Season openers and finales tend to bring in the big figures in the tv world, but Sundays season 15 finale ‘Fraudcast News’ failed to deliver. 9.2 million people watched the Burns themed episode, down 4.2 million on last years season finale double.
With the season over, the ratings this year have been disappointing overall. 16.2 million viewers watched the season premiere, while a couple of weeks ago the show achieved its lowest figure for a new episode ever. The finale was outrated by ABC and CBS’s big guns ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ and ‘Cold Case’ which will remain in their 8pm Sunday timeslots next year. Lets hope the Season 16 premiere in November can regain some of its lost viewers.
