WEEK ONE
The premiere of Traffic Light posted one of the weakest demos for a premiere this season to date. The 1.9 demo was behind all premieres except for the three big drama bombs of the fall (Lone Star, My Generation, The Whole Truth). It also trailed the premiere of eventual bomb Running Wilde by a full half point and dropped almost a third of the audience from 9:00 lead-in Raising Hope. The only consolation is that it did much better than later episodes of Wilde, but that is no real accomplishment.
WEEK TWO
Like fellow Fox newbie The Chicago Code from the night before, Traffic Light's lead-in took a big hit in week two (as Hope plummeted to an in-timeslot series low 2.2) and Light followed it downward, dropping 26% to a 1.4 demo. Still ahead of some of the later Running Wilde eps, but definitely not a renewable number.
PROGNOSIS
As mentioned above, a lot of the drop for Traffic Light in week two can probably be attributed to the fact that Fox suddenly sprung a leak at 9:00. Unfortunately, in this case, that almost certainly doesn't matter. Traffic Light already started in very perilous territory. A 1.4 demo is not gonna cut it, and frankly it's not likely even the 1.9 would have. No season 2 for this one.
