TV Ratings Friday: 'Fringe' Premieres Up, 'Kitchen Nightmares' Starts Well (http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/01/22/tv-ratings-friday-fringe-premieres-up/79750)

Fringe (http://tvbythenumbers.com/fringe-fox)’s Friday premiere 1.9 adults 18-49 rating was a fraction above its Fall 18-49 average rating (1.88) and 12% above its latest new episode (1.7 adults 18-49, 12/9/10). That’s much better than most of our polled readers expected. (http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/01/21/fringe-friday-is-here-for-better-or-worse-guess-the-ratings-poll/79703) If it can maintain that level, I’d expect it to be renewed. That wasn’t the only good ratings news for Fox as the season premiere of Kitchen (http://tvbythenumbers.com/hell’s-kitchen-fox) Nightmares also scored a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating and Fox topped all broadcast networks among adults 18-49.

Keep in mind that Fringe only had good ratings because of no Supernatural so its audience was not split between the two. I say wait until next week to see how this does when Supernatural returns

It's true that it will be interesting to see what it does when both CSI NY and Supernatural are new, but still. This was a great start, and better than a lot of people expected I think. I'm hoping the show can hold on to these ratings or close to them. :)

We just have to take this one week at a time, and hope for the best.

Fringe and Supernatural didn't kill each other on Thursdays. I'm more worried about CSI: NY.

I certainly second that. What an episode it was too.

While I did enjoy the episode...I do think it was the weakest one of the season...

For the most part, in the Renew/Cancel Index Bill is not prognosticating about what will happen in May, but rather what would happen by May if the season ended now. You can count on Fringe being listed as “likely to be renewed” in the Fox Renew/Cancel index, so long as Fringe is maintaining 70% of Fox’s average in adults 18-49 for scripted originals.

I really hope these ratings numbers can remain steady.

Me too! We'll have to see what happens with Supernatural being on this week.
