TV Ratings (Friday/Sunday 20th & 22nd March)

[Jax]

Sunday ratings will be posted tommorow in this thread as I am going to merge the two nights into a thread from now on since they are well quiet nights for these types of threads. (will be posted on saturday or sunday nights)

NEWS

I will start with some news and Marc Berman in his ratings thread for friday night offered an insight that FOX are taking a look at giving Dollhouse some sort of 2nd season (maybe they think it could kick off the night or become a midseason filler in a better slot). 13 episode seasons are cheap and easy to re-air to boost a viewership before airing a new season launch.

I want tonight's rating right now!

 

[Mr Light]

This is the second up-tick in a row for Terminator surprisingly after following below the 3 million range. And Dollhouse, after jumping last week, went down again a smidgen, presumably because of the BSG finale.

[Mr Light]

Yep, KINGS is getting canceled! That's too bad I'm actually enjoying it, and I didn't expect to like it. Those look like pretty bad numbers for the FOX Cartoons as well.

There around typical Spring levels though they could be a little higher I guess, FOX needs to stop having so many repeats which ruins any momentum.

Dollhouse isn't doing as terrible as I thought it would. If it gets renewed I may have to check it out.

 

[Jax]

I still think Dollhouse will be canned though I've heard were out of the FOX wanting to make changes type episodes so its supposed to get really good now until season end. FOX would be wise to shift Dollhouse to 8pm now where Friday is the strongest point to get your viewers though moving it to another night would be good too.

If FOX renews this I can only see it being another 13 episode season but maybe they are happy for that on fridays or they could maybe use the show to plug PB slot in the fall for next season shoudl they wish for a longer season.
