Ratings for SCC and Dollhouse

[ghost2]

SCC bombed out and Dollhouse did not particularly impress, either. The overnights are here. Basically, the number for viewers ages 18-49 carries the weight.

SCC had 3.9 million total viewers and a 1.4 in the 18-49 group--that means that 1.4% of all people in the U.S. of ages 18-49 watched the show. A 1.4 is a low number.

Dollhouse had 4.7 million total viewers and a 2.0 in the 18-49 group. Most shows drop off from their pilots, so likely the numbers will be worse next week. Maybe not, though. We'll see. Friday has traditionally been a weak night for Fox, and I don't know what their expectations were.

Here are some opinions on Dollhouse. They run quite the range.

I haven't seen Dollhouse yet, and nor do I feel particularly inclined to, though I do wish Joss Whedon had a new good show that didn't get canceled right away. Do you think it'll get the Firefly treatment, if the numbers stay like that?

If it maintains these opening numbers, it might squeak by. Fox can't be expecting TOO much on a Friday night. If it drops much at all, though, I think it's gone. It'll probably just air out its string of episodes and not be renewed. Firefly at least got to air I think 11 episodes, even if they were somewhat out of order.
