The Wednesday print edition of USA Today has published the final ratings for the week of November 4-10, the first full week of the November Sweeps period. ENTERPRISE's "The Seventh" finished with a 3.2/5 rating and share, identical to the season premiere "Shockwave, Part II," but with a viewership of 4.82 million, the lowest audience for any first-run episode of the series this season. The premiere comes out just ahead with 4.89 million and "Carbon Creek" secured 4.84 million viewers. The low record holder for the entire series is "Fusion" last February with 4.49 million viewers. The "Seventh" performance was good enough to secure 5th place for the week, just edging out FOX's Firefly, but ends a streak of improving audience numbers that began with "Minefield."

The big news of the week comes at the top as The WB's Smallville shattered the record it only established a few weeks ago to secure 1st place with 9.4 million viewers. Last week's Smallville was the most watched episode of the series to date, topping the previous high by a cool 1/2 million viewers and, in this age of television, a remarkable 7% increase above the premiere of its pilot last season. As if that were not enough, for the first time ever Smallville knocked ABC's Alias off of its perch at the top in head-to-head competition. Television, at least this week, has a new science fiction/fantasy champion. Next week, we'll see if Smallville can retain the title with its most serialized episode to date. ABC's Alias was close behind Smallville with 9.3 million viewers.

There is more of the "good news, bad news" variety for The WB. The audience decline of the Batman-bastard child "Birds of Prey" appears to have leveled off around 4.6 million and Charmed continued its strong performance this season with 5.5 million viewers; easily outdistancing ENT for 4th place for the week. The bad news for The WB comes in the form of its formerly stalwart Angel, which, for the second week in roll, was mired with a measly 3.6 million viewers. Based on the previous two weeks, it appears as if Angel is in trouble.

For FOX there was good news as John Doe remained firmly entrenched in 3rd place, securing its now standard 6.6 million viewers. Meanwhile, Joss Whedon's Firefly has clearly stabilized its audience numbers with 4.7 million this week.

Top Ranked Science Fiction/Fantasy Genre Network Series
November 4-10 (based on number of viewers)

1) Smallville (WB) - 5.4/8 (9.4 million)
2) Alias (ABC) - 5.5/8 (9.3 million)
3) John Doe (FOX) - 4.1/7 (6.6 million)
4) Charmed (WB) - 3.2/5 (5.5 million)
5) Enterprise (UPN ) - 3.2/5 (4.8 million)
6) Firefly (FOX) - 2.9/5 (4.7 million)
7) Birds of Prey (WB) - 3.0/4 (4.6 million)
8) Buffy the Vampire Slayer (UPN) - 2.9/4 (4.6 million)
9) Angel (WB) - 2.4/4 (3.6 million)
10) The Twilight Zone (UPN) - 2.0/3 (3.2 million)

CBS once again won the week with an average of 14.2 million viewers, followed by NBC with 13.3 million. UPN was yet again mired in last place with 4.2 million, trailing The WB's 5.0 million. It is possible that UPN's poor performance this season makes a Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off next season (or perhaps even the return of BVS itself, if Sarah Michelle Geller can be signed) seem more likely than ever, else UPN return explicitly to being the Trek and Wrestling Network.

NEXT WEEK: Can the Apocalyse help Angel's numbers rebound?
