Glad Fringe didnt adjust down.
So Prancer returns lower ratings than Nikita? Who wooda thought.
THE OLD MAN Well if Nikita aired from 8-10pm you can bet id would get a 0.3 too.
Kitchen Nightmares is really doing horrible. It used to get mid 1.s last season. What happened?
Good job LMS! Can’t wait to Observe the final episodes of Fringe.
It’s nice that Fringe didn’t adjust down, it’s bumping now that’s on the final episodes! I hope to see the finale hitting a 1.5! (or even higher if possible, but I think 1.5 is the highest rating we could expect, and the likely event is that it will get 1.2 or 1.3)
Fringe viewership was adjusted down, no ?
What a boring night of television Friday is.
I expect a 1.3 for Fringe finale on January 18.
Good to see Fringe hanging in there. I’ve watched the first 4 seasons on DVDand I’m almost caught up on s5 on iTunes, so I’ll be able to watch the last episodes live at least.
Love that s5 takes place in a dystopian future. Makes me think I wish Supernatural had done more than one episode of the Croatoan future. It would’ve been a great way to ramp things up post-Apocalypse.
@THE OLD MAN
Depends on which time slot and which week you mean. At 9pm, Nikita was getting 0.3s and 0.2s. Only its highest demo has been a 0.4 and that at 8pm.
Friday is December 14.
Snowleopard. Why do you need to talk smack about Nikita every post you make here. Are you that selfish to trash a show that other people care for. Just for your Info it got 1 0.2 people obviously forgot it was a new ep that night. so not 0.2s as you say.
@Fred
Are you lost? This is a ratings site. People talk about ratings here. If you are looking for a fan site where everyone loves the same thing you do, you are in the wrong place.
@ thesnowleopard
Actually I was giving Nikita 0.4 @ 8:00 & 0.3 @ 9:00 for a 0.35 avrg. If it did avrg 0.2 ttl @ 9:00, then I stand corrected.
Will change my comment to read Prancer Returns EQUALS Nikita.
If not comment will have to stand as is (ONO!).
I think Fringe may hit a 1.5 or more for its series finale!
Imagine how cool it would be if Fringe hits 2.0 for the finale
Fringe would only get a 2.0 if aired after Idol. Id be happy with a 1.2-1.3.
And why do we care about fringe ratings? The show is over this is the last season. Nothing will change that.
