TV Overnights: "Studio 60" Opens Well (Sort Of)

Mediaweek's Marc Berman has the overnight ratings:

8 p.m. Deal or No Deal (NBC) -- 15.6 mil
The Class (CBS) 10.5 mil/How I Met Your Mother -- 10.4 mil
Prison Break (Fox) -- 9.4 mil
Wife Swap (ABC) -- 7.1 mil

9 p.m. Deal or No Deal (NBC) -- 15.6 mil
Two and a Half Men (CBS) -- 15 mil/Old Christine (CBS) -- 12 mil
Wife Swap (ABC) 8.7 mil
Vanished (Fox) -- 7.4 mil

10 p.m. CSI: Miami (CBS) -- 17.2 mil
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip -- 13.3 mil
Supernanny -- 7 mil

The Class did much better than I expected anchoring the night, but let's see how it holds. "Studio 60" retained most of its lead-in, but faded in the second half hour. In other words, people weren't thrilled with what they saw. And how lame is ABC's schedule?
