and 90210 set records for a major network on a Wednesday at 9/8 in least watched records.
Using major network to describe CW seems very very wrong.
julia, that might seem wrong, but it’s true. When you brag about winning a demo in one hour among all networks, you’re a major network. It’s only fair to mention they had less than 1M total viewers in the next hour.
I hate when CW’s press release brag about their ratings! Hello less than 4 million watched your show!
