DeeCee Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Empire just had the highest premiere for any show on Fox for years! It actually grew from the American Idol lead-in. That's a first. Usually the following show drops off. Fox should probably rest American Idol for a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyevenstar22 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 colour me surprised this is actually pretty good ! the music in it is serious quality as oppose to fake run of the mill tracks to pass off as real songs within show reality but then i see tumberland is involved , i gotta say this has some serious potential for a major black cast show hmmmm i'm a fan of taraji and her hair so i'm def going to be enjoying this , yeah this is what you call a good pilot , set up lots of stuff for the future , surprising dept for 45 mn runtime ! lets hope it stays that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Insane ratings on episode 3. That is the biggest rating of the Fall besides the NFL games and The Big Bang Theory. WTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeFangrl Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Final ratings up to a 4.4 with 11.07 million viewers! Very intrigued by Andre's wife. I guess they have an open marriage? Glad that Jamal finally moved out. Sure, his dad should accept him but he doesn't have to foot the bill for your luxury apartment either way. When will Luscious realize straight sons are far less stable than the gay one? Hakeem was just a fictionalized Bieber/Breezy before the Oedipal stuff with Naomi Campbell... but added a layer or two. Cookie's newfound grudging respect for Anika had better not keep them from having at least one good old-fashioned soap opera catfight...
