ABC's V, a semi-enjoyable series revamp of the pivotal '80s miniseries, scored the highest premiere ratings for a scripted show this season. With 13.9 million viewers and a 5.0 preliminary rating in the 18-49 demo, the series seems poised to thrive during its four-week November stint, just before its four-month hiatus. Showrunning is a rough business these days. In the meantime, let's think of more "V" puns. Like "V is for Vidal Sassoon-Sponsored Aliens." That's all I've got so far. [THR]
