TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES: NIELSEN RATINGS
The New York Times referred to it as "one of the more humanizing adventures in science fiction to arrive in quite a while", while the Los Angeles Times declared the show "has heart and feeling" and "an almost Shakespearean exploration of fate vs. character" that features "plenty of really great fight scenes, and explosions, as well as neato devices developed in the future and jury-rigged in the present." In addition, film industry journal Daily Variety declared the series pilot "a slick brand extension off this profitable assembly line" that showcases "impressive and abundant action with realistic visual effects and, frankly, plenty of eye candy between Glau and Headey."
Not all responses have been positive, however. The Futon Critic, in a June 14, 2007 review of the pilot episode, declared that "it's actually far more ingrained into the Terminator mythology than you'd expect," but stated that "this installment feels less like a 'pilot' and more like an excuse to rearrange the deck chairs on the 'Terminator' franchise to potentially have a TV show." One negative report from La Lamina Corredora reported that "the pilot feels too much like a cheap remake of T2." Lena Headey's Sarah Connor has been criticized for not being as muscular as Linda Hamilton in T2.
SEASON 1
The ratings' trends seem to indicate that one 3-week break, one 2-month break, and the final Friday move are the only factors that seem to have actually affected the ratings. Contrary to popular belief, Terminator did not bleed viewers consistently. Most of the ratings are based on this page on Wikipedia, as well as Marc Berman of Nielsen Media.
Season 2 thousands of viewers and compared with the show Dollhouse that TSCC leads into.
Total viewers also has a significant impact, on Friday nights, total TV watchers fluctuates because of movie premieres.
SEASON 2
The producers of the show announced that it was renewed for a second season, initially for only 13 episodes The new season began airing on September 8, 2008 in the United States. On October 17, 2008 the network gave the show a full second season order, bringing the total number of season 2 episodes to 22. The series went on a brief hiatus mid-season, from December 16, 2008, to February 13, 2009. When it returned, it was scheduled with Joss Whedon's Dollhouse on Friday nights.

I was reviewing the page
http://terminatorwiki.fox.com/page/Sarah+Connor+Chronicles+Nielsen+Ratings And I came up with a better way to test TSCC ratings... compared to other shows. See TVBYthenumb is comparing all shows based on their current ratings... but that's a horribly skewed test. Completely unfair to shows that are not on Monday or Tuesday night at 9PM... Though they compare shows on friday nights too, that's also unfair. They completely ignore demographics & TV networks... Let's face it, sci-fi is least watched on fridays. If we want an accurate test... we need to compare it with a similar show... Prison Break... great comparison. Prison break was also on Mondays for it's 4th season, and then it switched to fridays mid-season, almost like TSCC. Here's the PROBLEM... tvbythenumbers uses cancellation index, based on the shows "season to date". However, for some reason, they delete TSCC's ratings on mondays from this voodoo calculation. This is why Prison Break's "cancellation" index is 0.85, while TSCC is like 0.46. Dollhouse is also LOW for this very reason. They are practically comparing a full SEASON shows ... to MID-season shows with LESS episodes and different time slots. This is called cherry picking data to fit their needs. I also found an interesting article on Nielsen ratings: http://tvoholic.com/news/how-wrong-can-nielsen-be/ Anyway, I am trying to find a list of RATINGS by EPISODE for PrisonBreak, so if anyone finds this, I'll be able to complete a full analysis. Remember, Prison Break wasn't canceled for Season 4, it was decided to be ended by the writers. The story resolved itself. Prison Break compared to TSCC? They are about the same, TSCC has done a little worse from Prison Break, but that's only because TSCC is a much newer show. |

I made two charts and added more data to this page on the wiki... I hope it helps someone reach better conclusions.
I sure hope Fox has statisticians that work on their shows constantly and figure out similar information. http://terminatorwiki.fox.com/page/Sarah+Connor+Chronicles+Nielsen+Ratings |
