Thursday afternoon the CW announced to us that they would be delaying the mid-season premieres for 'Supernatural' and 'Smallville' until next Friday night because they were worried about their Thursday line up of 'Vampire Diaries' and 'Nikita' having to compete with American Idol, so on Friday night we got re-runs of those two shows instead, just so the CW could protect it's ratings with those two terrible shows, and as it turns out, they didn't need too.
On Thursday night, 'Vampire Diaries' and 'Nikita' showed no significant drop in ratings even with competing against 'America Idol'.
So they delayed two actual good programs, to keep their ratings up with two terrible shows, and in the end didn't have too, see if that makes any sense to any of you.
