One more show returned this week with new episodes, Human Target, and saw an improvement in its numbers from where it was before taking a two week break. The show pulled a 2.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.8 million viewers. Still not great numbers, but at least something to build on. Chuck dropped by a tick from the prior week going from a 2.4 rating to a 2.3, while Lost saw an improvement from its season low numbers last week as it increased to a 4.3 rating and 9.5 million viewers. Ghost Whisperer improved its performance from the prior week and Medium stayed about steady. This week, FlashFoward returns from its extended hiatus so check back with us in one week to see if that one manages to reverse the declining trend in the ratings that it saw last Fall.
Here is the full breakdown of the numbers for all of the Science Fiction and Fantasy shows that aired on the broadcast networks this past week:
