Overnight TV Ratings -- "Gilmore Girls" Down

Here are the overnight figures from Mediaweek's Marc Berman:

8 p.m.
1. Dancing With The Stars (ABC) -- 17.84 million
2. House (FOX) -- 14.22 million
3. NCIS -- (CBS) 13.8 million
4. Heroes (pilot repeat) -- 4.96 million
5. Gilmore Girls (CW) -- 4.56 million

9 p.m.
1. Dancing With The Stars -- 17.84 million/Help Me Help You -- 11.93 million
2. Law & Order: Criminal Intent (NBC) -- 10.44 million
3. The Unit (CBS) -- 12.03 million
4. Standoff (Fox) -- 8.11 million
5. Runaway pilot repeat (CW) -- 1.73 million

10 p.m.
1. Law & Order: SVU (NBC) -- 14.34 million
2. Boston Legal (ABC) -- 9.97 million
3. Smith (CBS) -- 9.57 million

In short, "Gilmore' opened lower than last season, Ted Danson's new sitcom "Help Me" collapsed after "Dancing Wiht The Stars" and "Standoff" is similarly wasting the massive lead-in of "House." "Smith" too is a little weak, but not painfully so. Once I've seen "Friday Night Lights," I'll rundown all the fall shows.
