What follows is the fast affiliate rating results for Thursday, June 18, 2009 in the order of overall network totals and by half hour per program (in the order of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and the CW).
I really wish the superstars does better next week, because I really want them to bring back battle of the network stars. I think for this group, they didn't really pick a great cast, they are virtually unknowns -- I only really know Maks and David as the celebrities. It was fun to watch. But this would do better with Wipeout as a lead in.
America's Got Talent did very well, with very impressive half hour build-ups as always. Viewers always seem to find this show in the middle for some reason. It was a good premiere, and I thought Nick Cannon did an okay job.
The Superstars is a disaster. Better Off Ted is another disaster. I can't believe they renewed this. It just isn't worth it. Surviving Suburbia did better than this, on a Friday. I guess that means they should have renewed Surviving Suburbia
I'm a Celebrity was the biggest waste of time I've had in a long time. The entire hour was nothing but filler. They eliminated 2 celebrities, but that's the only thing they did. You could just tell they were stretching for time, and it was BORING. Hopefully the finale will be better tonight.
That is the trick the Nets need to find for their programs. If Live+7 does nothing to the bottom line, they need a way to get you to watch it live or at least the commercials.

Sad to see another ABC show flounder. I thought Dan Cortese would bring in more viewers. After all, he spent many years on that classic sitcom Suddenly Susan and now on Surviving Suburbia. Oh ... never mind.

On another note - Better Off Ted, I can't believe another that Dumont has endorsed and written up as the greatest thing since Caveman has gotten less than 2 million viewers. If CBS just posted a picture of William Peterson and Simon Baker on the screen for an hour, I think it would have been beaten that.
Wow, House repeats bad. It's really strange - series that get high demo in their premiere run, flop totally in repeats. I can understand when it's serialized shows, but House?
Awesome to see NCIS repeat so well. I love the show!

Even I'd watch that. It could probably pull in CSI repeat numbers. CBS should consider it
