Brannon Braga and Brent Spiner's THRESHOLD Debuts in Second Place for CBS

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 10:43, 17 September 2005 / People

The sci-fi drama THRESHOLD debuted with a two-hour premiere last night on CBS, coming in second in the nine o'clock timeslot in the Fast National ratings published this morning by Zap2it. The Brannon Braga-produced alien invasion series earned a 5.3/9 for CBS, following DATELINE on NBC, which took the slot with a 6.9/12.

The THRESHOLD premiere improved in its second hour against LAW & ORDER SVU, still taking second place, but moving up to a 5.6/10 vs. SVU's rerun with a 5.9/11. CBS was #2 overall on the night, averaging 5.2/9 to NBC's 6.0/11.

TNG actor Brent Spiner co-stars in THRESHOLD, co-created by David Goyer. The show also is home to former TREK writers Mike Sussman and Andre Bormanis and airs Fridays at 9p.

Let me preface this by saying I taped THRESHOLD and watched SG1 and BSG last night. But I've watched what I'd guess is the first 1:30 of the THRESHOLD premiere, and I'd hardly call it "shit". "Crap" perhaps, but not "shit".

Seriously, the show is not horrible. Spiner's character doesn't seem all that great, though.
