[Sandfox]

Did you consider that ABC is in repeats? It may go higher..

ABC knows better than to mess with Cookie.

 

[Rhaknar]

Last night....

I meant ratings wise, my bad!

 

[dead souls]

Nope we haven't posted anything about it all.

Wait...is Empire actually good? I'm not being sarcastic BTW.

 

[Palmer_v1]

Wait...is Empire actually good? I'm not being sarcastic BTW.

It's certainly popular.

I haven't watched it and have not heard a single person talking about it. It's been kind of surreal.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Wait...is Empire actually good? I'm not being sarcastic BTW.

I would say half of the cast is horrible but the other half has some interesting characters that are very watchable.

 

[Penguin]

Wait...is Empire actually good? I'm not being sarcastic BTW.

It's entertaining

It's a runaway train that knows it... so it throws any and everything into the show.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Wait...is Empire actually good? I'm not being sarcastic BTW.

I would call it a new generations Dallas. It's very Shakespearian. I like the characters overall its fun to watch.

Spoiler

its based off of King Lear

This show isn't going to win any Emmys lets just say that.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Wait...is Empire actually good? I'm not being sarcastic BTW.

I tried the pilot. It was terrible...a total mess.

Welcome to the top rated broadcast show of 2015!

 

[RastaMentality]

Using only final hour, #EmpireFinale is top-rated episode of any network drama in same-day ratings since the House season premiere in 2009

Amazing.

 

[Wiktor]

I tried the pilot. It was terrible...a total mess.

Welcome to the top rated broadcast show of 2015!

the top rated cable show is Walking Dead

 

[Penguin]

Welcome to the top rated broadcast show of 2015!

Well I believe still mostly Big Bang Theory... though this episode may have overtaken it

 

[Tragicomedy]

Hmmm, both of those examples support the same narrative.

I thought it was fantastic, and especially the music. Was so catchy.

Quality aside, you've got to get over the Terrence Howard hurdle first. I fall on my face every time.

[RatskyWatsky]

All this Empire success must make Terrence Howard feel at least a little bit better about being cast out of the MCU.

 

[Tragicomedy]

For real, fuck Terrence Howard.

 

[TheOddOne]

All this Empire success must make Terrence Howard feel at least a little bit better about being cast out of the MCU.

For real, fuck Terrence Howard.

Yeah, it's one of the many reasons I skipped Empire.

 

[Joni]

People should remind him of RDJs paycheck. RDJ gets more millions than Howard gets viewers.

 

[anaron]

Nailed it!

haha, we totes psychic

(even if it went to .8)

 

[ivysaur12]

Amazing.

Highest rating in FOXs history or no?

 

[ivysaur12]

Highest rating in FOXs history or no?

Definitely not. Idol has gone higher, and I sure something in the 90s did as well.

FWIW, I think The OC and Glee both peaked with around ~5.0s.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Highest rating in FOXs history or no?

Far from it.

 

[DarkFlow]

Highest rating in FOXs history or no?

No, American Idol used to pull 17. I don't even think that's highest.

 

[ivysaur12]

No, American Idol used to pull 17. I don't even think that's highest.

Yeah, I'd bet something in the 90s like X-Files or old Simpsons did better. I'm sure 90210 did better, too. But we don't have those numbers easily available.

 

[DarkFlow]

Here's some from 92-93.

Simpsions has a 13, hell cops is pulling a 9.1 lol.

Those aren't 18-49 demos, from what I've been able to tell. They're just total viewers, in P2 numbers.

Best I can do lol.

 

[ivysaur12]

No, I get it! All I could find once when I tried to look was the numbers from a Becker geocities fansite for one season. #SaveBecker

 

[mreddie]

Definitely not. Idol has gone higher, and I sure something in the 90s did as well.

Dangit.

He obviously wanted Empire to break all records on FOX.

Eat spicy chicken wings.

/Is anyone expecting some shows tonight to get affected by Macho March Madness?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Eat spicy chicken wings.

Bah, that's easy!

 

[charsace]

I can't believe SyFy is bringing back 12 monkeys when they cancelled a great show in Alphas a few years ago.

 

[Fuzzy]

WOW.

COOKIE MONSTER.

Empire Season 2 |OT| Sesame Street's got nothing on this Cookie monster

 

[Mrbob]

All this Empire talk, just tell me Fresh off the Boat is getting renewed for another season.

 

[catmincer]

All this Empire talk, just tell me Fresh off the Boat is getting renewed for another season.

1.0 in repeats vs the voice. I'm 100% sure even if it gets moved to Fridays.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

All this Empire talk, just tell me Fresh off the Boat is getting renewed for another season.

It's definitely coming back.

 

[Sober]

Oh god my IQ dropped from watching 2 episodes of Tommy Wiseau's The Neighbours

 

[Mrbob]

Awesome. Fresh Off The Boat is an anomaly in modern TV by being a legitimately funny network comedy. Would have been sad if it got canceled.
