The promise of Peter’s imminent return perhaps played a part in perking up Fringe‘s latest numbers.
The Fox drama, with 3.24 million total viewers and a 1.3 rating, rebounded from last week’s all-time low to gain 8 percent in the demo. It also notched a 6 percent bump in total audience.
In fact, Fringe was one of only two Friday programs to register a week-to-week gain in the demo, and the only show to bring in additional viewers.

9 pm | CSI: NY (9.75 mil/1.6) bested all comers, while slipping 6 percent in the demo. The Jensen Ackles-directed Supernatural (1.64 mil/0.7) lost a handful of eyeballs but held steady in the demo.
10 pm | Blue Bloods was the night’s most watched and top-rated program, with 11.04 million total viewers and a 1.9 demo rating (up 6 percent in its third week).
