Is Dr. Horrible still number 1,2 and 3?

Hey I didn't see your post till just now. Dr. Horrible has the 2, 3, and 4 spots. #1 most downloaded is some show called 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager' Evidently about some girl who gets pregnant. Hmm.. That over SGA?! Oooookay, sure. It's another "pretty white kids with problems" type of show.. *sigh*

Answers: 1) 1 ratings point = 1.1 households. The 1.35 for our premiere indicates that approximately 1.5 million households tuned into the 10:00 p.m. telecast of Search and Rescue. Those are same-day viewers. The show averages a 30% bump from households that DVR or Tivo the show. So, all in, almost 2 million households saw the premiere. Is that good enough to get us a sixth season pick-up? Only the network knows.

To add to what Joe M said. The Viewer per household is a big thing. SGA seems to have a higher V.P.H. than shows like BSG.

Also Search and Rescue could very well see around 2.2 Million + viewers after all the numbers are counted.

also he said 1.35 equals 1.5 million viewers but we know it's actually 1.8 million. add 30% and you got 2.1 million viewers after live +7

I had to re-read that because he said households. It was 1.8 Million viewers.

The network bases revenue on Viewers.

let's just say 1.2-1.6 don't impress me that much. And I still don't measure quality by ratings. But this is off-topic

really? and which shows manage to get a 1.6+ for live +sd? GHI (sometimes) and...?

Did you know that SGA's 2nd half of Season 4 actually peformed better in total viewers than GHI's last season overall? GHI only aired like around 8 to 10 eps. So I think it's a fair comparison.

hm no I didn't know this, very interesting Atlantis has a higher VPH than GHI, right? I guess that's another reason for the different total viewers
