after the 2.7/5 last week!!!!

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Fast Affiliate Ratings for Friday, Oct. 25, 2002.

NBC shows won every hour primetime in both household ratings and shares and in the 18 to 49 demographic on Friday night.

The Peacock averaged a 9.1 rating/16 share to lead the networks, followed by CBS at 5.9/10 and ABC close behind at 5.7/10. FOX trailed, 3.4/6.

In the 18 to 49 demographic, NBC earned a 3.9 average for the evening, followed by ABC's 3.5. CBS and FOX tied for third with 2.3 each.

At 8 p.m., NBC's doomed "Providence" won the hour with 7.7/14. "48 Hours Investigates" placed second on CBS with 6.5/12 as ABC's Halloween specials "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" (5.8/10) and "Boo To You, Too, Winnie the Pooh" (5.3/10) finished third on ABC. "Firefly" was fourth on FOX, 3.0/6.

"Dateline NBC" topped the 9 p.m. hour with 8.1/14 as CBS' "Hack" landed in second with 6.7/12. "America's Funniest Home Videos" kept ABC in third with 5.6/10 as FOX's "John Doe" trailed, 3.9/7.

At 10 p.m., NBC finished the night in first with the most-watched show of the night, "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," with an 11.5 rating/21 share. ABC climbed to second with "20/20," 6.3/11, as CBS' "Robbery Homicide Division" continues to struggle, 4.5/8.

You know, last week the overnights were *so* off, I don't know how much I can trust them.

But, if the real ratings are that much better than last week (3.7 i believe), we're in pretty good shape!

A 3.0 is still a terrible rating. I'd like to think that Fox would evalute that and say it's progress from the prior week, but it's still really poor.

Let's face it. That's complete crap. But i think they'll keep airing Firefly due to the fact they've got nothing else available right now.

damn you people are negative! It can't go from what it was to a 12.3/9 rating in one week. But it's growing right now wich is good...FOX won't cancel a show with rating that are going up even if they are low cause well it's going up and there's a chance for it to have decent rating one day if it continue that way...So as long as the audiance don't start dropping again the show is not in danger

We're not negative, we're realistic and it wouldn't bother me too much a low number, if it we're a decent increase, but the fact Buffy and Angel are scoring much higher than this is a pretty bad indication. Might as well soften the blow for ourselves.

(NOTE: I didn't say it's gonna get cancelled, but it's dangling dangerously near it.)

Yeah John Doe is FOX's new pride and "success story" and is only 0.9/1 higher of a rating more than firefly, but then again, Anchor Shows are expected to have higher ratings than the show that preceeds it, but maybe fOX will overlook it because Firefly is a brand new show on Friday Nights.

If you know anyone that can help my screenwriting career, please help! And yes, I am self-advertising here. Hehehe, me such a little devil.

Here is a dump question, I know I can go to Zap2it and find out the overnight ratings but when do we find out about the real ratings?
