Quote:Originally posted by millernate: I have to ask: Is there any hope for Firefly? With a 3.3 rating in week three (baseball game or not) the situation would indicate no.
Quote:1. Can anyone conjur a situation in which Firefly could conceivably be renewed.
Quote: 2. If not then place your bets here as to when the ax falls (me? I choose after the eighth overall episode, just like with The Tick live-action).

Quote: Umm... there's no reason to believe that it won't be renewed.
Quote: Firefly's ratings haven't been through the roof, I'll give you that, but they haven't necessarily been bad.
Quote: I belive that Fox has faith in Joss, actually, as silly as that might sound.
Quote: He's proven himself capable of building a ravenously faithful audience in the past (something that neither Ben Edlund of The Tick, or James Cameron of Dark Angel had done on television before),
Quote: My final reasoning: Gail Berman. Gail has a personal relationship with Whedon. She knows what he is capable of, and I have little doubt that she is at least a tiny bit biased (in Firefly's favor, that is). As long as Firefly's ratings don't become absolutely hideous (they're only mediocre right now), I belive we'll see at least an episode 22.

Quote: According to a recent Zap2it.com article, "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (the third Firefly episode to be shown) was the highest rated episode to date: 4.3
Quote: Nielson viewers (of which there are only 1,000 or so official Nielson "families") tend not to watch sci-fi.
Quote: , they need to pay attention to Tivo records
Quote: internet buzz,
Quote: C'mon the only thing older and more useless than the Nielson system is the US Electoral College (and look what that brought us).

This led to a vastly inflated number as the actual rating was a 3.3 (about what Dark Angel got at its absolute lowest).

Quote: Actually for all the grief it gave us the US Electoral College is very much still needed. If you want a presidential candidate to campaign in only California, New York, Texas, and Florida then by all means junk the electoral college because they'd end up with even more reason to avoid smaller-to-mid sized states. The system also allows us to isolate problem areas (becuase if we didn't have the "by state" electoral system we would likely end up with one big national election making voting difficulties likely harder to trace).
Quote: Tivo records exist but are considered less than useless for the following reasons: 1. Tivo users right not even in the early adaptor stage so they aren't representative of the population as a whole because they are so new. 2. Tivo apparently allows users to skip over commercials. This is bad, bad, bad becuase TV stations need the number to show advertisers and if the show is popular among a format that allows skipping over commercials...well that just isn't good.

Of course, neither number is really fair, as the 3.3 does not include any viewers in the nations two largest TV markets.
