Last night’s ‘Power Hungry’ episode of Fringe was watched by 9.53 million viewers:
This is a firm number, and whilst more people watched The Mentalist, Fringe is still wining over the all important key demos, as reported by TVByTheNumbers:
Earlier in the day I’d facetiously declared The Mentalist, not Fringe as the season’s new hit. The truth is, both shows are hits depending on how you want to look at it. The Mentalist won the hour in total viewers, even besting Dancing With the Stars, but while The Mentalist had more than 50% more total viewers than Fringe, Fringestill easily bested it among 18-49 year olds and when it came to 18-34 year olds, Fringe performed 100% better (3.8 rating vs. 1.9 rating).
More positive ratings news comes in the shape of the DVR figures, which Fringe is ruling. The DVR figures from the pilot episode have recently been compiled and show a massive 20% increase in Fringe’s viewing figures – up to 11.38 million from 9.4 million.
So, if you like this show and you’re unable to watch it as it airs, remember to set those DVR’s!!
