Oy, that is depressing, ratings hit an all-time low. Really bad. In sweeps of all times. Damn. No cause to panic yet but it honestly caught me by surprise. :(
What kind of ratings was SPN getting in season 1, though? Were they much better than this season? Or less?
On Tuesdays after GG it pulled in 4,5 - 5 Million, after the move to Thursday`s it went down to the lower 4 Million and then upper 3 Million. Since Grey`s moved to Thursday`s we`re in the lower 3 Million and last week we got 2,83 Million.
GG gets 4,5 Million which is down from last year but it`s an aging show, SV is the highest rated on CW, it gets 4,5 - 5 Million weekly. But you have to take into account that these are on at 8 p.m. Those shows usually do better than the 9 p.m. ones. And SV has little real competition with a crossover audience.
So I think it`s safe to say we could attract more viewers, at least go back up to 5 Million but not against CSI and Grey. :(
Thanks. So it was actually getting higher ratings last season after Gilmore Girls. It's a tough position for TPTB of the show to be in, because didn't Kripke lobby to have the show moved to be after Smallville? I'm sure he doesn't have a lot of pull now to say, "Move it again. I was wrong," if it's getting even lower ratings.
Of course, nobody could have known that the show would be up against both CSI and Grey's Anatomy and isn't it also against Scrubs? Heck, even I like Scrubs, though I don't watch it. For anyone who doesn't like the icky dead body show or the soapy hospital show, there's the funny hospital show. *g*

It needs an anchor show like Smallville, though, I think--at least for one more season, which is too bad...
I was reading about Seinfeld, though, and that show didn't become popular until it's fifth season according to things I've read. It started becoming more of a cult show in the 4th season, but the fifth season was the break-out year. There are other shows that were similar. It's too bad that shows aren't given that kind of time any more. I really hope they'll give SPN at least one more season to see what happens.
