The Hollywood Reporter just gave us all a reason to breath folks…initial DVR numbers are in and TSCC came in at number 1 for the night with Dollhouse gaining 30% on it’s initial numbers:
“Dollhouse” lead-in “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” gained even more - 36%.
By comparison, Friday’s most-popular show “Ghost Whisperer” gained 21%, “Flashpoint” climbed 11% and “Numbers” was up 14%.
The “Terminator” and “Dollhouse” gains are considered very high increases for time-shifted viewing, even for a Friday night.
UPDATE: For the week, “Terminator” was the biggest gainer, followed by “90210,” “Scrubs,” “Dollhouse,” “Priviledged” and “Life.” (Adjusted so they’re all rounded to the same point). Here’s the list:
TERMINATOR 1.4 adult demo rating to a 1.9 = 36% increase
90210 1.2 to 1.6 = 33%
SCRUBS 2.0 to 2.6 = 30%
DOLLHOUSE 2.0 to 2.6 = 30%
