Fascinating how differently Spielberg's two sci-fi series fared. Terra Nova & Falling Skies debuted the same year. Terra Nova had a huge budget and expensive special effects. It bombed and was canceled. Falling Skies was made on a comparitive shoestring but performed well (for a cable sci-fi programme). Now a fourth season is greenlighted.

Does anyone know how the first-season ratings actually compared? An expensive show on primetime network television requires many more viewers to survive than a less expensive show on "basic cable" like TNT, FX, or AMC. Falling Skies has been a ""success" -- and I like it far better than Terra Nova -- but did it actually pull in more viewers than Terra Nova? I wonder.

Terra Nova was pulling in around the 10m viewers mark, which dropped off to about 7m by the time it ended. Falling Skies' first season was hovering between 6m and 4m.

Terra Nova's numbers were respectable, but not good enough to justify ROI apparently. Expectations for Falling Skies were lower, as it's on cable rather than network.
