Episode 01-03: Thursday, 9/29/11
The demo rose a bit this week to a 1.0 rating with 2.13 million. That was an increase of 11%. Because the rest of the network’s shows are doing so poorly, Secret Circle is CW’s second-highest rated show.
Season average: 1.1 demo with 2.43 million.
Episode 01-02: Thursday, 9/22/11:
Ouch! What a difference a week can make. After a positive premiere, Secret Circle ratings took a big dive in week two. The episode rated a 0.9 rating in the demo and 2.12 million viewers. That represents a loss of a whopping 31% in the all-important demographic. It’s certainly not good news. Will the numbers keep dropping?
Season average: 1.1 demo with 2.58 million.
Episode 01-01: Thursday, 9/15/11
Secret Circle debuted to a 1.3 in the 18-49 demographic and 3.05 million viewers. The series premiere held onto most of the audience from the Vampire Diaries lead-in and didn’t lose many viewers as the hour progressed. That’s positive and bodes well for next week. Though it didn’t have much competition, Secret Circle is The CW’s best series premiere of the season.
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 The Secret Circle TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I loved this show. Once you get into it. They shut it off. Wth. I would LOVE it to xome back for a 2nd season.. I cant promise. But think of it this way. Most time when u canceal a show. Most time when u bring them back. They become the best hit in a long time. Just like Saved by the bell.. but could b better.. So please give it another chance..
it’s really the best show , i would be really glad to see it back at least in 2015
Best show ever!!! I watched season 1 five times and I love it!! Please bring it back!!!
I cant believe CW could renew Beauty and the Beast, Carrie Daries which have had horrible ratings. TSC had better rating and they did not give it a chance. That´s why CW has been sinking in ratings ever since. Cancelling TSC was a HUGE mistake.
Found the secret circle on Netflix and was hooked instantly! Never heard of it before now. CW is crazy for canceling this show. Maybe they should of done more advertising or something. Seems like everyone that discovers it, loves it. Bring it back!
discovered TSC just this month and watched the complete season within one week. I was so excited that I even told my friends about it. My friends hadn’t heard about TSC before, but now they’ve seen an episode, they’re hooked. After seeing TSC, it makes almost all other tv shows boringggg. So p-leaseeeee renew this show <3
*Waiting for season 2*
*Also waits for the dvd/blue ray of season 1*
I want my visitors to see it in my dvd collection 😀
I don’t get it..BATB is doing SO BADLY but they get a SECOND SEASON but this show gets cancelled?? It makes NO SENSE!! I mean, I was just curious why A ****** SHOW like BATB gets a chance when it’s THY WORST SHOW ON CW, when it comes to RATINGS; BUT the ratings for ‘TSC’ is so much better then the CRAPPY ASS show that is BATB???
Boggles the mind!
Watched season one on Netflix and was hooked after the first episode!
Was devastated to learn that there would not be a second season. If not the CW some other network should consider giving this show another go the story line is exciting and the cast is wonderful. It just can’t end this way!
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!! The best show I have watched in a long time. I really hope you bring it back. It just can’t end yet there are to many loose ends. Couldn’t wait to watch it every week. Please reconsider cancelling the show. It is awesome!!!
I think that the CW is nuts for canceling The Secret Circle. It’s a good show and they should bring it back ASAP.. They will lose viewers if they don’t .. They keep shows that should have been cancelled years ago and cancell the good shows. WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING??
I love the show and they need to bring it back.
It seems everytime a good tv series comes on it is cancealed if you aren’t into the same old cops robers and murders it doesn’t succeed The Secret Circle was a good show and I will miss it if it deosn not return. Please reconsider cancealing this program and give it another chance.
i love the secrect circle i think they should bring it back dam idiots that show was so awesome
Loved this show. Please bring it back!!!
i absolutely loved this show it shouldnt be cancelled…
