[QUOTE="Villano, post: 479654, member: 505"] I was surfing around looking for last week's rating numbers, when I found something pretty intriguing. Interesting. This means that there will be at least 15 episodes this season. What makes it more interesting is that the decision to film 2 more episodes beyond Fox's original commitment comes after the ratings of last Friday's episode, a 2.9. A 2.9 isn't great, but it's the same as the previous week's, which means that the series is holding, at least. So, Fox is aware that the series is averaging around a 3 (like I said, not a great rating for a major network), yet they want more episodes. Obviously, this shows that the network has some faith in it. The decision to order more shows shot would seem to indicate that they have longterm plans. However, such plans don't usually involve shows with a 2.9. This seems to point to Fox believing that the ratings will rise. On the other hand, it's been holding at around 3 for a few weeks now. I can't believe that they think that ratings will suddenly increase. Obviously, hopes that there will be a boost lie in another timeslot.
