Enough for renewal?
I think so vlis -- the last 3 weeks have been fairly steady. But I think they are going to want to see how it performs with repeats of Grey's as the lead-in. I expect it to keep at least 6 million and a 2.0 in the demo. It would be unrealistic to expect it to keep all these viewers with the lower lead-in. These numbers to me are good enough -- I don't know if the lower numbers would be -- hopefully it will surprise me and keep more of these viewers when LOST goes on hiatus. I really enjoy this show, and hope it does get renewed, even if to be used as a midseason replacement again next season.
I'll give ES this, it is loosing viewers at a much slower rate than the new ABC shows in the fall. I doubt it will hold these numbers behind GA reruns, but aside from their hits (GA, DH, EM:HE, DWTS, Lost) few of ABC's shows can hold good numbers without their lead-ins. If ABC decides that 7 million viewers is enough (and they renewed DSM with fewer), they may renew it even if it drops without a lead-in. Of course, it depends on what they have in development too.
I could see ES coming back once--after all, so did What About Brian. But it's got a very limited future. There's just not much of an audience for it. And it would be up against much tougher competition next time.
Thanks for those numbers! I always like to see Eli Stone drop in ratings for much.
