SciFi Wire, is reporting that the ratings for the premiere episode of Joss Whedon’s new show Dollhouse and the mid season premiere of Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles were below even the low expectations of the shows.
As a big fan of Joss Whedon and the Terminator: SCC, it saddens me that these shows were given the “kiss of death” timeslot of Friday night. It’s like Fox loves to destroy things without giving them a chance (Futurama or Firefly anyone?).
Dollhouse was seen by just 4.7 million people, and Terminator:SCC just 3.7 million.

The fan base is definitely there… maybe they should explore different ways of getting the show out via internet etc.
You’ve brought up an interesting point, they haven’t factored in all the people that might watch on Hulu or FOX websites, because they went out last night. Also DVR and Tivo ratings as well.
Being on a Friday night definitely ups the viewership for online.
Maybe some better news will come next week regarding this.
I’m not sure that Friday is, necessarily, a kiss of death for a show. Battlestar Galactica has had a successful enough run being on late Friday night. And as Padawan John notes, there are other ways of watching a show (including DVD releases).
For Dollhouse, though, I’m not sure there was a big enough push for the show from Fox. Admittedly, they had a difficult job selling the rather obscure concept, but that means either they (or maybe even Whedon at this point) have missed on the more universal themes that can be covered by such a show.
But even taking all of that into account, Fox certainly didn’t sell this as well as they sold, say, Fringe, or even Lie To Me.
I think for Syfy Fridays are different but for network TV it's where they shove shows to die. I know it's been awhile since I posted this article but now we have both Dollhouse and Terminator SCC being cancelled and Fringe was moved from a plush Tuesday spot to Thursday where it had heavy competition.
I just wish that networks would properly schedule and promote these sci fi shows especially when they are good like Terminator SCC and Dolllhouse (eventually in its 2nd season) were.

re: HULU and FOX website viewings… the big question is whether the hits on the web matter nearly as much as TV viewers. Don’t the ad rates for web eyeballs continue to lag far behind the rates for “regular TV” ads?
That being said, Fox has a history of being forward thinking and responsive to new technologies… a big part of the reason FAMILY GUY got resurrected was due to the tremendous numbers on DVD sales, despite its initially lackluster primetime ratings.
[...] of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dollhouse opened to lackluster ratings (see Dennis’s previous column on this), despite bumpers relentlessly flogging the sex appeal. (Terminatrix Summer Glau and Dollhouse [...]
