* “The Jay Leno Show” hit its all-time low at 1.2.

* “Supernanny” jumped in its second week, returning “Ugly Betty” to its status as the lowest-rated show on ABC.

* “Smallville” was flat in a week in which every other new episode aired on The CW jumped at least a tenth of a point:

2.0 (0.9) (1.8) (1.7) (1.6) (1.7) The Vampire Diaries
1.6 (1.4) (1.4) (1.5) (1.5) (1.3) America’s Next Top Model
1.4 (0.8) (1.2) (1.2) (1.2) (1.2) Supernatural
1.3 (1.0) (1.2) (1.1) (1.1) (1.1) One Tree Hill
1.2 (1.1) (1.2) (1.1) (1.2) (1.0) Gossip Girl
1.1 (1.1) (1.1) (0.9) (0.9) (0.9) Smallville

* A repeat of “House” beat the best first-run Friday scores of “Dollhouse,” “Brothers” and “‘Til Death.” “Dollhouse” is now expected to burn off episodes 2.5 through 2.10 over three Friday nights in December, then 2.11 though 2.13 in January. Enjoy it while it lasts.

* CBS won Friday handily, but "Medium" matched its season low with a Halloween episode repurposing footage from George Romero's original "Night of the Living Dead."
