Yes, it helped that last night was the big milestone 200th episode for Smallville and baseball was on TBS, but The CW had a really big night.  The CW four weeks in is actually making a name for itself on Friday night and it has the power combo of Smallville and Supernatural to thank.  Here's the impressive rundown of last night's results:

-  Smallville took FIRST PLACE in its time slot in the 18-49 demo (1.3) and the 18-34 demo.  It had 3.2 million viewers too, enough for 3rd place.  That's TOTAL viewers.  Taking anything above 5th in viewers is a major feat for The CW.  

-  Supernatural tied for 2nd place in its time slot in the 18-49 demo (1.2) and took first place in the 18-34 demo.  It had 2.8 million viewers, which was enough for 4th place!  It actually beat Fox's new scripted show The Good Guys by half a million viewers.  Again, it's never finished above 5th. 

-  The CW took 2nd place for the night in the 18-49 demo and first place in the 18-34 demo.   

Congratulations to Smallville on reaching 200 episodes!  It's great to see that after all this time, the fans are still invested. Congratulations to Supernatural too.  That's quite a rookie director you've got there.  I hope you'll have him back.  :)

I am pretty happy about these numbers. Thank you, Alice, (numbers geek that you are :ugeek: ) which I love 'cause I'm a numbers geek without any clue in this arena so your articles are gold to me.

Any idea why in last week's ratings article that showed the same day + seven (which I think includes the DVR numbers) Supernatural didn't appear at all on the radar? Usually SPN gets a nice lift there but it wasn't anywhere on any chart. Any thoughts there?

:-)
