Will NBC blink if it falls to 1.3? * “Smallville” remains super-weak. The CW had to back up the Brinks truck to get thirtysomething Tom Welling to play Superboy again this season, so I wouldn’t expect much of a future for the Boy of Steel. * CBS’ psychic dramas “Ghost Whisperer” and “Medium” again swapped the night’s number-one and number-two positions. * "Law & Order," still garnering a fraction of its former numbers, nonetheless hit its season high. * CBS’ decision to pick up a third season of “Flashpoint” bodes ill for the pricier “Numbers.” Find James Hibberd’s analysis here.
