-Ratings Breakdown:
Mirroring one week early, CBS was the most-watched network and the CW No. 1 among adults 18-49 on this lackluster Friday. Last, and very least, was Fox.

A repeat of CBS’ Ghost Whisperer won the 8 p.m. hour, with 4.95 million viewers and a 1.3 rating/5 share among adults 18-49. Also in the time period was a repeat of NBC’s 1 vs. 100 (Viewers: #2, 4.53 million; A18-49: #4t, 1.0/ 4), the first hour of the CW’s Friday Night Smackdown! (Viewers: #3, 3.63 million; A18-49: #2, 1.1/ 5), a repeat of Fox’s Bones (Viewers: #4, 3.47 million; A18-49: #4t, 1.0/ 4), and two repeat episodes of ABC’s canceled George Lopez (Viewers: #5, avg. 3.06 million; A18-49: #2t, 1.1/ 4). Overall, Friday Night Smackdown! averaged 4.19 million viewers and a 1.4/ 5 in the demo from 8-10 p.m. Once NBC’s The Singing Bee concludes, I hope we will be seeing original episodes of my favorite game show, 1 vs. 100.

The return of CBS’ Jericho, also a repeat, was the most-watched show at 9 p.m., with 4.74 million viewers -- 210,000 behind the encore of lead-in Ghost Whisperer. Demographically, Jericho was second among adults 18-49, with a 1.1/ 4. The CW’s aforementioned Friday Night Smackdown! won the hour in the demo, with a 1.6/ 6. Also airing from 9-10 p.m. were a repeat of NBC’s Las Vegas (Viewers: #3, 3.60 million; A18-49: #3, 0.9/ 4), which is hoping to benefit by the addition of Tom Selleck next season, another burn-off episode of canceled Fox drama Standoff (Viewers: #4, 2.99 million; A18-49: #5, 0.7/ 2), and ABC Family drama Kyle XY on ABC (Viewers: #5, 2.66 million; A18-49: #4, 0.8/ 3).

ABC’s veteran 20/20 won the 10 p.m. hour, with 5.93 million viewers and a 1.5/ 6 among adults 18-49. Next was a repeat of CBS’ Numb3rs (Viewers: #2, 5.88 million; A18-49: #2, 1.4/ 5), followed by a repeat of NBC’s Law & Order: Criminal Intent (Viewers: #3, 4.70 million; A18-49: #3, 1.2/ 4), which heads to USA Network next season.

ABC could probably win the night if they aired 2 hours of 20/20 on Friday, perhaps leading out of Men in Trees in its new timeslot.

Go Jericho! Go Jericho! Do you think that CBS will move Jericho to Fridays next season?
PS: I has Jericho on at mu house. I was working out. Never watched it. Pilot right?

GOOD NEWS: In a couple of weeks, I can change my sreen name back to Allen.

Yes, the episodes are in order, but there is a recap episode, I'm not sure when it's on, but I remember seeing it on the schedule.

If it does indeed stay on Fridays, there won't be much of a growth from what it was last season. That would be a very dumb move.

Can someone post the results for DR. Who that had a series premere on SCI

It could end up on Friday if Moonlight flops. Sunday if Viva Laughlin flops is also a possibility.

I'll be very suprised if Moonlight or Viva Laughin survive, I don't see any interest in them. (But that's just my opinion.)

After Moonlight and Viva Laughlin flop and Jericho performs the way it ended last season, then what will CBS replace that with? CSI reruns?

Swingtown is in the wings. I'm looking foward to that show.

I think Viva Laughlin will be the first new cancellation of the season.

Unless I get a flurry of last-minute suggestions, I have the 17 Lemon Awards categories completely set. I had to combine some categories and eliminate some others due to shortages of nominees there. The categories will premiere on the same day as the nominees for "the other TV awards" are announced, which is July 19.

You can access the Lemon Awards suggestion thread at the icon below.

If there is a DEATH POOL then it's only a question of which of these top contenders falls first..VIVA or CAVEMAN...personally I hope its VIVA just for the sheer stupidty of programing it on a night where a large part of the audience is probably going to be carryover from Football...and I can't remember the last time the average foot ball enthusiast was clamoring for a show about singing casino worker....
