It looks like Tuesday’s second season is off to a strong start:
[A]t 10, “Jericho” (2.5/7 in 18-49, 7.2 million viewers overall) was in line with its first-season finale averages last spring, finishing neck and neck in demos with NBC’s repeat of “Law & Order: SVU” (2.6/7 in 18-49, 8.3 million viewers overall) and outperforming all but one episode of “Cane” to air in the timeslot this season for CBS.
Combined, “Big Brother” and “Jericho” improved the network’s prior four-week 18-49 average in the 9-11 p.m. timeslot (with a combination of original and repeat programming) by 37% (2.6 vs. 1.9).
Not bad. I watched Epsiode 2.1 last night on TiVo and will have some thoughts about it later today.
