This week’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown! score a 2.8 fast national rating. That’s a very strong number and one of the higher ones the show has done as of late.

Speaking of ratings, the USA Network finished 2007 on top of the ad supported cable networks in prime time, averaging a number of 2.68 million viewers, with no doubt some help by WWE. Last year, the company did 2.63 million and was still at first place — which they also finished at in the 18-34, 18-49, and 25-54 age group breakdowns. TNT got second at 2.2 million viewers averaged, while ESPN — the carrier of the number 1 ratings show Monday Night Football — finished third with a 1.95 million. Though USA gets the win this year, remember those numbers are for ad supported cable shows, hence Disney which would have taken first with2.69 million, doesn’t count.
