Update: Ratings results for Shark and Six Degrees are at the bottom of this post.
Before I continue on with this feature, let’s recap the series premiere ratings from last evening.
Jericho
Averaged a 7.5/12 HH Rating with a 3.2 A18-49 rating (11.40M viewers). This is better than I had expected and a better launch in terms of total viewers than Smith. However, it did have a slightly lower A18-49 rating, but that is offset by the fact that the show increased in viewers in the second half by roughly 8%. Always a great sign. So a solid, if not a great premiere. The key will be to see if the show holds on to its viewers for an extended amount a time, something Invasion over on ABC was not capable of doing.
For those interested in comparing this show with Invasion’s premiere, here are those numbers: 10.5/17 (7.1)–16.43M viewers.
Kidnapped
Averaged a 5.1/8 HH Rating with a 2.8 A18-49 rating (7.53M viewers). The show dipped in A18-49 from it’s first half hour to second (2.9 to 2.7). Considering what the time-slots former occupant received last year (Law & Order–13.03 million viewers and a 4.0 A18-49 rating) this should not come as good news to NBC. Of course it didn’t necessarily have the best of lead-in’s with The Biggest Loser (7.17M viewers, 3.1 A18-49 rating), so I guess they can look at that and find some positives.
Alright, lets move on to tonight’s new premiere (note: I have yet to see Six Degrees, so I won’t have a review for it); Shark (here is part one, part two and part three).

On the strength of it’s core crime dramas, CBS leads the way in a tight race between it and ABC. Two new premieres have opposite results as “Jericho” premieres well while “Kidnapped” gets off to a sluggish start. Next cycle of America’s Next Top Model officially launches ‘The CW’ to good results, leading the night in A18-34.
