ABC took over at 9 p.m. with "Dancing with the Stars," 11.5/17. The premiere of "The Mentalist" drew a 9.9/15 for CBS, retaining better than 85 percent of its lead-in audience. "Fringe" posted a 6.0/9, keeping FOX in front of NBC and "The Biggest Loser," 4.9/7. "Privileged" closed out the evening for The CW.

Okay, my bad. I read your post as stating that Fringe came in sixth in its time slot on Tuesday night, not sixth overall for the week. That's much better than I expected.

It's probably not going to last.

" LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
J.J. Abrams' mind-control experiment seems to be working. The second episode of Fox's supernatural science fiction thriller "Fringe" jumped a stunning 45% in the ratings Tuesday night.

"Fringe" pulled in 13.2 million viewers, up from 9.1 million for last week's premiere, retaining most of its lead-in from the Season 5 premiere of "House."

Unfortunately for Fox, the 14.7 million viewers for the medical drama was down sharply from the 18.3 million who tuned in to the Season 4 premiere. Last year, the show aired during the official broadcast premiere week, so it had a more effective launch period.

If "Fringe" and "House" are able to roughly maintain this week's level of popularity, a softer "House" number will be irrelevant. Fox's goal is to have two winning hours on Tuesdays this fall instead of one. If the two syringe-and-microscope dramas can hold steady against the gauntlet of increased competition during the next few weeks, Fox will gain a formidable Tuesday-night beachhead. "

How is a show that's coming in 6th (out of ALL shows last week), NOT going to last? Just because it's on Fox? Give me a break! This FOX hate is out of control here.

If the ratings weren't there, sure, FOX is notorious for not giving a show a chance, but no show that gets ratings like that is going to get cancelled unless the ratings tank from here. So far, it's got VERY strong ratings, so even brain dead network execs aren't that stupid!

I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

Way to take my reply the wrong way. I meant it's not going to last because I LIKE IT. And most of what I like ends up getting cancelled. It was MEANT to be a joke. Get over it.
