Smallsville is probably down because of the Gilmore Girl fans that have now decided to swear off watching any CW shows.
Supernatural will be renewed for next year, but the people hyping that it stayed above 3 million should probably refrain from those statements until after final numbers come out.
Kate Walsh can anchor her own series! I'm not a regular viewer of Grey's but did watch yesterday and she was great -- what is there to anchor anyways, there are other well developed characters on the new show -- I'm still trying to get over Paul Adelstein from his evil turn in Prison break -- and must say it shows what a great actor he is.
I don't think Dancing should stay on Monday, it should go to Tuesdays -- besides Dancing has never been a one hour show for the performances.
It should go to Wed at 9 and men in trees at 10. Lost at 8. Maybe Lost should move to Tuesdays.
Of course no one can say that Grey's - and only Grey's - helped Betty perk up. But the hype was definitely was a factor.

Its competition was basically identical but it looks like 5th grader lost over a million from last week's numbers.

I'm not too worried. Supernatural rarely goes down too much unless there are big preemptions (and I don't know of any preemptions for last night). There's actually a good chance the numbers could go up.
We'll see!

You mean to say there are actually Gilmore fans left after this season?

Supernatural will ABSOLUTELY be renewed next season. Especially now that 7th and GG (and likely VM) have been cancelled.

Glad to see a bounce for Betty after a few below 10 weeks.
ER? Yikes! Obviously GA had a lot of effect there, but who would have thought they'd see the day ER would hit 8 million viewers, especially when it was sometimes hitting 40 million back in its second and third season? I know that NBC is hurting all around, but the network could probably get better numbers with a new series.
I don't see a whole lot to read into the GA numbers. I believe this is where the show has been recently, and hype or not, an aud independent of the show's existing aud could not be expected to tune in just for the spinoff. Around a 5% erosion at 10 in no big deal. Since it looked like a majority of the eve went to the spinoff, overall stable #'s for the 2 hours to me is a slight plus for spinoff.
I thought Walsh was fine. Agree with mushu that she won't be asked to carry series. Walsh-Dungey relationship will probably take heat off of Walsh and be focal point.
SHARK - I've been back at forth with this as to retaining post-CSI. At some point retention figures, etc, have to be laid aside and the show has to be looked at in some absolute sense. The key ? to me is what is this show's growth potential, period?

Walsh is liekly just taking the attention of the spinoff now because she is the character from the show which is being spun.
Look at Boston Legal - several of the season 1 cast members (Spader, Shatner, Lake Bell, Rhona Mitra) appeared in the final episodes of "The Practice", and Alan Shore (Spader) was not the only focal point of the show. He may have gotten first billing and a lot of attention but plenty else went on.

I disagree -- for a two hour episode of mostly the "new" cast/show, this was excellent. I think ABC will be thrilled -- to get numbers higher than a regular Grey's got the last few weeks with the show being 95% the spin=off is a great sign. Also great that A18-49 stayed steady at 9.1 through the 10pm and 10:30 hr.

It would be nice if they ticked up. Last night's epi was great and Jensen Ackles can act. The guy has gotta be one of the best on tv. So, hoping for the numbers to rise.
I like Dancing on the Mon./Tues. rotation due to the fact that it is one of the most competitive nights of the week and abc never seems to do well on that night without football. I also would not move Lost from wed. to another night. Everyone is used to watching Lost on wed. and after having been moved around to 3 different time slots on the same night, I dont think that would be wise.

But this was still an episode of Grey's Anatomy. Diehard fans who look forward to this all day are not going to turn it off midway. What I do agree with, though, is the fact that it held near-steady for the entire 2-hour period. But the ratings themselves are nothing out-of-the-ordinary to brag about.
