From Robert Seidman of TV By The Numbers:
- Friday Ratings: Flashpoint bright for CBS? Lipstick Jungle’s quiet farewell…
“The season premiere of Flashpoint at 9pm averaged 10.06 million and a 2.2/6 (rating/share) among 18-49 year olds. While Flashpoint didn’t experience the drop off at 9pm some CBS shows have experienced at 9pm, it did have the worst performance in the 18-49 demographic of any CBS show last night, but still easily won the hour in both total viewers and the 18-49 demographic.” Read more.
Marc Berman wrote that :
“It was a clean sweep for CBS on this second Friday of January 2009 with its combination of Ghost Whisperer (Viewers: 10.63 million; A18-49: 2.5 rating/8 share), the second season-premiere of Flashpoint (Viewers: 10.06 million; A18-49: 2.2/ 6) and Numb3rs (Viewers: 10.08 million; A18-49: 2.4/ 7). The positive news for Flashpoint, of course, was retention out of Ghost Whisperer of 95 percent in total viewers and 88 percent in the demo. In these tough economic times, it pays to shop around for quality Canadian programming. There is plenty of it.”
