I think Top Model will return to normal levels once Idol moves to 9 pm. But I do agree, The CW should be worried.

Bad: Evereything under 4 million.
Good: Everything atleast 1 million.
Bad: The cancelled sitcom (Girlfriends) outrated all the continuing sitcoms even though it was a rerun (same situation as last year with Reba).

Good (for Smallville): it came in a close 2nd in both viewers and demo.

One Tree Hill was a repeat last week.

Those numbers are just plain sad. Plus, there losing there number one rated show next year. I think The Game should be renewed if Everybody Hates Chris was.

Since the 18-49 demo (or even 18-34) is what matters, CW isn't losing their top show. As for The Game, renewal will come down to how that lawsuit worked out and whether the show can still be profitable as a result.

9 of 14 shows in rerun. Not a good way to build audience. CW really needs to provide more first run programming next year. unlikely given the 2 hours of new space to fill on Friday, but it is what they need to do. Ah well, at least every show was over 1million viewers.

Everything over 1million viewers is good, for the CW, but only 4 shows over 1 in the demo isn't. Hopefully, Supernatural, Reaper, and Pussycat Dolls can join the 1 or better club next week with ANTM back at the 2+ level.

This sounds like me waxing on about MyNetworkTV a few months back.

How the mighty have fallen. The combination of the best and the brightest of UPN and The WB now a network that has only four series with a 1+ in A18-49 and with nine series down in the one million viewer range.
