NBC's football show sheds viewers, while CW's pesky teen detective cracks the ratings case.


The peacock must be getting flustered.

NBC's football drama Friday Night Lights lost viewers in its second week, going from a disappointing 7.2 million viewers for the premiere to 6.3 million for last night's outing. The show's 11 percent dip spells trouble for the network, which is already suffering from a lackluster Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip and an already canned Kidnapped.

The CW's Gilmore Girls earned its best numbers of the season so far, while Veronica Mars improved its ratings 4 percent in women 18-34. Veronica helped the CW come in ahead of NBC and Fox at 9 p.m. in the adults 18-34 demo.

At 8 p.m., ABC and Dancing With the Stars sashayed to a 5.3, followed by CBS and NCIS at 3.8, NBC's Friday Night Lights flickering to a 2.4, Fox and baseball at 2.2, and the CW's Gilmore Girls at 2.0.

At 9 p.m., ABC took the cake with Stars and a 4.6 at 9 p.m. and Ted Danson's Help Me Help You at 9:30 with a 3.1. CBS's The Unit and NBC's L&O: CI tied for second at 3.6, Fox nabbed 2.9 for ALCS, and the CW's Veronica Mars came in at 1.3.

At 10 p.m., NBC arrested a 4.6 for L&O: SVU, CBS scored a 3.2 for a CSI rerun--14 percent better than the now-missing Smith pulled in last week--and ABC earned a 2.9 for Boston Legal. Fox nabbed a 2.6 for ALCS.

Overall, ABC led with a 4.3 rating and 11 share, with CBS at 3.6/9, NBC at 3.5/9, Fox at 3.2/7, and the CW at 1.7/4.

I'm sorry to hear about FNL, although after the second episode, I can't see the show lasting too long anyway.
