I see The CW had a brilliant strategy when they decided to spend nearly a week airing nothing but "The Secret Circle".

[Mistermoonlight]

Those are pretty miniscule numbers.

But I did read that Supernatural, with even a 1.82 performed extremely well in their target demo.

Did anyone notice that there were no overnight ratings?

That has not happen in a very, very long time.

Well Jersey Shores got over 7.00 viewers and over a 3. share in the targeted demo, so I would have to say that once again the CW is still failing as a network.

I do think that the CW is finally going to change dirrection by getting away from the teenage soaps (it is okay to have one or two soaps, but most of their shows were just bad TV) and do more family friendly shows where they might be able to grow in viewers and in demos.
