Fringe dropped about 2 million in the finals because of the AI overrun. Unfortunately, Reaper (and 90210) dropped as well. Must have been local sports preemptions.

From pifeedback.com
Fringe (9:09pm, 58 minutes)
- 9.883 million viewers
- 5.7/9 HH
- 4.0/10 A18-49

Reaper
- 2.112 million viewers
- 1.4/2 HH
- 0.9/2 A18-49
- 0.8/3 A18-34

90210
- 1.959 million viewers
- 1.4/2 HH
- 1.1/3 A18-49
- 1.5/4 A18-34

90210 can't even draw 2 million for a new episode. Of course, CW will spin that 18-34 demo to death. Is Fringe any good? Do I need to check it out?

 

[Jax]

I was going to report in my round-up later that several minutes of Fringe is AI overrun, meaning that Fringe most likely got into 9 million range...

90120 will get renewed because it scores over a full demo point better than Reaper in the 18-34 female target...Reaper is dead.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

Too bad Reaper isn't a Warner show. They might go to back for it.

 

[Jax]

I do believe on a different night Reaper would of been a success in terms of CW standards though I think it would of been perfect for a NBC or ABC network.

 

[LutherSloan]

How do Fringe's ratings this week compare to before they went on hiatus? I'm willing to bet there was a dropoff.

Pretty stable actually from what I remember Fringe has held 9-10 million quite a lot with a 4.0 ish demo. Theres no doubt we will see this show around for a few more years (is there a 5 year plan) ?

Last fringe episode was

10.46 million & 4.3/11

but that was before finals which am sure dropped below 10 because of AI overrun.

Dammit, girls! Why are you watching inane Beverly Hills trash when you could be watching a cute, clever, insane little show about Satan and his progeny!

I can recall when the same could be said about Heroes. But at least in Heroes case, it was interesting and fun. Fringe is watered-down X-Files, can't get into it at all.
