Episode 01-01 & 02: Monday, 9/26/11
The two hour premiere attracted a 3.1 rating in the all-important 18-49 demographic and 9.22 million. It was in third place for the timeslots and surely a disappointment for FOX considering the production expenses and promotion.
On the positive side, the two hours showed very good retention which means that most people who tuned in kept watching until the end. That’s a positive indicator for next week.
When you compare this with last season’s 8pm premiere of House, the network was down by 24% in the demo. On the positive side, Terra Nova improved over last year’s quickly-cancelled Lone Star premiere by 238%.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Terra Nova TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

Its a crying shame to see so many of these GOOD tv series start up run for a season or two then be dropped. Terra Nova was one of the BETTER tv series on fox. Would be nice to see it back again even at this late a date.
I just finished watching the First (and only) season of Terra Nova on Netflix. What a fantastic series. I don’t understand why it was cancelled 🙁
Most of what’s on TV nowadays are stupid reality shows. The reality is that we need more like Terra Nova. Unbelievable!
Like (Cooper) I just got Netflix
I liked the show so much, I recorded everything else I watch and viewed 3 or 4 episodes at a time.
I have cable, and if I wanted all the good channels, I would have to sell my house and live in a cardboard box to pay for them.
Just for the record, I do not watch any reality shows !! Nothing REAL about them !???
I think it “SUCKS” to put a good TV Series on then cancel it, I mean really if I have to see one more reality show I will give my flat screen away!!LOL Just kidding about giving away the tv, but I am 59 and love Sci fi. What happen to Secret Circle? I loved that too and The Gates, The stations get my intrest so I watch it then bam it’s cancelled give me a break…I think Terra Nova was great and I hope it returns
It is so sad that they cancel something like this show but can keep shows going like hunney boo boo or sixteen and pregnant. There needs to be a new way to come about making these shows.
our family recently found this on netflix and we love it!! the problem has to have been the marketing. the way people watch tv is changing and a lot of us are tired of the kind of shows the networks are pushing. please someone have the vision to take a chance and promote a different media. there is a market.. we’ll support it
you guys have too bring this show back this waas a a really goood family show , cause there is a very few that the whole family can wacth together please bring this amazing show thank you……..
I can’t get over it ! Terra Nova is really a fantastic show, I want a new season ! Come back Terra Nova !
What the #$%#$#. So thought this was the one that was up on top, no doubt!!!!!!!!!!!! The writing was fantastic.. What happened? Who ever cancelled Terra Nova did not know what they were doing. I hope syfy picks it up. Or maybe TNT. Everyone needs to go to syfy and have them pick it up. So disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its the best drama i have seen in ages, i live in Saudi Arabia and I’m Sudanese (that’s in Africa) and all my friends here and back home loved the series because it gave us hope about family ties and friendships, i really hope the series continues cause believe me there are a lot of rubbish series out there that talks only a bout sex and hate. please please bring back the series as the characters are all grown to us here in our harts. specially the family.
Loved the show !!!!!
Bring it back…. it was one of the few shows that was original and interesting to watch. It seemed like I was constantly running into random people who would ask what happened on the last show if they happened to miss it. It definitely had a following.
Bring it back now – it is so much better than most of the realty shows that dominate the screen
Thoroughly enjoyed Terra Nova – couldn’t wait until the next season began – big shock to hear it was cancelled.
