The WB​

No. 6 in total viewers.

The GOOD

The Gilmore, the merrier: The underdog family drama Gilmore Girls (no 122) outdrew time-slot rival Buffy. Its lead-out Smallville soared at no. 112. And 7th Heaven preached to more viewers than either of those shows (no 96). But in an act truly sent from above, Reba anchored an otherwise bleak Friday at no 130.

UPN​

No 5 in total viewers

The GOOD.

[...] Decent-size audiences boarded Enterprise (making it the netlet's highest-rated drama at no 112) and staked out WB transplant Buffy (no 124). "Both Buffy and Enterprise made statements about UPN." [...] "They brought some new viewers, the add some legitimacy." [...]

The BAD.

Buffy and Enterprise slid a bit after exploding out of the gate [...]

The UPSHOT.

If Buffy's success can bleed into new otherworldl drama haunted and Enterprise can power the remake of The Twilight Zone, UPN just might be able to keep a certain frog at bay next season.
