Has anyone been watching this? Show is pulling huge ratings. I've watched it from the start, and has been very good. I have read where 50 cent is pissed with FOX, claiming that they copied is Power show. While the shows share similar traits, I see them totally different.

Didn't want to start a new topic, but another show on Fox, Backstrom, has about 5 or 6 ep's talking up space on my DVR.
Anyone actually watching this, or do we just know it's like House MD, but Dwight Schrute is a cop.......

I love it. They're breaking records, ratings wise. 7 shows so far, all 7 have received a higher rating than the week before.

The oldest son reminds me so much of Laurence Holmes.

I'm a bigfan of Terrance Howard, but this show does not look very good. I'm not sure it could make my already crowded DVR cut.

Come on, man. What did you see in the commercials for this piece of crap that screamed, "I must watch this!" They were all terrible and not fun or funny.

Want a new comedy to enjoy? Try Fresh Off the Boat.

14 million watched last night. This small pond may not like it, but apparently someone does.

I don't like that woman who plays Cookie. I have seen a couple of roundtable discussions with the cast and she is constantly talking over people or answering questions not directed at her in order to draw attention to herself. She also had to remind everyone that she sings.

I dunno, I liked House alot, and I liked Dwight. And I have a pretty good sized DVR.
Just haven't gotten around to it.

I saw the first Backstrom and thought it was ok. Haven't caught up on the next several shows yet to see if it gets better.

This show is awesome. I was trying to remember where I had seen Jamal before. Then I looked it up and he was in the Mighty Ducks


TV Ratings: 'Empire' Won't Stop Getting Bigger, Hits Eighth Week of Growth

The Fox drama's ratings improvement won't stall as it heads towards ending the season as broadcast's top series.

When does Empire hit its crescendo? Logic says it would have been weeks ago, but the Fox drama has grown yet again — hitting a 5.7 rating among adults 18-49 during its ninth episode on Wednesday night. And that's just the preliminary score.

Empire rose another three-tenths of a point in the key demo to hit its latest series high. And American Idol (2.1 adults) bleeding into the 9 p.m. hour means its all but guaranteed to grow again in the final score. Empire also hit a new viewership high of 14.2 million viewers.

Though its total audience is nothing earth-shattering, Empire's demo number is basically unprecedented for a typical hour of a broadcast drama in 2015. That's not quite Walking Dead numbers, at least not yet, but it's bigger than The Big Bang Theory. If recent time-shifting data holds, Empire is now in a safe position to end the season as broadcast's top scripted show.

Viewers are still coming on board the series, even as the season finale approaches. Fox cites 100,000 new views of Empire's premiere episode per day on VOD, Hulu and the FoxNow app.

The race for runner-up goes to ABC, which saw Modern Family (3.4 adults) and Black-ish (2.3 adults) hold steady against Empire. In the 8 p.m. hour, The Middle (2.2 adults) rose two-tenths of a point from last week before an even The Goldbergs (2.5 adults). Nashville (1.4 adults) ended the night steady.

Wednesday also brought the premiere of CSI: Cyber on CBS. The latest effort for the procedural franchise averaged a respectable 1.8 rating among adults 18-49 and 10.3 million viewers — both significant improvements for the time period previously occupied by Stalker. It also retained a great deal of its lead-in, Criminal Minds (1.9 adults), steady with its last episode. Survivor was also steady in its second week.

Last night was the most dramatic episode. Andre (the oldest boy and the one who reminds me of Holmes ) is really showing his acting ability.


I guess Jamal is g.ay in real life, but hasn't exactly come out yet. Sounds like it's easy for him to play that role, then.

Well, I guess the obscene amount of ads worked.


Fox did the same with The OC and that piece of shit show got huge numbers, too. (Not saying Empire is bad)

I wonder how much money is being made off of the songs produced on the show?

FOX doesn't seem to make its shows available for later viewing either ondemand or on netflix so looks like I'll be missing this one.

Great season finale last night. Lots of twists in the 2 hours. I found it interesting they ran a commercial for 50 cents show Power on Starz. 50 has been saying every chance he has, that FOX copied his show Power. He does have valid points. The 2 shows are very similar in some of the biggest story lines.
