Sanctuary Season 4 Ratings Discussion thread

Wow!! It's back up to the S3.0 average!

I've been looking at their ratings on wiki and noticed that firstly a lot of ratins from S01 and S02 are missing - anyone know why this is? Also they were never that high to begin with, they dropped really fast in S01 and in S02 they had episodes rating as low as 1.3

So this is good, right? I was almost afraid to even peak in on this thread.

Wiki doesn't have ratings at all, what they give is Total Viewers. There is a big difference between the two.

Up until episode 7 of Season 1 Syfy used to post the Top 10 ratings (Syfy coverage rating) on their website - this is why there are no Total viewer numbers before then except for the premiere.

The missing Total viewer figure for Season 2 is 1,404,000

I'd call them decent. Not great but not bad either.

Syfy renewed for S4 on an average of 1,457,500 so if S4 can score around or above that then things will look better for a S5.

Encouraging ratings. I hope they hold up or increase some. I want a fifth season!

I was just about to post that. Since I'm too late, I'll just post what it said about Sanctuary.

"Good news for Sanctuary. The series posted the strongest numbers yet of its fourth season Friday and held steady in its demo rating. Better news: all three episodes of season four have held on to a higher viewership than the second half of season three. Could this show be growing its audience, and if so, how much higher can it climb?"

Lets not forget that 3.5 ratings tanked on Monday. So not that difficult to be better.
I am however glad Sanctuary managed to recover from its trip to Monday. Just wished the season premiere had been higher.

Personnaly, I am no longer worried or disappointed about the numbers of the season premiere. I'd have been worried if the numbers of episodes 2 and 3 had fallen as it usually does, but that's not the case. Besides, if you think about it, the fact that the numbers went from 1.3 to almost 1.5 this season looks much better than those of last season (1.8 ==> 1.4).



Remember that Sanctuary did not immediately moved to Mondays. Here's a comparison between the first three episodes of the second half of Season 3 (aired on Friday) and the first three episodes of this season:

3.10 ==> 1.4 - 0.4% / 4.01 ==> 1.4 - 0.5%
3.11 ==> 1.2 - 0.4% / 4.02 ==> 1.3 - 0.4%
3.12 ==> 1.4 - 0.4% / 4.03 ==> 1.4 - 0.5%

That looks good to me!

I too am less concerned about the ratings for the premiere than I am for maintaining good ratings or (hopefully) getting higher ratings for the remainder of the season. So that looks encouraging. Also if Syfy is making positive comments about it on blastr then that's also a good thing.

majorsal: i have such a small list of shows i watch anymore, that when i have one, i don't want to let go of it!

Sounds like me.
