Fox’s “The Orville” is still going strong, even with the competition of Thursday Night football.  The 18-49 rating for the show is still hovering around the 0.9-1.0 mark which it has been for the past few weeks. Even though the night of viewership of “The Orville” has been hovering in the 3-4 million range, millions more viewers each week are tuning into the program via DVR.  In some cases, the viewership via these platforms is higher than the night of viewing.  For instance, on Episode 6 of the series, there was a DVR viewing of 3.32 million in comparison to a same day viewing of 3.37 million, bringing in a total of 6.69 million viewers for the week. Taking into account these DVR viewership numbers, Fox’s “The Orville” is now the network’s most viewed drama debut since the successful Empire debut in 2015.  This is a great success for the Fox network.
