Nikita scored the same as a TSC repeat on Thursdays after TVD. Just sayin…
damn it Fringe!!!!
Hopefully Grimm goes up more as there are no more repeats. Well deserved renewal after so many proclaimed it DOA before it even aired.
Warner will have to really sweeten Fox’s tooth to keep Fringe at this rate.
Fringe and Finder are dead? Where are the so called fans?
SPN scored the same as the last new episode of Nikita. Just saying.
CW ratings suck. Just saying
Tell them Hades.
Hope Shark Tank starts beating Undercover Boss soon.
I do not see hour of Supernatural coming back…. this hellatus this killing me
@halloween
I am a Fringe fan like many of us. We just don’t have a Nielsen Ratings box. Just saying.
@halloween
Tell us something we don’t already know. I dread to think what next seasons ratings are going to look like.
SPN repeat on a Friday 0.4/1.03 million
Gossip Girl 0.5/0.98
Ringer 0.4/1.10
Top Model 0.5/1.08
Hart Of Dixie 0.5/1.20 million
Those four were the only new episodes of shows on the CW last week.
@mel
I think its back with a new episode this week
Good thing Fringe is ratings proof, besides everyone knows the Nielsen ratings are archaic including Fox..
@halloween
Correction, Fringe is dead amongst the Nielsen box holders, alive and well in the DVD/Blu Ray market.
@DougF
Scary!
Seeing Fringe, Nikita and Supernatural fans argue over the ratings every Friday and Monday when the finals come out really make Bill and Robert happy. Just saying
There’s simply no way Fox is going to renew Fringe….. TERRIBLE RATINGS!
Grimm is a self-starter. Nice to see it.
a repeat of who do you think you are? ties fringe in the demo and has twice the overall viewers…pretty sad…
@GARebelman
Personally I’m a fan of neither show. Just thought I’ld respond to someone claiming Fringe has no fans. Of course DVD/Blu Ray sales mean nothing against low TV ratings but leave room for Warner Bros to offer a much lower fee to Fox to get the show back on the air.
Although I don’t personally care if any of these shows get renewed or cancelled. I firmly believe Fringe has a fanbase outside the Nielsen households.
Same for any shows, but I just see people speaking about this show too much. Doesn’t seem to be the talk of a show only getting 3 million lol
Ah well. Rambling a bit but strongly feel Fringe has fans.
