Ratings: ‘Human Target’ shot down, ‘CSI: NY’ tops – EW
Don’t panic, Human Target fans. Just because Fox moved a couple episodes to Friday, doesn’t mean the adventure series is permanently going into the network’s so-called Death Slot.
The episodes were originally planned for Wednesday, but were preempted by the president’s speech, so Fox aired them last night. Still, the results are interesting, especially since Target made our list of endangered shows.
Target dropped 24% at 8 p.m. compared to its most recent Wednesday performance, and then down a little further for a second episode at 9 p.m. (despite the episode being titled “Cool Hand Guerrero”). Across two hours, Target averaged 4.7 million viewers and a 1.2 preliminary adults 18-49 rating. Each rating point equals 1.3 million viewers.
The thing is, for Fox on a Friday, these numbers aren’t that bad.

I never knew the episode was switched to Friday night. I assumed it was preempted and would air the following week. Fortunately I went on their website and saw that it had aired on Friday (it is now Sunday), so I just watched the 2 episodes online. I wonder if this last minute change was why the ratings went down. I have seen some forums that complained that their DVRs didn’t record the shows (my TIVO never let me know that the day had changed either).
Can’t you people leave well enough alone this is one of my favorite series and the interaction between cast is funny and warming. so many different personalities. leave it on.
