Here's the continuation of the mid season series report. Take note- of
the 12 series listed here, 6 have already been dumped. 4 more are
lingering,
waiting to go at any time. And the last two, "Andy Richter" and "Greg
The
Bunny," it's too early to tell.
Fox:
Series:
Andy Richter
Controls The Universe: Premiered Tuesday, March 19th.
Record:
Week 1: 9.8mil
Week 2: 8.8mil
We Not a bad drop off in week
two, the coming
weeks will decide whether this will be back or not.
Greg The
Bunny: Premiered Wednesday, March 27th
Record:
Week 1: 10.3mil
Considering the 3mil viewer
lead it has on
what "Titus" usually does in the slot, this one looks like a keeper.
But
week 2 will be critical- neither viewer nor critical reaction to this
series
was strong.
American
Embassy: Premiered Monday, March 11th
Record:
Week 1: 8.2mil
Week 2: 7.8mil
Week 3: 5.6mil
After two promising weeks,
this show dived
in its third. It won't be back.
That 80s
Show: Premiered in January
Record:
Week 1: 11.4mil
Week 2: 9.4mil
Week 3: 8.6mil
Week 4: 7.4mil
Week 5: 6.8mil
Week 6: 7.7mil
Week 7: 5.0mil (R)
Week 8: 6.0mil
It got off to such a strong
start, but is
plunging in the ratings of late. It would take a miracle to see this
one
back.
The Chamber:
Cancelled
Record:
Week 1: 5.5mil
A Friday night dive after a
mediocre start
on Sundays got this show its walking papers after just one week.
WB:
Series:
No Boundaries:
Cancelled
Week 1 2.2mil
Week 2: 1.9mil
Week 3: 1.5mil
Week 4: 1.4mil
Airing on the WB's weakest
night, this show
didn't have a chance to begin with. As viewership dropped every week,
the
WB just has to dump it. but if you were really into the series and get
Canadian stations on you satellite dish, you can still catch it on
Global.
My Guide
To Becoming A Rock Star: Cancelled
Week 1: 1.7mil
Week 2: 2.0mil
Viewership did increase into
week 2, but when
it's this low, it's gotsta go.
Glory Days:
Cancelled
Week 1: 3.6mil
Week 2: 2.9mil
Week 3: 2.9mil
Week 4: 2.4mil
Week 5: 2.8mil
Week 6: 2.6mil
Week 7: 2.0mil
Week 8: 2.5mil
Week 9: 2.4mil
Week 10: 2.3mil
Viewership did stablize, but
this was clearly
the weakest drama on the WB when it started out, so cancellation was no
surprise.
The Jamie
Kennedy Experiment (Premiered in January)
Week 1: 4.0mil
Week 2: 3.2mil
Week 3: 3.3mil
Week 4: 2.8mil
Week 5: 2.4mil
Week 6: 2.5mil
Week 7: 2.6mil
Week 8: 2.7mil
Week 9: 2.4mil
The highest rated show on the
WB's Sunday
night line-up, but that isn't a bragging point. Considering that the
network
is turning away from sitcoms on Sunday next season, this one will be
gone
come May.
UPN
Series:
Under One
Roof: (Premiered Friday, March 22)
Week 1: 2.0mil
A weak premiere will be the
death knell of
this series.
Random Years:
Cancelled
Week 1: 1.4mil
Week 2: 1.4mil
Week 3: 1.8mil
Viewers payed no attention to
this series,

and it was quietly cancelled after two weeks.
