THE SKED: TUESDAY -- Early Results

NBC's Parenthood premiered last night to a 2.3 Adult 18-49 rating in the fast nationals.  This is down 36% from the America's Got Talent lead-in and down 15% from last season's premiere episode.  The 2.3 is right at our projected program average for originals this Fall.

Over at the mini-network The CW, 90210 returned to the schedule with a 0.8 rating, down 11% from last season's debut episode.  Ringer, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, rose a very good 50% from the 90210 lead-in to a 1.2 rating and matched the Hellcats premiere last season but was 14% lower than the Nikita premiere last season.  Program comparisons courtesy tvbythenumbers.com.
