AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2, Episode 2 Marks New Ratings Low In Series' History

Things aren't looking good for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.! The season two premiere clearly failed to hook viewers due to the fact that last night's episode marked an all-time series low in terms of ratings. Could cancellation be looming for Marvel's first live-action TV show?

When Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returned last week, ratings were roughly the same as they were when season one came to an end earlier this year. That wasn't a great result, but not too terrible either. This week? Well, things aren't looking good for Marvel's first foray into live-action television. "Heavy is the Head" managed a 1.7 rating in the 18-49 demo and scored only 4.54 milion viewers, an all-time series low for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Though DVR numbers will help, the series just isn't attracting viewers for its live broadcasts...are people just not interested enough to watch live or is it that they just can't stand literally the most annoying live Tweet-along ever from Marvel and the cast? Regardless, what's notable about these numbers is that the show suffered a huge drop from the 5.98 million viewers who tuned in last week and this is the first time the show has attracted less than 5 million for any episode. Is cancellation beckoning? Not necessarily, but season three seems unlikely! Marvel have gone from strength to strength in theatres, but is this their first failure?

Only Josh has the ability to start a level 7flamewar from the teaser paragraph alone.

Really? Damn. The show still isn't perfect, but I think they have done a great job at fixing what was wrong with season one.

This doesn't even qualify as news. No other news website on the Internet has reported this so clearly it's just a tiny detail CBM .com's sultan of scumbags, Josh Wilding is extorting for clickbait.

This show man. Just this show.

What happened here?

Why does Marvel seem to be incapable of making a good espionage/spy show?
I mean seriously! Shows like Leverage pulled that off for 5 seasons. Freaking Mission Impossible was doing it in the freaking 60s! And this show is coming from the same company behind The Winter Soldier! What is going on here?

Somebody can't use the warp tool very well in Photoshop. Coulson's face looks like it's melting.

I honestly feel like that picture of Johnny Storm making a dollar sign in flames was created solely for Josh.

I really am good at this type of thing, huh?

Photoshopped teaser image? ✓
Attention grabbing headline? ✓
Teaser indicating certain doom for [INSERT NAME OF SOMEONE'S FAVOURITE SHOW]? ✓
All facts in the article which some will still try to argue with? ✓
A final line to annoy fanboys? ✓
One last bit of fuel added to the fire with suitable gif? ✓
LMAO? ✓

Last two episodes were great.

I say someone who actually watches the show starts reporting on it.

I think it's pretty safe to say that @JoshWiliding is a HYDRA agent.
