Why, cause you think folks won't watch the debates? In my area, "SV" is scheduled at 8:00 and the debates start at 9:00, so I don't really have a choice to make... but, even if I did, I'd watch the debates & Tivo "SV".

So, to compare:
Season 8:
"Plastique" - 4.18 (no final numbers, yet)
Season 7:
"Kara" – 4.586 (final numbers were 5.04)
Season 6:
"Sneeze" – 4.06 (final numbers were 4.05)
To me, this is pretty amazing. First of all, there's the fact that it's the 8th season and it gets almost zero promotion from it's network.
Not only is it holding up fairly well in comparison to previous years, it's even doing better than it did 2 years ago. And this in spite of series losing 2 of it's leads (MR and KK) and those fans more than likely did not tune in that only tuned in for MR and KK. So, this means that the vast majority of "SV" fans came back for S8 - not just the premiere, but the 2nd episode, and these fans had to come back not for Lex or Lana, but for the characters that exist in S8. (I have to believe that the majority came back for Welling/Clark.)
Anyway... my point is that I'm really happy with the ratings & it's no surprise that PS3 (and D.O.) are thinking of S9.
