I'm a little concerned about the ratings of Stargate: Universe. The Season 1 (And series) high was 2.4 million (For "Air") and the series 1 low was 1.17 million ("Incursion, Part 1"). In general, the ratings seemed to hover between 1.3 and 1.4 million viewers. Stargate Atlantis seems to have held around 1.6 million viewers on average per ep, just by comparison, so that's respectable, really.
Anyway, since the show came back, ratings have ranged from 1.2 million ("Awakening") all the way down to 960,000 for "Trial and Error" this week. The average is 1.06 million for the season thus far, which represents a pretty massive dropoff, and there's clearly a declining trend overall.
My concern is this: is the show in danger of cancellation?
This performance since the 2nd season started is in the same ratings range as Caprica, and that show ended up dead. This really bothers me, since SGU is a great show. Does anyone know anything about this? Should we be concerned?
Curiously, the massive dropoff in ratings for both shows starts at the same point: when the shows came back from the summer hiatus. They've both been moved to Tuesday nights, which might have something to do with it, but at the same time I'm wondering if Syfy's viewership is down overall. Then again: Warehouse 13 was picking up about 2.3 million viewers/Episode, and Eureka is in the 2.4 range.
Gah! What the heck is going on?
Does anyone know anything?
