Last night’s Smackdown did a 2.6 broadcast rating (5 share, 3.97 million viewers, for fourth place) for the debut show on The CW network. This is similar to numbers from same time last year on UPN, and way up from recent weeks (for those evaluating ratings, this is the benchmark for which future ratings will be judged, now that Smackdown is back on regular network TV after tons of preemptions, etc.).
