UPN looks to be happier than ever that they wooed BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER away from The WB. The program's sixth season opener on the network scored big in the ratings pulling in the series' second highest audience ever, 7.65 million. In addition, it was the highest rating for the network's Tuesday night broadcasts.


The opening episode scored UPN's best ever ratings in 18-49 (3.8/10) or adults 18-34 (4.8/14) age groups, as well as the male and female breakdowns in both categories.


While talking to the trade, BUFFY creator/producer revealed that the good ratings news had put "a little more bounce in our step today, which is a good thing since we're shooting a musical episode."


He added, "I don't usually look at ratings ... (but) I'm pretty damn thrilled."
