Monday’s Numbers
By fred | February 19, 2008
With a real strong Deal Or No Deal watched by almost 17 million people (and a 5.2 on the 18-49 demo), NBC was a clear winner of the night. Somehow all its reruns didn’t prevent, or helped even, the Eye to beat Fox in total viewers, but of course Fox performed stronger on the demo.
At 8.00 was the season finale of this pretty awful third season of Prison Break, maybe even the series finale, and it was only watched by 7.4 million fans, half a million less than last week. Still it’s about the average for this season anyway, and with a 3.1 on the demo nothing says Fox has buried the show already.
New “comedy” Welcome to The Captain is already in trouble, which isn’t surprising since the show isn’t funny. After a premiere followed by 8.1 million people two weeks ago, the show only drew 5.5 million viewers back last night. And I wouldn’t be surprised if this was only the beginning of the fall…
At 9.00 Terminator keeps losing viewers every week, and that’s not so good. In the mean time, it only lost 200 000 of them, and remains watched by more than 8 million viewers (8.1 million, 3.2) It’s not that bad. Sure, the show cost more than Prison Break, but the numbers are better as well, and even though Fox couldn’t care less : it’s actually good. No really, it’s a real nice sci-fi series, and I hope it can stay around.
Finally at 10.00 and for the second hour in a row CBS won the slot, with a rerun! Meh. Meanwhile October Road might still be doing bad, it somehow got 400 000 more viewers than last week.
