Sarah Michelle Gellar’s ‘Ringer’ Is A Ratings Flop

Like many Buffy fans worldwide, I waited with eager anticipation for the premiere of Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s new prime time show Ringer on The CW Network.

Taking over Tuesday nights in the same time slot as Buffy spin off Angel, it did alright in the numbers pulling in 2.7 million viewers, but the pilot did not perform as well as the network had hoped.

A far cry from the numbers that WB/CW had with Buffy and Angel on Tuesday night’s block, Ringer still performed admirably: ”Ringer” did a 1.1/3 in adults 18-34, the CW’s target audience.

The show sees Gellar playing the double roles of estranged identical twin sisters Siobhan and Bridget who have been on the outs for six years.

Bridget is a recovering alcoholic and former stripper who is on the run from the mob after witnessing a murder. She reaches out to her sister to try and repair their relationship (and to hide out) only to have her sister disappear overboard during a boating trip they take together.

She then sees the opportunity to ‘take over’ her sister’s life, and soon realizes that Siobhan’s perfect existence, is anything but.

I personally enjoyed the show, and loved having Gellar back on my television screen.
