canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

CBS TV Ratings for Thursday, March 8, 2012

Published: March 9, 2012

CBS TV ratingsFreshman TV series Person of Interest is one of those rare shows that’s recovered from a ratings slide.

The CBS show debuted with a 3.1 rating in the all-important 18-49 demographic and 13.33 million total viewers. The numbers started to slide immediately after the premiere and dropped to a 2.6 rating by week three. Person of Interest’s demo stayed around that level for the rest of 2011, putting it on the bubble for possible renewal or cancellation.

In 2012 however, the numbers rebounded and have often exceeded the series premiere ratings. If you watch television ratings, you know that doesn’t happen very often at all. According to the fast affiliate numbers for last night’s episode, Person of Interest hit a new series high with a 3.4 rating in the coveted demo and 15.78 million total viewers.

CBS has issued a press release touting the show’s performance, as well as the ratings for their other Thursday night shows.

To see the week-to-week ratings trends, averages, rankings, and more, check out our ratings pages for these shows: The Big Bang Theory, ¡ROB! (absent this week), Person of Interest and The Mentalist.

Person of Interest is THE best show on television right now…both of the leads are excellent, and last night’s episode was especially squeee-worthy! I can’t wait for more!

I personally found Person of interest slow and uninteresting, but then I’m not a fan of either of the leads or procedural type shows. But I can see how people would like it, its fits perfectly in the “CBS procedural” lineup, the fans of that genre go for it. Different enough from all the NCSI shows, but still very familiar and comforting.
