Ratings: Gone Maggie Gone
Last night’s episode ‘Gone Maggie Gone’ received 5.97 million viewers — beating out last week’s ‘No Loan Again, Naturally’ as second least watched episode of all time. This comes despite Fox’s consistent programming of new episodes, and increase in on-screen advertising throughout the week. But a poor lead-in, an hour of mind-numbing Hole In The Wall, killed any effort Fox had made to bring viewers to the show.
