BEYOND THE TOP 15
-- Sci Fi's "Battlestar Galactica: Razor" posted a lackluster 1.21 household rating (1,004,000 adults 18-49) for its premiere on Saturday, on par with its third season finale (1.21 household rating on 3/25/07) and just ahead of its series low numbers (1.09 on 3/4/07). Compared with the network's other Saturday originals this year, "Razor" fell behind 12 of the 19 aired thus far while a year ago (11/25/06), the premiere of "Basilisk: The Serpent King"
posted a 1.4 household rating.
-- Showtime's "Weeds" closed its third season to the tune of 737,000 viewers, its best finale numbers to date.
-- TBS saw solid numbers from the launch of "Frank TV" on Tuesday (2.9 million viewers) while Monday's special "Ellen's Really Big Show" managed only 1.5 million viewers. The latter came in behind the "Family Guy" repeats that usually run in said time period.
