All three freshman shows have hardly been a big success but the network’s whole schedule is down. As previously mentioned, Ringer’s the third-highest rated TV series on the network with a 0.9 average rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.99 million viewers.
The Secret Circle is a no-brainer. The show is doing a bit better than Ringer with a 1.0 demo average and 2.31 million viewers. It’s only bested by its lead-in, The Vampire Diaries. The most recent episode drew a 0.8 rating with 1.96 million.
Hart of Dixie’s full season order is a little more of a risk. Thus far, the season’s averaged a 0.7 demo rating with 1.73 million viewers, essentially the same as Supernatural and Gossip Girl. Except for Nikita, they’re the lowest-rated shows currently on the network. This week’s Dixie fell to a 0.6 rating.
Here’s the press release:
