MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Suffers Fifth Ratings Drop In A Row
Rating continue to drop for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as the ABC series hit an all-time low this week. While the network has already committed to a full season order, could these declining figured be a sign that we won't see Agent Coulson and his team return for a second year?
It's perfectly normal for a new show's ratings to drop over the course of the first few episodes, but Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. still hasn't levelled off, hitting an all-time low for its fifth instalment yesterday. After taking a one week break, it returned to 7.2 million (2.5), dipping two tenths in the demo, or as TV Line puts it, "its fifth consecutive decline." We're only six episodes in, so it's perfectly possible that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will eventually find its footing and maintain the sort of numbers which will mean it returns for a second season. If it continues to decline like this though, Marvel's first live-action TV venture could also be its first major failure...
