3.7, i was dead on. V is not a show everyone is gonna like so this drop was expected. This weeks episode was better than the first so hopefully it’ll only drop to a 3.5 next week.

10.6 mil / 3.7. It’s doomed if you ask me

If demo drops the same percentage as overnights, we’re looking at 3.7. Bigger drop than I was expecting, and probably disappointing for ABC. Especially if the problems only began in the second or third episode, and the big drops were supposed to be for the next two weeks.

over 4.5, lets say 4.7 ans 12-14 million viewers

6.3 in the overnights, down from 8.7 the week before.

4.0/10 with it dropping to below 3.5 by the time the fourth episode is shown.

“80 million people watched you last night.”
“No. 80 million people watched Anna.”

Heh. 80 million.

By: Mike

I’m going 9.8 Million 3.9 demo

I also actually watched the show last night – not exactly a blockbuster, but it was alright compared to other offerings.

The nosedive will come with episode 3, when it’ll be under 10 million viewers.

By: Doug (2)

Doug (2) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:53:57 +0000

I’ll go downwards. Based on the number of pages on the TWoP V episode thread compared to last week, I’ll go 11 million and a 3.8 in adults.

It could come in stronger based on the buzz from last weeks numbers. Rare, but not unprecedented.

By: Me

I’ll guess 4.8 demo with 13.2 million viewers.

By: Jack

5.4 demo and 16 million (it is crazy enough that it might happen).

Phil, be careful when using Wikipedia, anyone can go there and edit information, so while it may be accurate information Wikipedia isn’t a reliable source for correct info. As far as I know, ABC hasn’t released their midseason schedule yet, but they should be putting it out soon.

To Chaz

I agree with you that the second episode was just as good as the first. Epecially the first 10 minutes. Hope the rating will not drop too much.

4.0 around 10 million

By: Mickey

10.956 million & a 4.3 in the demo.

By: Michael J

Michael J — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:32:47 +0000

It wasn’t a bad episode and while I won’t guess as to actual numbers, I expect it will go down a little but too much.

By: Trey

Trey — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:54:45 +0000

Heroes’ ratings kept rising in Season 1 because the show kept getting better and better until it was just ridiculously good. The show still has that addiction factor to it.

Lost has it as well.

I don’t know about V. I liked the premiere episode and the second one was all right. We’ll see where it goes.

5.0 18-49 and 14 lil. viewers.

By: john conner

john conner — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:58:06 +0000

a 5.5 rating with adults 18-49 and averaged 15.1 million viewers
most said it would go down so I will say the opposite.
I think anyone seeing the pilot will want to see ep 2 and maybe a few others check it out. the drop will be next week.

Between 15 to 13 million viewers

By: Fabio

Fabio — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:27:47 +0000

I hope it beats NCIS in the demos…

for me 4.6/12 11,8 million viewers.

By: Fringfan

Fringfan — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:06:34 +0000

It’ll start with a 4.2 and drop to a 3.6, 11 to 8 mill. That’s what the numbers tell me but I say 3.7 and 9 mill final

Scott Rosenbaum from Chuck is replacing Scott Peters as Showrunner. I have some faith because Rosenbaum wrote for Chuck, one of the best shows on tv!

By: MC

MC — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:42:34 +0000

10% drop in viewers and demo…so 13 mil and a 4.7 is what I’m going with.

Abc’s mid season is on wikipeida. Is there info right because it says lost is on thursdays and flashfoward on wensday and the middle is on monday??

By: vsaint

vsaint — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:24:15 +0000

Would it really get that killed at 8pm Tuesday.
IDOL and Biggest Loser, somewhat similar audience, reality audience.
NCIS, cop. I normally watch this, but will watch V, since Police Procedurals are a dime a dozen.
There’s a reason the show has been revamped, good actors that were very average, rushed pilot, stories and writing sloppy.

I’m guessing 4.2 and 11.2 Million.

By: TomKH

TomKH — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:23:20 +0000

Over.
5.5 with 14.8 mill.

Same thing happened with Lost. It’s more of a cult hit.

Heroes went up to 16 then slowly went down and If you notice each episode every season goes slightly more down.

By: Parenthood

Parenthood — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:56:02 +0000

If memory serves me correct, didn’t Heroes S1 ratings go up with each episode? I think at it’s peak it had 16 million for one episode. Same thing happened whereby one episode had 20 million. I think this is what happened.

By: Dan

Dan — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:50:04 +0000

Any series gaining viewers would be a shock, though that was the case with CBS’s The Mentalist, it did air after NCIS which also kept rising. For V, I see the series have a slight drop, but like everyone else if numbers went up, Id be surprised. ABC may wish that they had more eps in the can so the series wouldnt have such a big hiatus.

By: Parenthood

Parenthood — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:42:53 +0000

But, then most people didn’t expect it to get that many viewers the 1st time. This reminds me of Heroes S1 where you had mixed reviews of the pilot and it became a big hit anyway.

What Tommy said.

FYI: I’d be shocked too!

By: Tommy

Tommy — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:39:33 +0000

I’d be shocked if it get’s the same as the premiere, let alone if it goes higher….lol

By: Parenthood

Parenthood — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:24:48 +0000

Would anybody be surprised if the ratings went up for the 2nd episode?

By: Harold

Harold — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:01:40 +0000

I’m predicting a solid 25% drop in the demo. The drop in the number of viewers will not be as large.

I’m guessing 3.9 / 11.5 million.

By: Dan

Dan — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:55:51 +0000

It will amaze me if ABC finds time slots for all these series come midseason.

If the fact that this second “V” ratings prediction post has drawn half as much interest as the first one is any indication — and it isn’t — then

By: Dan

Dan — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:39:56 +0000

But its Lost’s final season so, ABC may want to have the show hold up against Idol and NCIS as opposed to a new series like V. Thats why its also likely for Lost to air at 10 (wednesdays)

By: Tommy

Tommy — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:32:09 +0000

We all know it will take a hit if it stay’s on Tuesdays at 8, Idol hurts everything it goes against. I still think ABC should put DWTS results at 8, but they likely won’t be willing to put it against Idol.

By: Grady

Grady — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:25:01 +0000

4.9 and 13 million is my guess. I’d love for it to even better, though. I’m completely hooked already.

Much more interesting: How will it do for its 5th episode…

By: Dan

Dan — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:22:17 +0000

Shelly – Also V returning March complicates things further since ABC will have Lost by then and other series. Yet if V returned Jan, it would have a nice open slot and would be able to continue and air all 13 eps out in time for another series to take its place.
