V Invasion a Success
ABC/DAVID GRAY
The aliens have landed. And we couldn't wait to welcome them.
V, ABC's redo of the 1980s sci-fi franchise, notched the fall's biggest new series premiere among the viewers TV networks covet most.
Overall, last night's hourlong opener averaged 13.9 million hapless humans, preliminary Nielsen estimates showed, topping NBC's The Biggest Loser (8.5 million) and the first hour of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance (6.4 million). CBS' NCIS (19.4 million) was its typical monster self, and led the 8 p.m. hour—but not among those aforementioned viewers TV networks covet most.
V, which originally invaded TV in 1983, via NBC, was actually the night's highest rated show among the cool kids, also besting NCIS: Los Angeles and Dancing With the Stars.
Guess we've been waiting for somebody to take care of all the rodents.
