For all I know, encores of "Farmer Wants A Wife" is a better lead-in to an all new "Farmer Wants A Wife."
In the FAST NATIONALS, the highest household rating that "FWAW" got was a 1.8/3 and the lead in was a "FWAW" rerun. And as Marc posted here last week, "FWAW" averaged 2.45 million viewers compared to "Top Model" rerun/all new "FWAW" CW line-up (1.61 million viewers).

NBA Finals is going to be huge in the ratings. All of the buzz tonight is on the matchup. I wouldn't be surprised if it doubles both FI and Swingtown's numbers.
+FWAW does much better with a full night. Last week was like in the mid 2 millions i believe (or the week before) +13 - i don't know where it is! i was actually looking forward to watching it! May ms. ostroff decided women 18-34 wouldn't watch so she canned it?! Fear Itself! on NBC! Criminal Minds did Well! Fox is the network to beat right now!

I agree that a double up of Farmer (encore/new) is the best way to program. However, the difference in ratings between last week and this week is not likely due to the lead-in. Last week was some sort of odd spike. Either there were station preemptions in a big market (Chicago?) or some other factor, but the FWaW number last week was unusually high and I can't see why an additional 25% viewership would watch Farmer just because there was another repeat of Farmer on before it.

What? Probably have to wait another month for that since it is a short run series.

If the game stays close, it might do just that. The big question is: while the guys watch men 'play ball', what will the women watch: Swingtown or Fear Itself? I think that Swingtown will have the edge in attracting the female demo.

I do agree 2.45 million is high for FWAW.

13 is a new reality show the CW ordered. people are put in a haunted house or something. it was like an 8 episode order - why not a 13 episode order!
May not be easy to find. You could try tvbythenumbers.com and plase a posting for your request, but if it is not in the top 40, they do not have the numbers available.
Thats about the only place I know, other than looking for a really dedicated fan site, where you will be able to find Viewer numbers for any cable show.

I'm not that surprised Hockey did that well last night. I live near Detroit, and I was thrilled to see the Red Wings win it again. ANd it seemed like every single person around me was watching the game - I heard cheering from at least 5 different houses last night every time the Wings scored a goal.
