Top Genre TV Shows: National Treasure dominates

By David Speakman • September 7, 2008

NBC's showing of theatrical movie, National Treasure led the meek offering of genre-related programming this past week on broadcast television. The Nick Cage-starring fantasy spy-fi adventure flick beat out repeat episodes of Ghost Whisperer and Chuck to take the genre crown in the few day before the Big 5 networks started rolling out their fall TV premieres.

The CW pre-empted showings of Reaper, Supernatural and Smallville for the debut and repeat airings of re-tread teen soap opera 90210 - a re-make of the 1980s FOX hit series.

Following are the ratings for speculative fiction shows that aired on the broadcast networks last week (August 29-September 4, 2008):

SHOW | [NETWORK] | Rating (Air Date)

  • National Treasure [NBC] 1.8 [August 31]
  • Ghost Whisperer [CBS] 1.4 (August 29)
  • Chuck [CBS] 0.7 (August 30)

About the Author

David Speakman

David Speakman - known in fannish circles as Davodd - is recovering from almost 20 years as a professional writer and journalist in mainstream print and broadcasting. He recently "retired" from journalism, citing that too many mega-mergers caused news focus to shift from serving the public interest to serving up eyeballs to advertisers. Currently he works full time as a paralegal while attending night law school. A member of N3F on and off since 1984, David's fannish activities in recent days have been curtailed due to time and budget constraints of being a law school student; although he does manage to squeeze in episodes of Battlestar Galactica, issues of Weird Tales magazine and an odd superhero movie "now and then."

    credit where credit is due – please don’t go blaming the 80’s for 90210 as it started in 1990! Not our fault :)
