Thursday’s Numbers
By fred | August 1, 2008
Another Thursday night went by, let’s have another look at the numbers. As usual we move directly to the 10.00 slot, since we don’t care that much about reruns. We can just notice that moving Big Brother on Thursday was a good move for CBS, taking to win of the night in total viewers from Fox, still first on the demo.
At 10.00 Flashpoint also continues to do good for The Eye, increasing its viewership by about 1 million viewers over last week with 7.6 million viewers, winning its slot without any problem. Flashpoint also improved a little on the demo, also winning the slot. Needless to say this sounds much better than what Swingtown used to do… which might be why it’s fair to say the later doesn’t have a future on the network.
Meanwhile on NBC Fear Itself isn’t doing so well, dead last both in viewers (3.9 million) as well as on the demo (1.3) Sure that’s a little better than last week, but so was it’s lead-in, and the horror anthology keeps loosing more than one million viewers from its lead-in, and worse on the demo.
I think it’s clear the show won’t have a second season, but it won’t really be missed either I think. Though the first episodes were clearly the weakest, and maybe they shouldn’t have opened with the weakest episodes they had in store, never a good idea to get people hooked. Just saying…
