Season Two: Ratings Predictions/Discussion

[suse]

Unlikely that it is. Actors are usually informed by different means - whether through their agents, thus a phone call, or through a personal call from the Producers. They don't leave notifications of this kind to email. It's not good form.

Agreed. Forgot about the agent bit. It really should go thru them. Carl Binder has an agent too....

Ah well. I feel for the cast and crew.

Good to hear we have someone to blame, can I put Sami_ and a few others on the list?

I would be honored.

[Skydiver]

Since we have a thread already for the cancellation, what I'd like to do is TEMPORARILY shut this one down...simply because it'll become the 'cancellation 2.0' thread.

I'll either open it back up in a few days, or open it back up when the back half airs.

What i'm afraid of happening is, passions will rule, and the mods will be trying to control it on two fronts, plus any other thread anyone else makes everywhere else on the forum. TEMPORARILY shutting this thread down will allow the conversation to continue in the existing thread and we'll be able to keep those intent upon ruining it under control and protect those of you that wish to discuss and commiserate.

[Skydiver]

Here is your ratings thread.

Now please, RATINGS ONLY.

You want to talk about the cancellation or who to blame or any of that stuff, please don't do it here.

Talk about ratings, right now there are plenty of syndie ratings to discuss, so please do that.

and if you want to talk about the cancellation, take it to that thread please

So apparently the overall viewers upticked from Visitation to Resurgence..... while the live fell.

And in Syndie, TNG beat SGU by about 100k viewers

Not an overall surprise. First apparently SGU is actually being seen by less of the market then TNG by about 10% (MS posted the details in another thread) and second, SGU have an old dedicated fanbase. I watch stuff on TV I have on DVD all the time .

Not that it matters, MGM will only be making a small bit of money from the syndication anyway. It's one of those things that may assist DVD sales though.

Is that out of all the channels its being shown on? (US only or worldwide?) Also, TNG is being played on a bunch of stations 30x's a day, certainly a lot more than SGU...

The number for TNG is not a cumulative number of all the showings, it is an average of all the shows.

For syndicated shows which air on multiple days, the viewership shown is the average of all telecasts.

Anybody have the Live +7 numbers for Resurgence?

[Skydiver]

who cares?

they do. If you feel their conversation isn't interesting, then please find another one

A lot of people have asked for this and I'm not sure why no one has replied.

[Beka]

I just quote a comment from MediaSavant.

What's "Resurgence"? Am I supposed to know the names of the episodes?

(Only sorta kidding. I actually don't know most of the episodes by their names.)

If you are talking about the last episode that aired, it had 1.638 million total viewers, a lift of 544,000 from the live + sd number.

On average, the ten episodes of season two had 1.078 million viewers Live + Same Day and 1.569 million Live + 7.

It's interesting to note that the average lift--difference between Live + 7 and same day viewers--went down as the series went on:

Episodes 101-110: 603,000
Episodes 111-120: 537,000
Episodes 201-210: 491,000

So, even though the switch to Tuesday is brought up as a reason the live + same day ratings to go down, the show didn't make up for the loss by having more people watching on other days.

I also want to note that while some people blame the hiatuses for loss of viewers, the hiatus between episode 110 and 111 was longer than the hiatus between 111 and 201, yet 111 actually had more viewers than 110.

Syndication ratings are for distribution to broadcast (non-cable/satellite) stations. They are U.S. only and don't include repeats that may be running on cable.

[MediaSavant]

I've become privy to some data from Nielsen. SGU's ratings weren't high, but the people watching were pretty upscale. For the last episode that ran, the average household income of the Adults 18-49 who watched was around $76,000. For Adults 18+, it was about $73,000.
