    Oh Fringe. I think it will take nothing short of a miracle to get you picked up this year. Dropping below 3 million viewers must be an all-time low. :(

    It's a real shame, one of the only shows that doesn't assume you're an idiot, with great writing and acting and it has one of the lowest ratings on the major networks. But great shows often go unappreciated :(

    Son of a bitch. Fringe continues its mind blowing streak, and the ratings go DOWN. What the fuck kind of world do we live in where extremely high quality shows like this are always on the verge of cancellation, but shows that are filled with crude sex jokes (*cough* Two and a Half Men *cough*) are massively successful?

    Honestly? I guess the ratings are from another universe. Because in this universe Fringe is mindblowing, epic and simply perfect. I won't ever understand why the ratings continue to go down.

    Just so you know, there have been MASSIVE, I mean MASSIVE declines ALL WEEK in all network shows. (Grey's hit all time low, How I Met Your Mother, Idol down 34% this Thursday from last year.) So much so that they are having Nielsen re-run all of their numbers. (And Nielsen's excuse for the low numbers on Monday was that everyone was out celebrating Lincoln's birthday. I kid you not...there is a NY Times article on it.) So the fact that Fringe held while even Kitchen Nightmares dropped from a 1.6 (or 1.5) from their previous week is pretty stellar.

  10. DavidFebruary 18, 2012 at 4:35 PM

    Yeah, there were many declines this week, Fringe probably would have been up this week had the viewership and ratings drops across all networks never occurred. Fringe will probably be up to 1.2 next week with 3 million plus viewers again.

  11. RobertAriadneFebruary 18, 2012 at 4:36 PM

    God I hope you're right. Next week, it might be the same; because of President's Day. And, another thing: Through every episode thus far, we haven't dipped under 1.0 (take that Richard Steven Hack!).

     I'm really curious to see the other ratings for the other nets on Fri. They always print Fringe stuff first b/c it gets the most reaction and site hit, but I'm surprised that no one is noting the Kitchen Nightmares plummet. That's MASSIVE. Also Modern Family dropped significantly this week as well. There were a few good/funny articles on it in the NY Times and Deadline if anyone feels like reading them. It's funny b/c they nets are acting like they have 'no idea' what is causing this decline everywhere. Here's a hunch...NO ONE watches TV LIVE anymore. Just a guess...lol!

    Really? I hadn't been keeping that close an eye, I just couldn't remember ever seeing them dip below 3m before! I'll adjust 'all-time low' to 'almost an all-time low' so. :)

     Exactly. Remember FOX used to air them and they gave up the contract cause it would hurt their Friday night in sweeps - and this awards show has to run in Feb to coincide with Black History Month. So what Fringe got last night was a major improvement on what FOX had in the same spot last year.

    Why do the Fringe numbers always look so low when it seems to be the most popular show on most websites?! Is someone hiding or manipulating the numbers?! Come on people....just atleast leave ur tv sets on while Fringe is being broadcast! pleasssseee!

     I wonder how long the contract is with NBC? FOX had it for quite a while. And Feb Sweeps aren't as 'big' as they used to be in the past, a .8 isn't good for a struggling net during any sweeps month. They took a risk at least...lol!

    Is it just me or is Supernatural just straight up FLAT at a 0.7 with 1.68 million viewers? it might not be that notable but I don't believe it gets more consistent than that.


    Well, 20 million, and a 4.0 for every episode of NCIS is also amazingly consistent every episode, but that's out of scope for what I'm talking about. :P

  34. Wilson CrawfordFebruary 18, 2012 at 6:20 PM

    Yeah, we had a horrible 2 weeks where it was 1.1 and 2.87 and then barely under 3 million...then an upswing to 1.2 with 3.6 million if I remember correctly, and since then, a flat 1.1 for a few weeks.

    Well, this isn't an all-time low. It IS for the rating, but that's BEEN at 1.1... but the overall viewer count HAS been lower. Let's just hope it doesn't continue to drop!

  38. Chris RobertsFebruary 18, 2012 at 6:22 PM

    Oh Man.A piece of good news.Nikita rose slighty to a 0.6 In Demo.That means In 18-48 Demo more were watching Nikita this week than Gossip Girl.And this week noone can dispute Supernatural only
    did slightly better than Nikita.It got 0.7 In Demo to Nikita's 0.6.In overall Nikita got 1.60 and Supernatural
    1.68.

    Now to further make a point I made In another thread this week Ringer which gets tons of ads got a 0.9
    which Is higher than Supernatural.

    I am hoping the CW realizes on Fridays they aren't going to do any better than Nikita and Supernatural
    and just keeps the lineup Intact and It Is on Mondys-thursday they put new shows on.That would please
    fans of their 2 biggest male watched shows.It's mostly women who watch other CW shows with exception Of Vampire Diaries and Ringer.

    Fans of Fringe should remember plenty of other Fox shows never got the chances they have gotten.They got to a fourth season.I wish Firefly,The Sarah Connor Chronicles,and DollHouse would
    have gotten that chance.Hell I would have like one full 22 episode season of DollHouse.

    Fringe fans, we really need to double our efforts in getting the word out online. Next week's episode looks like a big one, and it could be the perfect chance to get old viewers to come back if we can only take advantage of it.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Robert O'DonnellFebruary 18, 2012 at 6:41 PM

    I think the declines this week could have been a result of the proximity to Valentines Day. People don't really celebrate President's Day, so we can't use that as an excuse if the ratings drop for what looks like the biggest episode of the show's run.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Robert O'DonnellFebruary 18, 2012 at 6:42 PM

    Only about 100,000 households are measured for the Nielsens, so them thinking they can measure viewers in the 10s of millions is a HUGE extrapolation.

    You're absolutely right. We've got to run the demo up to at least 1.3, and viewers back over 3 million. How do you think we can do that?

    Robert thank you for your answer :))), in every way,  Nielsen ratings aren´t reliable indicators of real viewership,  I think there is time and realm for change of this measuring, it would be great, if there will be a possibility to alter this way :)

    For this week's ratings (for every show and every net) it was literally every single day this week, not just Valentine's day (Tuesday) that saw the drastic declines. That's why the nets are having Nielsen 'go back and check' to see what happened/is happening.

    "Now to further make a point I made In another thread this week Ringer which gets tons of ads got a 0.9 which Is higher than Supernatural." 


    What are you talking about? Ringer only did 0.4 in the finals this week. Ringer hasn't had an 0.9 in A18-49 since 9/27/11 unless you're referring to a younger demo (A18-34, W18-34). Yes, I agree about all the Promos for Ringer - I found them extremely annoying. 

    I like Nitita, too.

    Can't complain, Fringe has been steady with a 1.1 for the last several weeks now and that slight uptick the other week to 1.2. And this makes that Richard Steven Hack person look like an idiot since he made his 'prediction' that by episode 13 Fringe would fall to 1.0 in the demo by now which, guess what, HASN'T HAPPENED YET! :D

  61. Ally7February 18, 2012 at 10:55 PM

    And you have to consider than Nielsens seem to be ''against'' genre shows or people who could love them, I know a friend who live the US who once had a chance for a box, she needed to complet a questionnary where she pretty much said that she didn't like reality tv, doesn't listen to the romance tv, doesn't listen much to procedural shows, she likes scifi, she likes old music rock and that sort of stuff, and she got an answer from Nielsen that she couldn,t have the box cause she wasn't the ',average'' type

    And after people are wondering why genre shows are having small viewers while vampires and reality tv is having huge numbers, its because Nielsen chose who they want

    The only shows that have done better than Supernatural in demo this week are One Tree Hill and Vampire Diaries.  However, if Supernatural gets adjusted up like it has for the past several weeks, it would be tied with One Tree Hill at an 0.8.  Perhaps you meant that Nikita did better than Ringer did this week and that would be true.

    Last week Supernatural ended up at a 1.88 and a 0.8 in demo.  But yes, it seems pretty consistent.  I would expect it to adjust up again on Mondays but that may just be wishful thinking.

  69. Ally7February 19, 2012 at 5:11 AM

    We just never know, we got adjusted twice around 1,69-1,72M, and we're at 1,68 for the first numbers, maybe the final number will go up just a little , just enough to push it to 0,8 :) ...but yeah, nothing's sure, it will be a close call

  73. Ally7February 19, 2012 at 2:57 PM

    the demos are a lot ..LOT...more important than the total number of viewers and in demo, SPN has been steady since the beginning of the season,  0,7 and 0,8 in all the final demos. SPN and the vampires are the only 2 shows who haven't drop since their return and being adjusted up to 0,8 is still possible , we've done it twice with more or less that same number of total viewers

    So don't worry :)

  74. pinkphoenix1985February 19, 2012 at 3:19 PM

    Oh I know. And S8 is very likely especially when the other shows underperforming as they are. It just is that it is sad to see the numbers for Supernatural when not two years ago 1.68 was for a rerun not a new episode you know?

    ReplyDelete
  75. Ally7February 19, 2012 at 3:27 PM

    I know what you mean :( but I think there's has something to do with the whole CW falling and not only SPN, others shows are failling harder. Where I live I need to pay to get the CW while I can have ABC, NBC, FOX and all the others big for ''free'' (I mean I just have to pay my tv and not something else just to have them) and I heard its the same in other regions. Maybe some person decided they didn't want to pay anymore for the channel as a whole

  76. pinkphoenix1985February 19, 2012 at 8:19 PM

    *nods* I know (I'm not from the US but I get it). I think that it factors into how they market/renew shows but honestly? the CW is doing much worse (I think) then both the WB and the UPN did and that isn't a good thing. 

    If they don't have a hit on their hands soon or in a couple of years- I don't think that they will keep going...although their demo target seems to be very limited as are the genres they chose. Genre isn't what makes ratings unfortunately.

    Or if they could stop pay the people pay to have it. I'm sure they could gain more money if they could have more viewers and sold publicity at a bigger price. Sometime I wonder myself if i should keep paying 5$/month to watch SPN while I could wait 1 hour and have it for free online

    Not sure if Spoiler-TV reports this because I just checked last week's ratings and there is nothing there, but Supernatural was adjusted up again this week to 0.8 for Adults 18-49 and 1.74 in total viewers.

    For a 'network' like The CW, 0.7 to  0.8 makes a certain difference, especially when considering the chances of renewal..

  82. isleofskyeFebruary 22, 2012 at 7:57 AM

    You beat me to it. :)

    I myself, was just going to comment on the adjustment up of Supernatural.

    Well done show and well done the Nielsen Box owners, a steady amount of whom ,lately, have been consistent with the show, even against Grimm and Fringe.

    Perhaps the showings on the TNT channel have attracted more people.

    Having said that however, I would love it if the  show hit a higher rating to give an ulterior satisfaction to the fans, and a thumbs down to those detractors who say the show should end!.
