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.

In the news: The stars of Flashpoint

From Bruce Demara of the Toronto Star:

  • No local flash in the pan
    “It must be some kind of record – roles in four TV series lasting longer than one season in the past 14 years – but hometown boy Enrico Colantoni shrugs it off expansively.” Read more.

From the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star:

  • Strike has given ‘Flashpoint’ a shot
    “BECAUSE she was a young acting and singing heartthrob early in her career, actress Amy Jo Johnson drew lots of attention when “Flashpoint” premiered last summer on CBS. The show, which kicks off a second season of sorts tonight on the same network, has a solid cast.” Read more.
