Ok, as of 10:15A PDT, I haven't seen anything with demo data yet. Ghost Whisperer seems to have done well as usual. Dollhouse averaged a series low 2.99 million viewers, but I'm not sure yet how it performed in the demo. We do know however that FOX averaged a 1.1 among 18-49s between 8pm-10pm so its fair to guess that neither Prison Break or Dollhouse did better than a 1.2. What does this mean? Well, Prison Break was already definitely not coming back. Dollhouse looked like it was certainly not coming back either but maybe, possibly, if the ratings went up, even a little...But they did not.
Update: James Hibberd reports Dollhouse scored a series low 1.2 rating with adults 18-49 while Prison Break did a 1.0. Ghost Whisperer scored a 2.1, though even that was down 16% from its last original airing.
You can compare with previous Friday overnight reports.

Definitions:
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.
Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.
Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)
Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs which are currently in approximately 24.4% of all U.S. TV households. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

fail
aww dollhouse :/
it was a very boring episode tonight as well for dollhouse.
I wasn’t surpirsed by the low ratings.
However next weeks looks good =]
go cbs friday nights are great
Sad to hear about the new low for Dollhouse, I guess we will just have to enjoy the final two shows in the upcoming weeks. I did watch Prison Break too, there was a line last night, when the guy at the airport says something like “You will go to prison” and Micheal says, “Which One?” it reminded me how much I liked the first season !!!!
This lineup makes TGIF … I just remember a show I wouldn’t watch on animal tranquilizers, with three bozos and Lori Laughlin and a twin lemur act, and et al … look like Milton Berle,Ernie Kovacs and Lucille Ball. Ugh, ugh, ugh.
Bye, bye, Dollhouse. Thank God I didn´t get too attached cause it´s definitely not coming back. Chuck, on the other hand, still might. Go, Chuck! Go!
NOOOO!!!!
(
Ugh good bye dollhouse u will be missed!
We made it this time to the 6th reply before the first Chuck reference. Might be a new record !!!
Hmm there u go guys TSCC was a better lead in after all.
What a shame for Dollhouse
but maybe just maybe …..
Great news for Ghost Whisperer though, another of my favourite shows.
Would it be crazy to say TSCC might get renewed? i know someone had to say it lol.
Do we still think that there still hope for dollhouse ? ,OR should we already say REST IN PEACE and enjoy the last couple of episodes :S !!!
Well, I’m at least glad that Whedonites will now be forced to stop blaming the crappy ratings for DOLLHOUSE on THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. As an admirer of *both* shows, I found the constant desire to trash one in order to promote the other rather… distasteful.
That being said… if I had to pick one show to come back next season, it would still be CHUCK!

I´ll try and be faster next time, Doug. Don´t you worry
By the way, only two posts before I got a reply. Good for you!
Interesting. Dateline in that timeslot used to crush everything else, but ABC went with 20/20 counterprogramming (they usually have Super Nanny there), and it looks like they split the audience, letting Flashpoint take first. But we’ll have to see what happened in the demos.
FOX SUCKS.
Too bad for Dollhouse . Well , I have never watched Dollhouse .This year at home we have only watched cable , networks ,specially CBS ,has the tendency to cancel shows leaving the viewers hanging in there with no closure at all, and I am talking about shows with 7 or 8 million viewers , no 4 millions viewers shows that clearly can not go on. So last season we decided to go cable , and if we feel interested in any network show we would wait to see how it is doing , if it gets renewed , then we will buy the DVD or go Itunes, and if they get canceled then we will only buy the DVD if the story got some closure at the end. I have more things to do than having my family, specially my kids ,feeling like crap for weeks because a network canceled the show we were following leaving us with not ending at all. Still, sad for Dollhouse.
“Well, I’m at least glad that Whedonites will now be forced to stop blaming the crappy ratings for DOLLHOUSE on THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES”
I’ve found all the inventive ways they’ve come up with to say it isn’t the show or Whedon’s fault more interesting than the Dollhouse itself.
Will Joss be able to get a job next season on NBC’s smash mega monster hit new remake “Parenthood?” I mean, he worked on it the first time around. The least Ron Howard and Brian Grazer can do is give the guy some work for all 13 weeks the “new” show will be on.
