How can I combine these two queries?

# select viewerid,count(*) from viewer_movies group by viewerid order by viewerid;
  viewerid  | count
----------+--------
  22964835 |   3055
  22964836 |   1291
  22964837 |   3105
  22964838 |    199


planb=# select name from xenons where id = 23500637;
   name
---------
  x.moray

I would like to end up with a query result like this:

  viewer   | count
----------+--------
  x.surf   |   3055
  x.dream  |   1291
  x.moray  |   3105
  x.sleepy |    199

Many TIA!

Try

select a.name,count(*) from
xenons as a,
viewer_movies as b
where a.id = b.viewerid
group by a.name order by a.name;

If you want to return rows with zeros, you may need to do something like
this:

select b.name as viewer, count(viewerid)
from xenons b left join viewer_movies a on (b.id = a.viewerid)
group by b.name
