Been looking forward to this every since a co-worker told me about it last year and I watched the first 4 episodes.
Romo 2 Austin;3325927 said:'V' ranks as my 6th favorite show following Fringe, Chuck, Blue Mountain State, King of the Hill and Burn Notice in that order. If Vs ratings collapse and it gets cancelled I will cry, since my former #2 favorite show Heroes collapsed and will redoubtably be cancelled, more than likely Chuck will aswell and KoTH is already cancelled. Leaving Fringe, House, BMS and Burn Notice as the shows I regularly watch that are sill producing episodes, which is sad.
So:
Save V and Chuck please, and Heroes can be renewed too!

I saw an interview Morena Baccarin did and it said about 14 Million people watched the first episode, so it should be around for a while as long as the writing is good.

Set it to record.
Hope it gets better as I really did not think the first four episodes were that great other than some eye candy.
Romo 2 Austin;3325944 said:ABC has said the ratings in the first 4 episodes will not matter at all towards the renewal or cancellation the next 8 will determine its fate, and I read somewhere it will require atleast around 8.8m-9.2m viewers an episode to off-set the cost/turn a nice enough profit, plus the last episode of the 4 ep run only had 10.9m so it depends how many people return after the haitus. If it gets atleast 9.2m an ep for the rest of the season we will see it return, if not it more than likely will be gone.
Heroes was so ****ing good for season 1, and even though two was a huge downgrade it was the best thing on TV, the beginning of season 3 was a humongous downgrade but still the best thing on TV, but then half-way threw 3 it just became complete ****.

'V' returns to ABC, earns mixed ratings

More bad news for the ailing sci-fi genre: The heavily hyped return of V only averaged 7.2 million viewers last night and was bested by a rerun of CBS’ The Good Wife (8.07 million), according to fast national ratings provided by ABC. The return of the serialized drama about an alien species did win its timeslot among the all-important adults 18-49 (2.9 rating/8 share) but that number is sure to drop when Julianna Margulies and Co. comes back with original Good Wife episodes next week. That was V’s lowest 18-49 rating for this season and it only retained 73 percent of its Lost lead-in, though the episode is likely to pick up a million or more viewers when the numbers come in for DVR playback.
Overall, ABC had a respectable showing on Tuesday. Thanks to the reality show powerhouse Dancing with the Stars and Lost, ABC averaged 10.4 million viewers last night — enough to earn second place behind Fox and the Death Star that is American Idol (21.3 million).
V was already facing an uphill battle by returning to the schedule after such a long hiatus. Before its three-month break, the show had lost 35 percent of its audience over just four airings last fall (14.3 million to 9.3 million). FlashForward faced similar difficulties when it returned to the schedule two weeks ago.
ABC did it’s best to tout the return of V, a redux of the 1984 series. The network aired multiple promos for the show during last month’s Oscars and risked the ire of Lost fans last night by running a countdown to the premiere in the corner of the screen. Both V and FlashForward have yet to receive second season pickups.
