Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America's Next Top Model, House, Medium, Ratings
Every once in a while a move to Fridays isn’t such a bad thing. Although some shows have been known to fade away, CW’s Smallville actually hit a season high with the 18-49s this weekend. That performance, of course, didn’t keep CBS from winning in both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (8.3 million, 2.0/7 in 18-49) was down by 200,000.
- Law & Order (7 million, 1.4/5) also fell by 200,000.
- Supernanny (4.8 million, 1.3/4) added on 100,000.
- A 2-hour House* repeat (3.8 million, 1.2/4) did better than last week’s programming.
- Smallville (2.6 million, 1.2/4) picked up 100,000.

It’s time to forget everything you remembered about last year’s fall schedule and start anew. CW will get the new season kicked off in just two weeks and there a lot of programming changes in store.
Used to watching your Law & Order: SVU @ 10:00? Too bad. Jay Leno’s got that time slot locked up for quite some time. Are your Tuesday nights devoted to Dancing with the Stars? Well, FOX is hoping you’ll check out the competition on So You Think You Can Dance. Like catching up with Medium on NBC Mondays? Start looking for Patricia Arquette on CBS Fridays.
Hopefully our detailed guide can assist you in the weeks to come. We have compiled information from the five major networks and included the days, times and premiere dates for this season’s programs.
(NOTE: This schedule has been updated as of November 4. Don’t be surprised to see changes in the weeks to come.)
