Will ‘Human Target‘ Weather ‘The Dollhouse Treatment’ Better Than ‘Dollhouse?’quote:
In a Comic-Con panel moderated by our friend James Hibberd, new Human Target showrunner Matthew Miller weighed-in on the Friday night timeslot.
Miller also talked about the show’s move to Friday nights, a night that’s been very difficult for recent Fox genre shows.
“It’s not always the best time slot, but ‘The X-Files’ did well on Friday nights,” Miller said of “Human Target’s” move during its hour in the spotlight at Comic-Con.
I’m not sure I’d classify Human Target as a “genre show” but if I were Miller and had been dealt a similar hand, I too might play “The X-Files” card and hope for the best. Of course, lots of scripted shows used to do well on Fridays for the broadcast networks. The “X-File’s” best years ratings-wise were 1997-1999, a bygone era of broadcast network television.
Human Target will not be alone among scripted Friday shows on the broadcast nets this fall. It will be one of nine joining The Good Guys (FOX), Body of Proof (ABC), Smallville (CW), Supernatural (CW), Medium (CBS), CSI: NY (CBS), Blue Bloods (CBS), and Outlaw (NBC).

Comment: Popping the word x-files and the phrase "did well on friday nights" into Google, I find that this statement has also been used by various people, both fans and in the industry, to describe Dollhouse, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, John Doe and Star Trek: Enterprise. This is without really trying to dig.
I sense a pattern. And a denial of reality.
De vraag is nu even hoever de kijkcijfers gaan instorten als je het vergelijkt met de woensdag voorheen.
Toch denk ik het verlies van kijkers na verloop van tijd te groot zal zijn en uiteindelijk zal verdwijnen.
Een serie moet wel een verdomd sterke fanbase hebben om de
vrijdag bij de FOX te overleven, en dat hebben we niet meer gezien sinds The X-Files.
