But staying the course isn’t going to do them any favors. They need to start making a splash in the ratings if they are going to have any hope of staying in flight on ABC.
Christina Ricci’s Pan Am, while getting a five episode order last week, is still in danger of getting canned, drawing 5.24 mil last night with a 1.8 rating. Par the course, but not stellar enough to guarntee it’s safety.
Meanwhile, ABC’s other freshman drama Once Upon A Time held up, with 11.4 million total viewers and a 3.7 rating, tying with The Simpsons. Finally, Desperate Housewives isn’t going out with such a bang, bringing in only 8.7 million and a 2.8 rating. They could do much better.
Still, could be worse….
