Before we begin with part two (here is part one for those who missed it) of my look at this Fall’s new series’, lets have a quick rundown on the ratings of last night’s premieres:
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Averaged a 8.7/14 HH Rating with a 5.0 A18-49 rating (13.39M viewers) Overall, thats a strong start and enough for a solid second place in the timeslot (behind the power-house CSI: Miami). It’s not all peachy for the critically acclaimed series though, as audience dipped roughly 2.4M viewers in the second half hour in total viewers (from 14.57M to 12.20M) and in A18-49 (going from a 5.4 to a 4.6). It could be cause for concern, or it could be nothing. Something to watch for no doubt.
(NOTE: I made a mistake and posted the viewers for “Deal or No Deal” instead of those for “Studio 60”. Apologies for the mistake, it’s been edited out. I’ve also added additional data on the 2nd half decline.)
The Class
Averaged a 6.9/11 HH Rating with a 3.7 A18-49 Rating (10.74M viewers). That’s a good start to the show (second place in the time-slot behind “Deal or No Deal”), improving on last year’s time-slot occupant (“The King of Queens”) by almost 9% in A18-49. It’ll be interesting to see where the show goes from here.
Alright, now that we got that out of the way, lets continue on towards tonight’s new premieres, correction, new premiere. That’s right, while there are a few season premieres this evening, there is only one series premiere; “Smith”, the thief focused series led by the very powerful on-screen presence of Ray Liota.

Not for a long time do I remember so many amazing new shows premiering in one season. Whether your favorite genre is drama, comedy or sci-fi, this Falls new shows offer up a little bit of each. I’ve seen most of the pilots, and I’m honestly finding it very hard to narrow down my selection to any sort of top 10 list. Of course, the bigger problem is finding a way to watch all these new shows on top of the current crop that I already watch! I’m sure I’m not the only one in that predicament.
I’m going to do brief reviews of each of the new fall (and winter) series, and we’ll start today with “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” and “The Class”.
