Buffy The Vampire Slayer

In an episode that featured Robin Wood (D.B. Woodside) revealing to Spike (James Marsters) that he was going to kill him for killing his mother, UPN’s "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" overtook a The WB rerun of "Gilmore Girls" in the Nielsen Overnight Metered Market ratings for Tuesday night. "Buffy" took in a 3.4 rating/5 share, while "Gilmore Girls" grabbed a 2.7/4. "American Idol," with an 11.5/18, led the hour for Fox.

"Smallville" finished strong as well, finishing about the same level as "Buffy," despite being in rerun status. It earned a 3.5/5, beating out comedies on UPN. CBS was first for the 9 p.m. ET hour with "Celine in Las Vegas ... Opening Night." That program earned a 9.1/14.

UPN finished last for the evening, earning only a 2.5/4, while The WB picked up a 3.0/4. Fox won the night with a 9.3/14.
