First Two Weeks, Friday

Brothers (Fox)
Sampling: Yikes. A 1.0 demo. Yes, it's a Friday, but that's pretty awful.
Retention: Yikes. It's a 20% drop to a 0.8.
Prognosis: Yikes. This could get axed any second now. However, Fox has a lot of virtually-free episodes of 'Til Death to burn through, so maybe it just sticks around as long as it has filmed episodes. Either way, I don't see any form of renewal.

And now we'll revisit the scoring system I invented yesterday. Three points if you're in the best third of new shows, 2 in the average third, 1 in the bottom third.
