianapolis (#25 market) and Lexington (#63) aired basketball games which are included in the overnights and the fast nationals for televisions viewing the CW, (station viewership not the individual shows).

              Since a higher percentage of televisions have on the CW in those markets, the total viewer numbers and demos are skewed.

              The final numbers take account the markets that didn't air the show and those markets are taken out of the equation to come up with the final total viewers and final demo numbers. Taking those markets out of the equation lowered the total viewers.

                    It's funny how when the numbers were high for this episode, people were saying Chloe brought the numbers in, better than Clana-centric episodes, etc. And as soon as the numbers turned out to be low everyone quiets down about Chloe-centric episodes bringing ratings in.

                    I think it's the opposite about Chloe centric episodes bringing in high ratings, but that's just me.

                      The numbers always say as much about present ep as about the previous one.

                        Last week people were saying thay the premiere episode of Survivor hogged all the ratings. Is it the same case when Freak was aired?

                            Trespass went up against the season premiere of Survivor which got 16.44 million viewers and a new Ugly Betty which got 14.28 million viewers.


                            Freak faced both shows this week.

                            Survivor - 16.08
                            Ugly Betty - 13.66

                            So those shows lost viewers from a week ago. Freak ratings remained consistent with the season average while suffering from preemptions in some of the bigger markets. Without those preemptions I would think that Freak would have received higher ratings.

                              Haven't all Chloe-centric episodes been a success in past seasons also? Chloe is a very popular character and I wouldn't doubt that she was the cause for these high ratings...people just love Chloe!! IMO...

                                I just read that the final ratings figure for Freak was 4.76 million.

                                Trespass netted 4.74 million. So that's just a slight increase of .02 million. I guess Survivor is still trumping us in the ratings

                                The 2nd highest rated eppie so far is Labyrinth (5.00 million) which is Clark-centric.

                                I guess we should have more Clark-centric eppies for good ratings
