Rosewood Post #8

It’s looking like Fox has full faith in comedy drama series “Rosewood.” They have just announced that they are giving the medical series a full season order. The series averages a 2.4 rating among A18-49 and 7.8 million viewers in Live+3 estimates. Fox entertainment president David Madden is quoted saying, “Rosewood has proven to be a real self-starter for us, which is a tremendous feat on this highly competitive night.” This makes “Rosewood” the first freshman series to get a full season order from the network, and brings the season to a full 22-episode per season. However, the series’ viewership has still dropped significantly since the premiere September 23rd. According to Deadline, viewership increases in the second half hour of the show. Viewers are tuning in to get ready to watch Fox’s powerhouse “Empire”. Ratings for “Rosewood” build about 27%-29% from the first to the second half hour. It will be interesting to see if the full season order will help “Rosewood” gain momentum and stand on its on without the help of “Empire”.
