V made a poor return to ABC last night, according to overnight viewing figures.

The fifth episode of the Elizabeth Mitchell-fronted sci-fi series - the first to air in 2010 - pulled in 7.29m during the 10pm hour.

Last year, the show premiered to an impressive 13.95m on Tuesday, November 3. The second and third episodes were seen by 10.56m and 9.26m, and the last visit of 2009 managed 9.2m.

Yet to see the episode, but what do they expect after such a long break?  I really like the series and I can barely remember things.

Exactly. They should have replayed the previous 4 episodes over two days before the new Episode. I don't understand all these breaks. I remember that there has always been a mid-season break but shows seem to do like 2 episodes at a time and it totally removes the viewer from the show.

Its hard enough to keep up with some shows when they are on back to back, let alone when they have 3 weeks off after every 2 episodes.

I understand the Olympics stopped some shows but 1 mid-season break is enough and they need to sort it out.
