There may be a glimmer of hope for “Terminator” and “Dollhouse” after all. According to the Hollywood Reporter, both series saw a slight uptick in ratings for Friday’s episodes.
“Terminator” (3.5 million viewers, 1.2 preliminary adults 18-49 rating) went up 20 percent for the March 13 episode “Today Is the Day, Part 1.”
“Dollhouse”(4.3 million, 1.6 rating) went up 7 percent.
After four weeks of gradual but steady decline, the gain could mean both shows have at least found their midseason bottoms, the column reported.
The Reporter indicated that if “Dollhouse” could continue to show growth, it stands a better shot at a second season.
I wonder if those figures are before or after the DVR +7 is factored in. It matters quite a lot, since the first few weeks the totals went up about 30% from that.
These are very modest gains, not all that much to get excited about b/c they could disappear next week. I’d be more interested in seeing the DVR stats go up.
