In its fifth season premiere Fringe was down from last year, earning a 1.1 18-49 rating vs. last season's 1.5 adults 18-49 premiere rating. Last year's season finale earned a 1.0 18-49 rating. Your predictions were about right
Via @MaskedScheduler:
1.1 rating in 18-49 with 3,176 viewers
The night's full ratings will be posted soon.
It was nice having the show back, but I thought the episode as a whole was a bit slow.
I dont really love the idea of the whole “Oberservers taking over the world” story arc. But I guess they needed a new idea for this last season.
I still love the show and will definatly keep watching this last season.
I am really looking forward to Supernatural though this Wednesday !
Great episode though. Couldn’t care less about the ratings
No sabéis lo que tenéis americanos para apreciarlo y valorarlo… Estáis abducidos por CSI, NCIS y sus derivados y no véis más allá… Vaya panda de Garrulos VIVA FRINGE!!
It’s the final season so good, bad or burned off we’ll see how it ends!
@NBC is awesome
Wow you really can’t just let us Fringe fans have a relaxed and great time watching the 13-episode final season can you?
I couldn’t care less!!
FANTASTIC EPISODE and it will rate very low until the finale where it will get s slight spike upwards!!
FRINGE RULES!
I’m just glad Fringe fans can enjoy their final season in peace. Not a fandom you see everyday.
I don’t see it falling very far (no more than 2 tenths) for this season, why would you start watching Fringe’s final season and then leave when there is only 13 episodes!
why did fox renew this again, Gordon Ramsey repeats do better…stupid Fox
I was actually spot on with the 1.1 rating…
Wonder where that guy is that said the premiere would get like a .5 or .6 at the end of last season??
Richattack or something
Still higher than what Touch did on Friday and pretty much what it did avarage last season. I wish it had been higher, but who cares? It is the final season
@Halloween
Because they got the episodes dirt cheap and needed them for syndication?
duh
numbers from an insider at NeoGAF:
CSI: NY – 1.3
Made in Jersey – 1.1
Blue Bloods – 1.5
Fringe – 1.1
Grimm – 1.6
@senor chang
if true, GRIMM did very well and won the slot
I voted 1.0 so pretty close! Even though I don’t watch Fringe I’m happy the fans who are are getting a closure season they can enjoy without fretting about ratings and renewal. Hope they have a fun ride! (I wonder if the writers feel like they can go wild and indulge their fantasies without the worry of cancelation, it must be freeing)
Fringe half hours 3.42 and 2.93 viewers. Big drop in viewers Made In Jersey really flopped for CBS with a 1.1 demo.
I think the majority of viewers are like me, they have to watch via the DVR. I still have not had a chance to watch it. But ratings really do not matter at this point do they?
Made in Jersey DOA with 1.1.
Grimm supposedly 1.6, which is great for Friday on NBC.
It was obviously an amazing episode, but I wish, I didn’t read the spoilers. TV-based websites have to take care, that they don’t spoil everything for the viewers.
Yay for Grimm if above numbers accurate! Welcome back to Fridays little show!
