"I'm not following preliminary numbers closely, but I don't think 3.4 is a new low for us. Where did you get 3.8 for Prison Break though, Berman has it at 3.5. Doesn't matter really, those are preliminary numbers, the overnights are what I'm interested in.

And of course there was an "incentive": WB put a hefty discount on the price, because it can see the investment as part of the marketing campaign for T4. I'm certain there will be a lot of T4 commercials during the back nine."

"I guess TSCC only appeals to a fringe demo..."

"Whatever the reason the bottom line is that those are shitty numbers. And yes, it does have to do with the timeslot so I'm hoping FOX moves it to a better day for the back nine. But damn, how can we do worse than Prison Break? I guess TSCC only appeals to a fringe demo..."

"Fox has also taken a noticeable hit on Monday with is combination of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (#4: 3.4/ 5), and Prison Break (#4: 3.8/ 5), which is likely to end this season. The two dramas, on average, were down by 19 percent in the overnights from year-ago occupants Prison Break and K-Ville.

Most shows with these numbers would have been pulled and canceled without hesitation regardless of the network.

Was Fox given an "incentive" to give TSCC those back 9 episodes?

"Idont know about the fringe demo, ive met people that dont like sci-fi but like TSCC.
I think it may be a lack of promotion, i never see any ads, commercials, etc for TSCC. Anywhere!!
