The problem is that the WB moved "Smallville" from Tuesday night and paired it with "Angel" because they were looking for a strong Wednesday night lineup. The fact that "Angel" is doing better than last year certainly doesn't hurt, but 2 weeks ago it was holding over 80% of the "Smallville" lead-in and now it's down to 70%. That is not a happy sign.
It's kind of ironic. Last year, AtS was scoring a full point lower in the ratings, but the WB was happy because it was getting no help from the 8 o'clock hour. Now it has a strong lead-in and they're nervous. Good thing they already exercised the 22 week option, so we know we'll get a full season. I just don't want them to start moving it around because that won't help the ratings at all.
