As for S10/E200, I can only hope it won't get as bad as I think it's going to be....Signed,

I think we should start taking bets on the 200th. I'm not seeing much beyond 1.7 myself.
So far the season is averaging a 1.44 - just over 0.4 points below Season Nine's average, which was 0.22 points below Season Eight's, and that's without taking the fall in rating point's values this season into account.
I don't know how well "200" will do. It seems to be getting a lot of publicity, with emphasis on RDA's return but what's showing in the ads may not be everybody's cup of tea. As near as I can tell, it's to be the cast of Stargate: SG-1 spoofing lots of other shows and movies.
Really the better the RDA episodes do, the worse it is for the future of the show. If the execs think that only RDA can bring in decent ratings and he doesn't want to come back fulltime, they may decide to cut their losses.Last edited by ReganX; 15 August 2006, 03:41 PM.

I would not be surprised if the ratings were good for the 200th episode with RDA returning.It may be too late to make a difference.If the ratings are very good it may make TPTB and some of the Actors uncomfortable.They may have to answer questions as to why the ratings are only good for an RDA episode.

It’s funny. At the beginning of the season they had a 1.4 and I thought that was unbelievably bad and inconceivable. Now I see the 1.4 and it was better then I expected and I am not expecting the show to get cancelled anymore. Maybe some fans denial is rubbing off on me, maybe I expect TPTB to have as low expectations as I have, maybe scifi does. Who knows? I think if it maintains a 1.4 it could be renewed.... but like I said at the moment I am in feeling like that was better then expected rating.

^^^ Kinda sounds like seasons 9 and 10 of SG-1 to me. Thor, ya got Aspirin?
AGateFan has officially Gone Fishin (with Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c) and is hoping Atlantis does not take that same hairpin turn.

I feel the exact same way.I was expecting a 1.2.A 1.4 is still lousy and not worth bragging about.I still would be very surprised if their was a Season 11.I just hope we will still get an SG-1 Movie or Movies.If their is a Season 11 I hope their are major changes but I doubt it.I do think their will be more appearances in Season 11 from RDA.Especailly if the ratings for 200 are good.

Originally posted by smurfI noticed that the other day. It's a bit of a concern for me to be honest. At least with Wormhole X-Treme it was spoofing itself. With the 200th episode it doesn't seem very much about Stargate: SG-1, just a load of spoofs of other shows.Spoiler:since SG-1 TPTB spend so much time ripping off those other shows, maybe they got confused and thought they were spoofing SG-1
Above was a spoiler for ep '200'. Question: Can something that is already rotting be spoiled?Joseph Mallozzi -"In the meantime, I'm into season 5 of OZ (where the show takes an unfortunate hairpin turn into "the not so wonderful world of fantasy")"

Season Eight had a regular cast of four; Jack, Sam, Teal'c and Daniel. It averaged ratings of 2.24 points for the first five episodes, 2.065 overall.
Season Ten has a regular cast of six; Sam, Teal'c, Daniel, Mitchell, Vala and Landry. The ratings for its first five episodes have averaged at 1.44 points.
They may decide that too big a cast is unworkable, they may decide to stick to the original team, they may decide not to bother with a movie or mini-series at all. Who knows?

I'll never understand why TPTB want to do these spoof episodes like the 100th and now the 200th episodes.Their is extra attention on these episodes and you figure TPTB would want to blow people away with a great serious episode like Lost City.RDA is coming back for the 200th.Why waste his appearance on a spoof? TPTB have done their fair share of silly episodes like The Other Guys and Citizen Joe.

I'm trying to take a stab at what the ratings will be for 200. I highly doubt it will be higher than 1.8, if that. It all depends on how effective the advertising is and how interested viewers are in watching Jack and/or nonstop spoofing.
Worst-case scenario: 200 ratings stay at 1.4 or drop. That would be a real kick in the pants for SciFi and TPTB. I wouldn't be that shocked though, I get the feeling that viewers that have left both SG1 and SGA have left them for good.

i'm not seeing too much beyond 1.6
honestly, with all the 'sneak peeks' they've pretty much blown all the spoofs anyway. We all knwo the schticks, we have an idea the plot and we know it'll be a silly one shot
there's no 'mystery' attached to it. Nothing enticing for the general viewer, just mocking of the fans iwth their 'love letter' and self indulgent silliness
Also i have yet to see ANY ads beyond what's on the scifi channel as opposed to eureka and bsg ads which i see on other stations
All thier sneak peeks are doing is basically airing the show before it airs,thus removing most of the anticipation since they're giving it all away now
Humor is a very, very dangerous thing and very subjective. i fear by indulging the humor aspect they're risking turning off more fans than they turn on

Good point about the Humor Skydiver.I think TPTB idea for Humor the last couple of years is one of the downfalls of the Show.I would be surprised if the 200 only did a 1.4 or 1.6.I can see the ratings being good for 200 and then right back down for the next episode.I wonder if long time fans who are no longer watching may want to make a statement by watching for RDA.
