From syfyportal, It may take a little while for audiences to get used to watching science-fiction on a Monday night, so until then, "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" may need a little help in the ratings department.
The third episode of the series earned a 5.3 rating/8 share, according to Fast National Ratings from Nielsen Media Research, now about half of its huge football playoffs-led series premiere just a couple weeks ago. "Sarah Connor" took third in its 9 p.m. timeslot behind the 8.5/13 from "Deal or No Deal" on NBC as well as comedy programs on CBS.

"Sarah Connor" didn't get a lot of help from its lead-in. "Prison Break" earned a 4.7/7, beating only reruns on CBS and The CW.

Even with a not-so-impressive ratings trail overall, both Fox programs are bringing in the important audiences that advertisers love. Fox scored a 3.3 household rating among adults 18 to 49, finishing just behind NBC's 4.0 and ahead of CBS' 3.1.

For the night, Fox barely took third place with a 5.0/8 ahead of ABC and The CW, but behind the 6.9/11 from NBC and the 6.0/9 from CBS, according to Zap2it.

Fast Nationals usually provide a snapshot of what Americans are watching by pulling numbers from the top urban markets that includes both live viewing and same-day timeshifted viewing. A rating point generally represents more than 1.1 million households while the share indicates the percentage of televisions turned on that was tuned to the specific program. These numbers typically shift when final ratings are issued.
