Holy crap Fringe has retained viewers.

 

[Skywalker]

And 90210 has bled them. That's both good and bad. Good because I hope the show dies a quick death. Bad because if it fails, the CW might go belly-up before Supernatural gets its five seasons.

 

[Mr Light]

Wow. Good-bye, Terminator. Too bad I was enjoying it.

So Fringe's pilot only racks @6 mil, but its second episode gets 13? Sounds like its completely dependent upon House.

 

[benny]

I wonder just how much of Fringe's viewers were people who didn't change the channel after House? Regardless, it's a nice bump from the 90 minute premiere.

 

[Starbreaker]

I imagine a lot of people saw the pilot that was leaked online too. Let's be honest with ourselves... people with Nielsen boxes are probably TV junkies.

About half, I'd guess.

people with Nielsen boxes are probably TV junkies

The usual complaint is that they're idiots who don't watch the right shows (ie, the shows I like).

Wow. Good-bye, Terminator. Too bad I was enjoying it.

At least we're getting a full 22 episode season.

Re: TV Ratings - Jericho/SCI FI Talks

Got some TV news here and its ons Jericho, which I thought was totally dead after a summer of no news but Carol Barbee was on Shauns Show and told fans...

Originally Sci-Fi wasnt looking for new episodes but they are now in talks with Paramount, which are still in the works.

The budgets are not that far off and Carol feels that they could work within the budgets available without too much trouble

COMCAST/Direct TV like the deal with Friday Night Lights is still on the table

Movie option still open as failsafe

I suppose she means DVD/TV movie.

Cast is still on board if it continues

Majorty on cast onboard is good but something must be annoucned before end of year IMO.

Re: TV Ratings - Jericho/SCI FI Talks

Good to see House kicking ass as usual. And as someone that's actually enjoying Fringe, I'm glad it's doing well (even if it's thanks to House). Too bad about TSCC though.

Re: TV Ratings - Jericho/SCI FI Talks

Loving the Jericho stuff, but haven't a couple of the cast signed up to other things? Although I guess Lennie James' committment to The Prisoner remake won't be that long, it's only six episodes.

Re numbers, bad drop-off for 90210, but it looks as though the mid 3m mark is about the average for the CW at the moment, which in itself is an improvement on last year.

I'd strongly prefer Esai Morales to be back on Jericho if by some miracle it revives. It wouldn't be the same without him. But Caprica hasn't even been greenlit yet, much less proven it can survive. And The Prisoner doesn't sound like it's planned to be more than a miniseries.
