- Friday night has generally been the worst possible night for television. It is night known for date night. People don’t usually sit around and watch television on a night where they can go out and have a good time. Fox has generally had it pretty hard when it comes to television on Friday night. There has only been on series that was able to survive on Friday night, The X-Files. Other series that were regulated to the Friday night slots on Fox always ended up quickly canceled by the end of the season.
  
  Now here we are in 2009, and two series have started their new reign on Friday night. Last Friday on Fox, we saw the return of sophmore series, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and the premiere of Joss Whedon’s latest series, Dollhouse. This brings back Eliza Dushku to the network. Her last series, Tru Calling, was another Friday night casualty a couple of years ago. A couple of other popular series that ended soon after the Friday night slot of death are Dark Angel and Fastlane.
  
  The ratings for both series were low, but there is hopes that with DVR viewing throughout the week, they will go up enough to not cause any problems for either series. Joss Whedon has said he knew ratings would be low, but he is looking at the future of the series with DVD sales and other promotion bringing in most of the numbers in the long run. He is hoping Fox sees it the same way.
  
  As for The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the series is in its second season, and it is doing quite well, but ratings have been low this whole year. After some bumpy plot points, the series looks to be coming into its own, but will it last? What do you think?
