Supernatural

I thought for sure it would be above 3 million. Not a series low for the season finale.

I expected a lot more from both Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy.. They were both low for May Sweeps, weren't they?

Hey Travis, do you have the half-hour breakdowns for both Smallville and Supernatural? Thanks.

Peace!!

Sweet The Office beat Ugly Betty for the full hour in the A18-49 demo.

I know all about the Demo and the 15 extra minutes for GA but CSI total Viewers! 20 Mil!

I just do not understand the ratings system at all. It does kind of bother me that the season finale of Supernatural was so low. What the hell happened?

Peace!!

All the other networks aired their finales against it (excl. FOX) that's what happened and it caused SN's ratings to dive in the process.

Bring on The Office v Canterbury's Law v CSI v GA next season.

What is going on with Supernatural?. I mean, it was renewed so no worries, but what is with those ratings?. Smallville jumped back up a bit, so I thought for sure SN would too. It's the best show on the CW. That's lower than last week. I just don't understand. Maybe SN needs a different slot next season?.

Thank you so much Travis for posting the fast nationals this week.

I think BETTY may be a one season wonder and flame out during its second season.

I actually watched a bit of SPN last night--first time I'd done that in a while. Guess it's my fault.

The main thing that hurt Smallville receently was Fifth Grader and it wasn't on last night. Supernatural's competition was still on and airing finales.

Well...Pisher since you watched SN last night...for the first time, what did you think about it? Just wondering.

Peace!!
