The question on everyone’s mind was how many people would watch Prison Break? Apparently more people had that question than actually watched Prison Break’s return. The original episode at 9pm drew a 1.2 adults 18-49 rating and 3.38 million viewers. That was a little bit worse than I expected. There were fewer people watching broadcast television last night because CBS ran all repeats, but anyone who was hoping Prison Break was going to be a better lead-in for Dollhouse than Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has now given up that ghost!
I actually did think that Prison Break might be a slightly better lead-in, but didn’t think it would make any difference for Dollhouse’s numbers. We’ll have to wait and see what happens next week. But for now it looks like FOX has inched one step closer to returning to unscripted content on Friday night.
It did not do to good
, here is what I thought about the episode last night!
It was a good return after the 4 month break. I think Kathleen Quinlan is an awesome addition to the cast and a very good villain. She just has a very cold vibe about her. It's so thrilling and full of surprises! I didn't wait 3 months for nothing!
