FlashForward went up against the World Series on FOX last night, and the show dipped to its lowest numbers so far. Last night’s episode, “Scary Monsters and Super Creeps,” averaged below 9 million in total viewership for the first time in the show’s history, with 8.924 million viewers watching the show. This is the lowest total viewership since episode 3 (which, incidentally, was also up against some baseball) which had 9.003 million viewers.

Household rating/share for FlashForward was at 5.6/9, matching the previous series low, which was for episode 4.

The show also dipped below the 3.0 mark in the Adults 18-49 rating. Last night’s episode only managed a 2.7/7 rating/share in that prized demographic.

Last night’s show placed third in its timeslot across the board, behind FOX’s World Series and CBS’s Survivor: Samoa. (It’s worth noting that Survivor: Samoa was also down from last week, which could indicate baseball’s effect on this week’s ratings.)
