The series premiere of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse was seen by just 4.7 million viewers on Friday night and earned a 2.0 preliminary adults 18-49 rating and 6 share, below even the network's modest expectations for the series, The Hollywood Reporter's Live Feed reported.
Dollhouse was beaten in the 9 p.m. hour by ABC's Supernanny (8.5 million viewers, 2.2/7) and is the lowest-rated drama series premiere on a major broadcast network this season, aside from NBC's now-defunct Crusoe, the site reported.
Terminator's ratings are way down as well. Somebody needs to explain to Fox that The X-Files had its success on Friday night over fifteen years ago. It's a bad night for a big-budget series, especially a sci-fi series.
