"Providence" started the night for NBC with a 7.6/14. CBS took second with "48 Hours Investigates," 6.5/11. "America's Funniest Home Videos" on ABC was third, 5.9/22, with FOX's "Firefly" bringing up the rear at 2.9/5.

compared to last week http://tv.zap2it.com/news/dailynielsenrankings.html?28831
"Providence" started the night for NBC with an 8.0/14. CBS took second with "48 Hours Investigates," 6.7/12. "America's Funniest Home Videos" on ABC was third, with FOX's "Firefly" bringing up the rear at 2.9/5.

and 2 weeks ago

At 8 p.m., NBC's doomed "Providence" won the hour with a 7.7/14. "48 Hours Investigates" placed second on CBS with a 7.6/14 as a full hour of "America's Funniest Home Videos" finished third on ABC with a 5.9/11. "Firefly" was fourth on FOX with a disappointing 2.8/5.

now notice that all 3 other shows(except America's funniest video) are down from the 2 previous weeks but firefly isn't! So that's a pretty good news IMO

Well... we'll see if it's good enough in a day or two, I suppose.

I'm not hopeful, mostly because at this point there's nothing I can do, so I may as well steel myself for the worst.

I can't wait until 'Providence' drops out of the race. If Firefly survives, it'll be interesting to see what happens to it in the ratings.

I haven't followed... why is a show with a 7.7 being cancelled?

Because it's on NBC--a much larger network where a 7.7 is considered poor.

But... NBC's season average is only 8.6... and 7.7 is higher than the average for ABC as a network.

The NBC season average is 8.8, therefore shows should match that. Providence has only a 7.7, below standards.

That would be my guess.

if 8.8 is average, that would mean roughly half the shows are above that, and half below though...right?

As I recall PRovidence is getting cancelled not so much for its current rating but because its ratings have seriously declined over time. Couple that with critical comments from the press (and the fact that the lead actress is pregnant, though the network won't name that as a reason for obvious reasons) and you have a show that only got a half-renewal to get it to syndication.

I think people will be grabbed by it." - Ron Glass, on the pilot, during an interview with the Indianapolis Star

More or less.

I think that the 7.7 is too far below the 8.8 Maybe they axe shows who are more then .5 below the average.
