Studio 60 Premiere - Ratings
Okay, folks, here's the verdict on the Studio 60 premiere.
Aaron Sorkin's new drama "Studio 60" started off not too badly for NBC on Monday, but it was "Deal or No Deal" that led the network to a ratings win on the first night of the 2006-07 season.
At 10 p.m., the season premiere of "CSI: Miami" scored the night's biggest audience with an 11.2/17. "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" averaged a decent 8.6/14 for NBC but lost a significant number of viewers in its second half-hour. ABC was third with "Supernanny," 4.8/8.

Maybe people were just channel surfing between other premiering shows that night, or maybe most of us had already seen the thing on the web and we got bored seeing it twice. I'm not convinced putting the whole deal out there early on the web and Netflix was the brightest idea, since it gave people less to look forward to. With "Deal," there wasn't a preview out there spoiling the surprise.
Studio 60 was part of making the network the winner for the Fall Premiere season - which tells you something, given the super-smart writing typical of Sorkin fare.
I'm planning to watch the whole darn episode next time.
