Fox’s Dollhouse gets huge DVR boost
It looks like maybe that Friday night timeslot is depressing the Dollhouse ratings after all. Dollhouse made a huge jump in viewership for its premiere episode, Ghost, once time-shifted numbers were taken into account this week. The numbers show that its rating jumped 30 percent and went from a 2.0 in the adult demographic up to a 2.6.
This is great news Dollhouse fans. Joss Whedon’s new show received the fourth largest DVR bump overall during the week based on percentage gained. When you also account for great iTunes sales and the fact that Dollhouse remains one of the more popular shows on hulu.com, things are looking up for show.
If you’re a fan on the lead-in show to Dollhouse, Fox’s Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, DVR numbers show good news for that show, although it’s doubtful even good time-shifted viewership will be enough to save John Connor’s badass mom.
Here’s the story from THR.com:
Fox’s new Friday night action block of “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” and “Dollhouse” has disappointed in the ratings, but the shows are racking up big gains once a full week of DVR viewership gets added into the mix.
According to Live+7 DVR data, the “Dollhouse” premiere episode’s rating increased 30% after post-premiere-date viewing was included. “Dollhouse” went from a 2.0 adult demo number to a 2.6.
The show’s lead-in, “Terminator,” gained even more — 36%.
By comparison, Friday’s most popular show, “Ghost Whisperer,” gained 21%, while fellow CBS shows “Flashpoint” (11%) and “Numbers” (14%) also rose significantly.
The “Terminator” and “Dollhouse” gains are considered very high increases for time-shifted viewing, even for a Friday night.
For the week, “Terminator” posted the largest percentage gain, followed by the CW’s “90210,” ABC’s “Scrubs,” “Dollhouse,” the CW’s “Privileged” and NBC’s “Life.”
