TV Ratings for Phantom

[warriorrenegade]

Wow actually made it into the 4mil range... So my guess it'll reach 4.10 mil in final rating? We'll see.

[F-Stop Blues]

atleast it broke 4.

[LoisL]

Phew! Nice to see the ratings climb back out of the mediocre 3s. But I guess I should hold the relief until the final ratings come in.

[niki]

It should increase, they still have to show the finale on the A Channel in Canada tonight at 8pm, so it better not be finalized just yet!

[myankskent]

That's a good rating. Considering the decline this season, they rebounded at the end. I'm sure that the ratings for the start of next season will be higher. That's usually how it happens, the first half of the season is always better than the second half.

[Bosrudorfer]

LOL I was right (I said it would be near 4).

4.01 is pretty bad for a finale isnt it?

All these episodes did better:
Zod......................4.96*
Sneeze.................4.52*
Wither..................4.88*
Arrow...................4.71*
Reunion...............4.79*
Fallout.................5.01*
Rage...................4.46*
Static...................4.70*
Subterranean........4.31*
Hydro..................4.68*
Justice.................5.26*
Labyrinth..............5.00*
Crimson.................4.91*
Trespass...............4.74*
Freak....................4.76*
Promise................4.69*
Combat................4.07*

And it only beat:
Nemesis..............3.88*
Noir....................3.59*
Prototype...........3.43*

^^ I forgot, they are going to reshow it on Sunday @ 8pm too.

[jimmyolsenblues]

I am happy with a 4 million number after prototype I was worried.
3.4 to 4.0 million viewers, I will take it, I will.

[wolverine316]

It is sad that we are relieved that Smallville barely made it over 4 million people.

It's good that Smallville picked up number in the second half hour. Supernatural actually lost a few in second half hour.

Ratings

I really don't understand why they haven't advertised Smallville this season. What is that about? I used to hear it on the radio, or other forms of ads but now it's just advertised on the CW. Maybe they are working with a smaller budget. Does anybody know what's deal? But anyway, Least it was picked up for next year.

[boywithbluehanger]

Yep the ratings suck majorly...that's not news. 4 mill is bad by ANY standards.

But at least now that Smallville has CW backed into a corner it can't be kicked off of the network.

4 mil certainly isn't bad by CW standards, since it's fledgling network who gets mostly low numbers in the first place. You have to look at it from the proper perspective, and I know there are folks here who can throw numbers at you that show 4 mil not being all that bad for CW. Now 3 mil, that was worrisome, hopefully it keeps up the trend of 4 mil or more, then we'll be fine.

I think they put too much time and energy into doing these online director's cuts, online previews, and only heavily promoting key episodes (Justice and Promise) and they forgot that they have to build viewers through promotion the rest of the season too. Key episodes don't do squat if people don't know that something interesting is coming on next week or the week after.

Maybe low ratings will bring the best out of Al/Miles in season 7

Here in Seattle I heard and seen alot of ads for SV both on popular radio stations and on the CW station.
