  1. I assume those 15 minutes are for Past Life. Wow, it did even worse than I was expecting.

  2. Yep. And yep.

  3. rob

    If you really think about it, how many shows have been in that timeslot in the past month? like 3 shows. Human Target, Kitchen Nightmares, and now Past Life. Maybe if FOX were to let a show grow in that timeslot, it would do better.

    Good for Lost!!

  4. UKD

    That’s rather grim for Past Life. What kind of numbers did Human Target get in the post idol slot?

  5. Mel

    Past Life is . . . past. So, does that make Human Target look better by comparison?

  6. Lisa

    Ugh! That is absolutely awful for Past Life. I’m not sorry, though, because I didn’t much enjoy the show. It brought nothing special to the table. I think people didn’t tune in because they were not interested in the concept. Also, I’m not sure how much promotion the show got during Idol since I didn’t watch the commercials, but that could have had a big impact. The number of people tuning out during the episode should say something about what they thought of it!

  7. Hasbi Akkoca

    NCIS: LA was crossover, I didn’t watch 114 yet, but if 115 is a crossover, I will immediately watch it.

    Quick answers will be apreciated. :)

  8. dre

    it was not a crossover but did get a lot of air time during the Superbowl….an was one of the best written episodes so far

  9. MNIS

    Wow at Past Life. Don’t really know who will miss it, though. The premise is utterly dumb and apparently the execution doesn’t give much either.

    I’m guessing this makes Fringe look better.

  10. Empire

    Considering most people knew the first episode by heart, because the promo literally gave everything away, I just like FOX am not surprised by Past Life not doing well. However I think the premise isn’t too bad. Human Target is another dud. Hopefully FOX realizes the screw up and it works out well for both Fringe and Lie to Me. Depending on Kiefer 24 could be done, human target is horrible, Past Life isn’t looking good ( Deep End 2.0) and SYTYCD might just air during the summer time again. So I hope something gives soon, would rather see Fringe and Lie To Me return then watch these mid-season replacement crap.

  11. Seymour Hall

    PAST LIFE and HUMAN TARGET are both gone. I think/hope that FRINGE gets renewed.

  12. Samuel

    Argh, 2.4 fir the second half hour of past life… Well I guess this is “good”for Fringe, well at least it can’t be bad!

    So past life is done, now let’s see how will human target do tonight, and Idol too.

    Lost at 5.0, I’m impressed

  13. vsaint

    i think people forget to turn off channel on ncis:la.

  14. steve

    Wow at NCIS:LA retained pretty much everything and prob best ep so far and no it was not a crossover.

  15. forg

    Yay at LOST getting a 5.0 :D

  16. Could this be the end of scripted tv as we know, reality tv is taking ove and that is sad

  17. John

    This isn’t the end of scripted TV. Look at Lost’s or Big Bang’s or NCIS’s numbers. “Past Life” is just a ridiculous show and one wonders why it got on the air. It’s not so much because of its premise but because the plot of the premiere episode had so many illogical loopholes.

  18. wow, almost everyone tuned out after Idol, and many of those who didn’t tuned out fifteen minutes into past life. I’m predicting as low as a 2.1 for Thursday’s episode.

  19. Tanner

    Why hasn’t there been a DVR ratings post since early December? Do you not get them anymore and is there a website where I could find that data?

  20. Don

    I would like to see Human Target and Fringe renewed. Lie To Me has lost my intrest. I wish they would drop secondary story lines. They have too many of them.
