V was up almost 500K versus last week:
LAST WEEK: 5.98 million viewers (#2) and 2.4/ 6 (#3)among adults
18-49. And via Berman: Retention out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of
Lost (Viewers: 9.77 million; A18-49: 4.0/10) was 61 percent in total
viewers and 60 percent in the demo.
THIS WEEK: Viewers: 6.36 million (#3), A18-49: 2.5/ 7 (#2). Lost's
ratings were similarly up about 700K total (10.58 million/4.0 a18-49)
versus last week. (9:30 hour of Lost was 10.21 million this week.)
Lost's ratings were up, V's ratings were up. Similar increases in
total viewers, with V retaining the same percentage of Lost's viewers
versus last week. Also, V is on a creative roll versus the hiccup of
the first 2 episodes after they came back from the winter hiatus.
In other words, V's ratings are stable -- in ABC's worst non-Friday
timeslot. IMO, it deserved Honorable Mention status, NOT Loser
status.
