"Cogenitor" Produces Highest Overnight Rating in a Month, Resists Downturn

For the second week UPN's ENTERPRISE has improved in the fast national overnight ratings, which track that nation's top television markets. After several weeks of declines that bottomed with "Horizon"'s 3.5/5 (story), both "The Breach" (3.8/6, story) and now "Cogenitor" have reclaimed lost ground.

Earning a 4.0/6 in the overnights, "Cogenitor" marks the highest number since February's "Canamar" (4.5/7, story). The figure is still well below historical showings for ENTERPRISE, which ended 2002 and started 2003 with a 4.2/7 overnight rating for both "The Catwalk" (story) and "Dawn" (story). "Cogenitor," however, is well above the series-low 3.4 set by "Vanishing Point" in November.

The news will may be bittersweet, however. Last week "The Breach" soared three tenths of a percentage point compared to "Horizon" in the overnights but ended up with only a one-tenth increase in its final rating, and actually less viewers than its predecessor (story), making it the least-watched episode ever despite the overnight improvement.

UPN took the fifth place spot overall last night with an average of 3.6/5 compared to the WB's 3.5/5. THE TWILIGHT ZONE retained 80% of ENTERPRISE's audience last night to arrive at 3.3/5, a number MediaWeek's Marc Berman says is promising. Fox took the #1 spot in the eight o'clock hour with AMERICAN IDOL, followed by ABC, NBC and CBS.

Final rating and audience data will be available next week. For the full overnight round-up, visit this page.

Although I was not able to watch "Cogeniter" because of an NBA game that preempted the episode until Saturday, I am really impressed with the viewership of this episode. I think people really want to give ENTERPRISE a chance. Plus B&B worte this Episode (does that tell you something!!) To me it says that people are also willing to give them a chance. Maybe this is the CHANGE in the show that we have been waiting for.

Plus, ENTERPRISE went up against a one hour ep. of American Idol, so the fact that it could increase it viewership having that much competition also syas something about the show and about the fans, I cannot wait to see this episode now but reading the spoilers and the fact that it got the highest ratings this month, really adds some suspense to the wait and then to the episode. Now we have to wait and see how "Regeneration" does next week and hope that this season continues to get more viewers and really builds up to the season finale.
