* “Caprica,” with its first truly new Syfy episode, improved slightly with a 0.5 in 18-49. Its 1.4 million viewers was down from the 2.1 million viewers earned by the first new January 2009 episode of “Battlestar Galactica.” In the Syfy universe, the 18-49 score puts it even with the last episode of “Stargate Universe” (already renewed for a second season), ahead of the 0.4 scored by the last episodes of “Sanctuary” and behind the 0.8 scored by the last episodes of reality series “Destination Truth” and “Ghost Hunters.”

* “Smallville” returned to new episodes with a 1.1. Here’s how it compares with the four other new episodes aired on the CW last week:

1.8 (1.6) (0.7) (0.6) (0.4) (0.4) (0.8) (1.1) (0.6) (0.5) (1.6) (2.0) (1.9) (2.0) (0.9) (1.8) (1.7) (1.6) (1.7) (1.6) Vampire Diaries
1.2 (1.3) (0.6) (0.6) (0.3) (0.3) (-----) (0.7) (0.5) (0.4) (1.2) (1.3) (1.2) (1.4) (0.8) (1.2) (1.2) (1.2) (1.2) (1.2) Supernatural
1.1 (1.2) (----) (----) (----) (----) (----) (-----) (-----) (----) (----) (----) (----) (-----) (----) (----) (----) (----) (----) Life Unexpected
1.1 (1.1) (0.4) (0.4) (0.4) (0.3) (----) (1.2) (1.1) (0.5) (1.2) (1.3) (1.1) (1.3) (1.0) (1.2) (1.1) (1.1) (1.1) One Tree Hill
1.1 (----) (0.5) (0.6) (0.5) (0.4) (----) (0.5) (0.8) (0.6) (1.1) (1.2) (1.1) (1.1) (1.1) (1.1) (0.9) (0.9) (0.9) Smallville

Expect an uptick with its two-hour Justice Society movie next week. Broadcasting & Cable just posted an illuminating article describing how the CW keeps the lights on with such meager viewership. Excerpts:

… in 2009, The CW lost tens of millions of dollars. Bernstein Research estimates the loss at $25 million to $50 million, and one source indicates that the loss is closer to the high end … [but] execs say that syndication, international, digital, home-entertainment, merchandising and other ancillary revenues that the partners derive from shows that air on The CW platform offset the losses, and will keep The CW setting trends for years.

* The final episode of “Dollhouse” enjoyed a slight uptick, but remained the lowest-rated episode in broadcast Friday night.

* “Numbers” keeps winning its 10 p.m. timeslot since CBS cut back its episode order. Maybe it’s not dead after all.

* ABC’s “Shark Tank” has been looking strong on Fridays, improving substantially again on its “Supernanny” lead-in and beating the premiere of Fox’s “Kitchen Nightmares” at 9 p.m. So maybe the sharks will swim again next season?

* A new “Leno” matched the 1.4 that a repeat of “Dateline” pulled in its slot last week. Maybe NBC should give Leno a little more time to fine-tune his Dan Band segments and test “Dateline” repeats at 11:35 p.m.?

* Starz’ “Spartacus,” which did not get help from an Encore simulcast this week, slipped a bit in overall viewership. It too has already gotten its second-season renewal.
