'EMPIRE' PREMIERE BECOMES INSTANT HIT & EARNS HIGH PRAISE ONLINE

It looks like FOX has a new hit series on their hands.

While Thursdays have been unofficially deemed as "Shonda Thursday" by many loyal fans of "Scandal" creator Shonda Rhimes' superb shows, Wednesday nights just heated up a great deal now that the Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson lead series "Empire" has finally aired.  Nobody really knew what to expect from their reunion since joining forces in "Hustle & Flow," but it seems as though nearly everyone who tuned in to watch it was left utterly shocked by how good it turned out to be.  Even Shonda herself took to Twitter and gave high praise to the new FOX hit.

Prior to the premiere, 50 Cent sent shots at the show for allegedly copying the blueprint to his series, "Power," and Taraji wound up firing back at him.  However, according to some tweets posted by fans of both, it looks like Empire might've had a stronger impact.

Check out the responses to FOX's new hit TV series "Empire," above.
