'Game of Thrones' ratings: Here's how many watched HBO's preview

http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/04/05/ga...-hbos-preview/

The first dab of Game of Thrones ratings trivia is in. On Sunday night, HBO aired a 15-minute preview showing the opening scenes of its highly anticipated new series. Here’s how many watched: 720,000.
Is that good? Bad? Tough to say. It’s just a preview, and all the advertising for Thrones is emphasizing the actual premiere on April 17. Plus, plenty of would-be viewers watched the preview online (see it here). I think it’s fair to conclude this is not a giant number indicating the show’s debut will go through the ratings roof. But given its non-promoted and brief nature, nor does it suggest support for the show is soft — an HBO spokesperson points out the network has never done something like this before.
I’ve watched the first six episodes. Many are going to love Thrones — especially those who stick around through the first few hours. Episodes 5 and 6 were incredible.

This rating means nothing cause only the hardcore fans actually knew that there will be a preview. So those 720000 people were waiting to watch Mildred Pierce the show that followed the preview.

What!!?! A character won't be in it...? ... Just kidding. But seriously, don't give up to soon. There is a possibility that they switch it up a bit from the books like they did with True Blood. If fans demand it he could live...

I think it means a lot. I think it means 10x's that amount or more will watch the show. Personally, I can't wait for GoT but I skipped the preview because I'd rather watch it all in one sitting. I'm sure there are a ton of other fans that skipped it as well.

WHAT!!!! BURN THE HERETIC!!!!

I'd seriously suggest reading them, but I'd say wait, till after the first series has aired. I've re read the books a little while ago, but refrained from rereading them recently cause I don't want to nitpick the series. I'm happy it's going to be a faithful adaptation, but no adaptation is a perfect copy, there are always differences and I don't want to obesses over little details.

I have not read them either, but I'd be willing to bet nearly every fan on this site knows that spoiler. (Also, no names were mentioned! )

I haven't read the books either, so I'd appreciate books being spoiler tagged

I have plenty to read at the moment

I didnt know.
And i dont need to be a super genius to figure out Marishka's fave character

[MattSilver 3k]

I haven't read the books, but the trailers and stuff intrigue me here. I might delve into them after the first series or so, but we'll see - I know, when it comes to True Blood and Walking Dead, I'd rather just stick with the TV show for now. Might be the same here.

[MB.Eddie]

I watched the 15 minutes preview. Twice. Was good.

Haven't been this excited about a new show in ages!

Haven't read the books, but from all the details i'm hearing im loving the sound of it. Heavy character and plot driven

ooh, more stuff. Though at this point I just want them to hurry up and air the show.

Also I see our show here is now front page news on Gateworld. So when do we get our separate section of the forum?
