Season Two: Ratings Predictions/Discussion

[Morganrone93]

Will the ratings for Cloverdale come out this evning?

[xxxevilgrinxxx]

Early start for that isn't it? I'm going to wait for this episodes numbers to come out before I can even being to guess next weeks.

it doesn't much matter to me as I don't get to see Cloverdale until Friday anyway
So what if it's early?

[SSJPabs]

Yes, the C3 index rating will pick up on that also. Remember the C3 usually falls between the Live Raw and Live + same Day numbers. The numbers that Travis posts are Live+Same Day.

TV by the numbers wrote up an analysis of C+3 v. Live-SD numbers and said

But those Live + Same Day ratings that everybody reports every day, even though they measure different things, match up very closely with the C+3 ratings that determine how much the networks get paid by advertisers. (emphasis in original)

In fact, most shows do go down a little but a few shows actually went UP in the C+3. It's still very close though.

ED: I'm not predicting anything until I see the Cloverdale ratings.

Um that is why I said usually and not always.

I don't know if it was a direct competition or not - do not follow sports, TBH - but: Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics is Most Watched Regular Season Game Ever on Cable. Could it have influenced the ratings or did it air earlier/later?

Or outside of the Fan Base not many people in the General Public / non Fan Base just does not like the show ? If Chuck can be steady during Monday Night Football why cant Stargate Universe be during Basketball ? & yes I know I answered my own question but just saying. Hawaii Five-0 for example is surviving through DVR Ratings. They are that damn good. So it is a moot point to say oh Basketball may have hurt the ratings for an episode when other shows during Sports nights are surviving just fine

Oh yes, I was just trying to supplement and support your post with some additional information from a separate source.

I kinda figured you were just adding to my post.

Remember good or bad the numbers are Brian's fault. I'm not going to list Trial and Error's numbers until I see Cloverdale although I suspect them higher then Cloverdale

[globex]

1 million viewers I'll bet!

I'm even more of a Chuck ratings watcher than an SGU one. Monday night shows have been running against Monday Night Football every week. It's not like one week they didn't and another week they did. That's part of the reason for the consistency in Chuck's ratings. For all we know, Chuck's ratings might be a little higher if it didn't run against MNF every single week. That being said, the games do vary in their ratings.

Chuck also is a 4th season show and the fanbase it has settled into is pretty loyal. I know the fandom and it is pretty singular in its support for their show. It has trouble at this time in its lifestage to build on that, though.

Other shows running on Monday have not seen as consistent ratings as Chuck. Even Hawaii Five-O's ratings on October 18th were 25% below its premiere. But, it started very high.

Now, may I present last night's ratings for SGU, in the way(kinda) Travis Yanan usually publishes them:

SGU 10/26:
HH Rating: 0.7
A18-49 Rating: 0.4
Total Viewers: 1.01 million

Caprica 10/26
HH Rating: 0.5
A18-49 Rating: 0.3
Total Viewers: 0.84 million

1 million viewers I'll bet!

You were bloody close!

Thanks for the info MediaSavant. Still not great by any stretch but at least they went up instead of down.

Oh great. Thanks MediaSavant!

You don't have by any chance the half hour breakdown for SGU?

I read the contrary, that the amount of money was really significant.

Syfy cable/sat/etc fee is .21 cent per subscriber which comes to 240 million a year before they get single penny from ads. Think thats a lot most articles have ESPN getting 4+ dollars per subscriber
