Looking at these numbers, it's hard to even distinguish between Friday and Saturday anymore.

These are poor numbers to make that comparison. All repeats + Memorial Day weekend = very low numbers. Tonight will probably look like CW numbers across the board.

Both CBS shows repeat very well and won the night, even over a fresh installment of Dateline!

Not too shocking considering repeats coupled with a holiday weekend.

Its going to be a long summer!

Well, it shows CBS that the 9pm slot is not a death spot after all. Look at the bump GW had in the 9pm hr compared to 8pm.

NBC PROMO FOR NEXT FALL

5th place all the way!

Don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to some of those shows, esp Christian Slater's, Merlin and The Listener. I'll skip the Office spinoff and Knight Rider, just as I never bothered with the shows that spawned them. Still on the fence about Kath and Kim, as I'm not exactly a big sitcom fan.

Marc can just take a break posting Friday numbers for the summer at this rate. Judging by the number of posts on this topic, there isn't much to talk about.

The only thing that caught my attention was how well NBC's Most Outrageous Moments repeats on Friday. If they held off airings and aired new material, they would have been squarely in first place by a large margin.

That and definately CW is going to miss Smackdown once it ends. There is no way the comedies and encores are going to get those ratings on Friday. In fact, they won't even get half of those ratings.

The fact that we saw nothing in terms of content for 3/4 of this just means I have really nothing to say when it comes to the new shows. My Own Worst Enemy looks the best to me, but perhaps that's because its the only series that had real footage. Knight Rider, Crusoe, the Office Spinoff- forget about it. The Philanthropist- what's the point- sounds like they basically tried to script Oprah's Big Give. Merlin- sounds like a better made for tv movie. Kings- again, what's the point. I just notice a reoccurring theme with all of these shows in that they seem to be going after limited audiences. Its almost like they're putting out 5 or 6 more Journeymans, which probably wasn't a terrible series, but premiering after Heroes coupled with having complicated storylines and plots doesn't sound all that appealing.

Don't listen to him Marc. We love your postings, no matter how little the actual Ratings numbers are. Its the interaction we like about the site.

I don't think the numbers are all that bad considering that its was an all-repeat "summer" holiday weekend Friday.

If you think about those numbers, they are a little better than the average Weekday numbers for NBC.

The CBS Repeats Did Not Do That Bad.
