Season 5 Ratings thread

[Briangate78]

how about less time talking about other fans and more about the ratings please

Well, just trying to explain the ratings and DVR and how it's important to SGA and the network. A lot of folks in a few months will be biting their nails waiting for that renewal decision.

[Skydiver]

explain away, but enough of the 'some people.....' comments. who cares about 'some people', just take care of your ratings and let other things take care of themselves

I'm going to go with a 1.5 for the premiere. About the same as the finale of last season. The back of season 4 saw strong ratings, so I'm thinking this will continue, at least for the premiere. Also, SGA is back at its "normal" time -- premiering in the summer (unlike last year premiering in Fall), so that should help LIVE ratings. I believe next Friday it will have competition with Monk, so it may bring it down a bit.

Let's hope so. Got my fingers crossed Jonas style.

I thought I will copy this rating here for comparison later.

I hate to be a gloomy Gus, but my guess is a 1.1 for the premiere. SCI FI's promotion seemed to be nearly nonexistant, harkening back to the SG-1 "We've already decided to cancel you" tenth season opening.

FWIW, GateWorld always sees a big traffic bump right around the season premiere which is usually fairly proportional to the ratings. Last Friday's bump (and the weekend bump) was almost negligible.

Maybe it was because Search and Rescue had already been leaked, and a lot had already seen it. GW was hopping a few weeks back and I had a feeling that the traffic on GW wouldn't be the same when it finally aired.

So I'm going to go the optimistic route and say a 1.4

That's what I was thinking. I know last season there were leaks too, but those were unfinished and a lot of people (myself included) stayed away from those, I'm sure that that's made a difference. As for 1.1, if the show gets that then we can kiss the show goodbye.

Well SGA's promotion was about the same for like GHI, Scare Tactics, and Eureka. They even had a little SGA banner above the SCI FI logo. As per forum traffic, SCI FI.com had double the amount of traffic than "Adrift" did. The competition on the other networks was pretty light.

Anyway it doesn't matter what the live is, I am waiting for the final numbers.

I hope you're wrong because that would be the beginning of the end.

You have no idea. I'll likely get banned from GW for my outrage. Just kidding Darren.

why?

honestly, I think it's better to know howe long any show will exactly last (like BSG).

I'd just rather SGA last a few more years.
