Survival: Wednesday edition

Keep in mind that it takes a couple of weeks for the networks to figure out what shows people are watching on their TiVos, etc. (TiVo ratings for premiere week are included below.) So some of these shows might see a little boost when that information finally appears.

"Pushing Daisies Pushing Daisies is an American television comedy-drama created by Bryan Fuller (creator of Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls) who also serves as executive producer alongside Bruce Cohen, Dan Jinks, Brooke Kennedy and Barry Sonnenfeld. ": Lost nearly 3 million viewers from its debut, but still had over 10m sets of eyeballs and is strong in the viewers 18-49 demo. So, unless there's further dropoff in the coming weeks, this one's looking OK.

"Kid Nation": 7 million viewers means don't look for a second edition of merrily skirting child-labor laws.

"Back To You": 6.5 million, so-so in 18-49. I imagine Fox was hoping for a lot better, but they may settle for this. But I don't imagine they're doing any happy dances on the set.

"Private Practice": 12.2 million, No. 1 in 18-49. Show's not going anywhere.

"Bionic Woman": 10.1 million. Not bad, not great; NBC NBC

 will take it.

"Kitchen Nightmares": 6.4 million, but growth in 18-49. It may hold on there for Fox in a pretty competitive time slot.

"Gossip Girl": Go figure. A disappointment by any measure and a viable candidate for a quick cancellation, but The CW has already picked it up for the whole season.

"Dirty Sexy Money Dirty Sexy Money is a American television series, created by Craig Wright, who also serves as executive producer alongside Greg Berlanti, Bryan Singer, Matthew Gross, Peter Horton and Josh Reims, with Melissa Berman producing. Horton also directed the pilot. ": 8.9 million. This is kind of a head-scratcher -- not sure why this isn't doing better, but it's not a disaster so ABC ABC

 will probably be patient and see if it can settle in. But if it falls below 8m viewers, all bets are off.

"Life": 8.1 million. Not that good, but far better than NBC managed in the timeslot last season. And when your criterion is, "Well, it's not doing as awful as that last show," your network's in for a world of hurt.

And now, because you've been extra nice, here are TiVo's ratings for premiere week, announced today. The final percentage number represents how many homes with TiVo watched that particular show. Note, for example, more TiVo subscribers watched "Heroes" than "Dancing With the Stars Dancing with the Stars is the name for a number of international television series based on the format of the British series Strictly Come Dancing. Nevertheless, not all the international versions share this title. ," though in the real world it was vice versa VICE VERSA. On the contrary; on opposite sides. . And "Dirty Sexy Money" did better than "Criminal Minds" in TiVoLand.

This isn't good news for the new shows:

"Private Practice," "Bionic Woman" and "Dirty Sexy Money" were the only premiere shows to crack the Top 5 on any given night -- all three were among the Top 5 on Wednesday night. Both "Private Practice" and "Bionic Woman" were also the only two programs to make the Top 50 Season Pass rankings.

"What is extremely interesting is that with the exception of sports programs nearly two-thirds of all viewing during premiere week was done on a time-shifted basis," said Todd Juenger, vice president and general manager, TiVo Audience Research & Measurement. "The high amount of time-shifting viewing highlights the importance of not simply measuring a program's success based on overnight ratings. Instead, it's critical to also factor in time-shifting viewing, considering it represented two-thirds of the audience for most of these programs." Juenger noted that five shows which made the Top 5 Viewed rankings also appeared on TiVo's Top 10 Season Pass list -- "Grey's Anatomy," "House," "CSI CSI Crime Scene Investigator
