* Fridays = Kryptonite! All the premieres were down down down from their previous-season premieres, and the biggest dip came for “Smallville” at 45%.

* “Dollhouse” was down 41% from its premiere last February, but about even from its first-season finale in May.

* “Medium,” which jumped to Fridays from whole other network, fell 33%

* Good news and bad news for “Leno”: it hit its lowest score to date but finally beat some big-four shows.

* The only NBC show “Leno” beat this week was “Law & Order,” which launched its milestone 20th season at 8 p.m. last night. It was down 41% from its launch last November and couldn't even top ABC's "FlashForward" repeat. Looks like it may not beat “Gunsmoke” after all!
