Thursday’s Numbers
By fred | June 27, 2008
Yes, after every Thursday we have our traditional look at the night numbers. As usual I won’t mention anything before 10.00, cause it’s not really worth caring (you’ll look at the numbers below if you’re interested).
So, nothing really new at 10.00, except that ABC had the new Hopkins instead of a rerun of Grey’s Anatomy, so they went from last to first on the slot, no less! With 5.8 million viewers, Hopkins won the slot in total viewers, though it got beaten on the demo by Swingtown (1.9 vs 1.6) It’s also worth noting that while again loosing viewers from its lead-in (1.5 million of them), Swingtown still grew on the demo from a 1.7 to a 1.9
But it keeps loosing and loosing more viewers every week, having 400 000 less viewers this time than a week ago (and from 2.1 to 1.9 on the demo). Fear Itself on the other hand manages to loose less, down only by 200 000 viewers since last week, and stays stable on the demo, yet still doesn’t perform really good.
Updating our table, here’s where we are now :
June 5th
Swingtown : 8.6 M (2.8)
Fear Itself : 5.2 M (2.0)
June 12th
Swingtown : 7.3 M (2.3) -16% (-18%)
Fear Itself : 4.9 M (1.5) -6% (-25%)
June 19th
Swingtown : 6.1 M (2.1) -16% (-9%)
Fear Itself : 4.7 M (1.5) -4% (=)
June 26th
Swingtown : 5.7 M (1.9) -7% (-10%)
Fear Itself : 4.5 M (1.5) -4% (=)
Again I still haven’t watched Swingtown, but I have to admit I lost interest — things are too predictable, or too much. Like last week, and the party with the two “bets friends” fighting at the party for their own life style, or the way Laurie’s relationship with her teacher is going… I don’t know, I’m just a bit bored watching this. I’m still watching Fear Itself though, but it’s quite bad, and if we don’t get a good episode soon that ship might stink even lower…
