Message: <blockquote data-quote="LightPhoenix" data-source="post: 3155212" data-attributes="member: 115">Quite the opposite.  IIRC, the show lost viewers through every act (fifteen minutes) of the first four shows, consecutively.  That includes between episodes, so the last fifteen of the third episode and the first fifteen of the fourth episode still lost viewers.  I don't know about the fifth episode, but there's a reason FNL was testing in Studio 60's slot - not really to see if FNL would do better, but to see if it would be losing viewers as well (it didn't).Part of the problem as well is that Studio 60 isn't retaining a lot of Heroes' audience, which in theory it should be doing.  AFAIK Friday Night Lights actually was boosted a bit by the Heroes lead-in.Honestly, if the show doesn't turn around soon, NBC isn't going to have a choice but to cancel it.  Just to be clear, by "turn around", I mean stop losing viewers and at least hold steady.  The show is very expensive to make, there's rumors that advertisers aren't happy, and the FNL swap this week shows a lack of confidence in S60 (note, FNL is new this week, S60 is a rerun).[edit] This isn't a great representation due to the World Series and repeats for many NBC shows on Thursday, but according to <a href="http://www.calendarlive.com/tv/cl-et-tvratingstext1nov01,0,5153264.htmlstory?coll=cl-tv-features" target="_blank">this article</a> Studio 60 came in 60th place.</blockquote>
