Audiences seem to be sticking around for "Smallville" on The CW as Thursday's broadcast brought in ratings matching the show's season high.
"Smallville" earned a 3.1 rating/5 share Thursday, outdistancing last week's estimated overnight audience of a 2.7/5, according to Nielsen Media Research. That was still last place for the hour, but shows that interest still remains consistently strong for the superhero show.
"Supernatural," however, didn't do as well, losing about a third of "Smallville's" audience and earning a 1.9/3, according to Zap2it. That is off one-tenth of a ratings point over the previous week, which would typically be a blip on the radar, if only it wasn't such a significant audience chunk compared to higher-rated shows.
For Thursday, The CW finished with a 2.5/4 to take fifth place behind CBS, ABC, Fox and NBC.
Now that "Women's Murder Club" is off its premiere high, "Moonlight" is starting to pick up viewers again, earning a 5.1/9 on Friday, finishing well ahead of "Friday Night Lights" on NBC and both "Smackdown!" and "American Band" on The CW. It was still beat by "Murder Club," but that was about it.
"Moonlight" still is losing audience from its popular lead-in, "Ghost Whisperer," but it did help CBS to a Friday night win. The big Eye earned a 5.7/10 for the night, finishing ahead of ABC, NBC, The CW and Fox.
Out of the genre shows for the week, "Heroes" has regained the top spot with a 6.8/10 followed by "Pushing Daisies" with a 6.6/11. The rest of the list, in order of viewers, was "Bionic Woman," "Moonlight," "Chuck," "Journeyman," "Smallville" and "Supernatural."
Fast Nationals usually provide a snapshot of what Americans are watching by pulling numbers from the top urban markets that includes both live viewing and same-day timeshifted viewing. A rating point generally represents more than 1.1 million households while the share indicates the percentage of televisions turned on that was tuned to the specific program. These numbers typically shift when final ratings are issued.
