Smallville

February 6, 2003: Smallville's Ratings Soar

The WB Network's young-Superman drama "Smallville" set ratings highs Tuesday, while Fox's drama "24," boosted by "American Idol," hit its best postpremiere numbers this season. On the sixth night of the February sweep, "Smallville" hit an all-time high for any program on the WB in the key 18-34 demographic, with a 6.1 rating/15 share, according to figures from Nielsen Media Research. "Smallville" attracted 8.1 million total viewers. In the 18-49 demo, the WB series easily beat ABC's 9 p.m. comedy block of "Life With Bonnie" and "Less Than Perfect" (4.2/10 vs. 3.6/8), not to mention CBS' drama "The Guardian" (3.0/7). The achievement is especially impressive given that the WB is available in far fewer U.S. homes than either ABC or CBS.

Thanks to the Hollywood Reporter for the ratings information.
