Predict the pilot's Nielsen ratings.

[Homer 120]

1.2 or 1.4

[LoneStar1836]

2.1...live.

The it drops way off to 1.0-1.3s in the first couple of eps.

[Korean_Turtle87]

Well its safe to say it will be on par with the current ratings of atlantis so im gonna say 1.3ish.

I'd say it'll be 1.3 for the pilot, and then maybe 1.1 then on assuming a significant amount of american viewers don't boycott the show

[g.o.d]

2.1

[brandohall]

I am going to say it gets the same rating as Rising did...

3.2 live

[silly sally]

I'm going with a 3.0 live.

lmao...
1.5 tops!

[jenks]

lmao...
1.5 tops!

A new Stargate series? No chance, even Sanctuary probably won't premier with ratings that low.

With well promotion, SGU The Pilot gets something like over 6.5+. Or even better, if BSG'ish fan$ catch up the show. A regular episodes will have 2.0 or 3.0 (if not be very optimistic), mid-season two-parter - around 4.5 possibly.

It's all SCI-FI, you know. If they will spend some money to bring us viewers a great expensive show with rich mythology arc and semi-feature effects (just like Continuum has)- that's will be awesome.
But if they wanted a simple "sci-fi" bubble gum to fill up pauses between advertising commercials - it will suck big time and become a piece of crap at the end of season. If THEY not will be creatively interested in the show, the showrunners also not will do their best.

I know, for them it's "just business", but every really good tv-show or feature film have huge creative involvement, not just "MMM: Make More Money". Don't forget, that besides "the business" it is also "the art".

[ToasterOnFire]

It's still really early to predict, but I'm leaning toward the 2.5 range with a better chance of it getting in the low 2s than reaching for the 3s.

[Skydiver]

i'm thinking about a 2.3, with things settling down to a 1.8 by the end of the first half, 1.3 by the end of the first season

So are people including DVR? Because, just because a new show is airing doesn't mean DVR is going to go away. That 10pm timeslot on a Friday is one of the most DVR'd timeslots for the week.

You'd be surprised how Atlantis is doing after all DVR is counted. Atlantis is getting almost a half of a rating point lift this season after the final numbers are added.

I don't think Universe is going to pull over a 2.0 for live for the premiere. After DVR maybe.

Sanctuary will likely get a 1.5 rating for Live+SD. That is what Flash Gordon got and a lot of people were anticipating FG. Flash was more of a Flush since the Ratings went from a 1.5 to like a 0.8 in the 2nd week and then fell to a 0.5 to 0.6 the rest of the season.

nope I believe we're talking about the live +sd numbers
