Lone Star: First Victim of New TV Season
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, Cancellations,
After back-to-back weeks of dismal ratings, Lone Star has finally been put to rest by FOX.
The series—which was given a prime slot post-House on Mondays—opened last week to 4.1 million and a 1.3/3 in the 18-49 demo. A second outing this week dropped even further. The drama lost 900,000 viewers and fell to a 1.0/3.
Shortly after receiving the overnight numbers, FOX made the official decision to pull the plug. Lie to Me, originally slated to return on November 10, will now fill the Monday 9 PM position as of next week.
