Sleepy Hollow is
looking to be the most promising and successful show to premiere for fall
television, thus far. The airing of the pilot reigned in over 10.1 million
viewers capturing audiences into its modern tale of the Headless Horseman.
What is Sleepy Hollow
about? Sleepy Hollow takes place in a
small town, where everyone knows everyone. When Ichabod (Tom Mison) makes an
appearance into the town after being transported from the Revolutionary War,
Captain Irving (Orlando Jones) and Lieutenant Mills (Nicole Beharie) investigate
his bizarre presence in the town. Ichabod is linked to the recent terrorizing
events that revolved around him and a headless revolutionary war soldier, Hessian.
Sleepy Hollow is a strong mix of
drama, mild comedy and horror. While Lieutenant Mills is attempting to discover why
Ichabod is in town, Ichabod is comically trying to fathom the modern times and its technology.
Yes, it is important that Sleepy Hollow reigned in 10.1 million viewers, but did those
viewers enjoy the show? According to Fox and other sources, the audience loved
the pilot. The pilot pulled in a large 3.5 rating, with the demographic between
the ages of 18 and 49. The great ratings and viewership is great for Fox. The
main concern is the strong “Halloween” feel the show brings to the table. The writers
will have to play their cards write in maintaining the interests of their audience
so they do not lose viewers after Halloween is over. Personally, I think the
show will do really well. The pilot was very strong and engaging and it made me
want more. For most shows that I watch, I do not grow an interest in a show
until about the third of fourth episode of the first season.
Sleepy Hollow airs
