Fringe held firm in the ratings this week, after it mirrored last weeks ratings performance by scoring 12.091 million viewers, and a 4.8/11 in the key 18-49 year old demo.
Robert Seidman of TVByTheNumbers has more:
I’m not one who thinks that because Fringe is losing 50% of its American Idol lead in that it’s a disappointment. This week’s performance was almost identical to last week’s for Fringe, but the difference this week is that Idol did a bit better because it didn’t have the inauguration as competition.
Keeping in mind that the numbers will change because there’s a minute or two of American Idol rolling over into Fringe, Fringe averaged 12.091 million and a 4.8/11 (rating/share) among 18-49 year olds, second in the hour to NBC’s The Biggest Loser (12.92, 5.0/12). Again, the half hourly drops were noticeable for Fringe going from 13.206 million and a 5.2/12 the first half hour to 10.975 million and a 4.3/10. Minus the small portion of American Idol included in the first half hour the gap wouldn’t be as wide and based on last year, I’d have to guess FOX feels pretty good about Fringe, even the second half hour.
