This week was not a great week for “Minority Report”. Last week it premiered quietly, going somewhat unnoticed and without making a big splash. Unfortunately this week the rating dropped from 1.1 to a .9 in adults 18-49. It also only brought in a total of 2.57 million viewers.
After watching this week’s episode, I can agree with this rating. The first episode I watched was different than what I had originally watched over the summer. I had the opportunity to watch pilots and write coverage for my internship this summer, and Minority Report was one of the pilots I watched. After watching it live I realized they changed it from the original. They must have changed the pilot once Nick Zano was signed on to the show. The new pilot had a more intense storyline, but unfortunately I don’t see this show doing much better throughout the season. Unless this show manages to get picked up abroad or by a VOD network, I don’t think people will be seeing much more than a season or 2 of it. It’s still early in the season though, so who knows what’s going to happen.
