        Viewership (million, Live+SD) = 1.380 0.5

        Adults 18-49 rating (Live+SD) = 0.5

        Much better than Mon.

            It's good. It was starting to go up again to it's normal numbers just before the finale, the last 2 episodes think, and it’s very close to the average we’ve seen it in previous seasons.

              That´s great! Hopefully it´s even getting better.

                Yes. You know how it goes, we've seen it for the last 4 years, it goes up, down, down, up, up, down, up, down, up.

                Oh, and don't forget those DVR and Live+7 numbers.

                  Not Good. That is the fourth(tie) lowest Friday Ratings of the whole series. The Lowest Season Premiere ratings by 400,000.

                  A Season Premiere should be closer to 2 M

                  One good thing is the .5. This is an increase from the past season and close to the .6 of Season 3 Premiere. This could be the hangover fans from Haven. Hope they stay.

                    IMO it's hard to say what's good and what's not, especially after all the drama from the ratings discussions last season.

                    Of course we want more people to watch the show, but really "good" is if the numbers meet the minimum requirement by Syfy for it to be renewed for that fifth season we all want so much.

                    I'm glad the ratings are higher than S3.5 but I'm not surprised they're not back at the S.30 level. I think that not only the night change, but the fact the quality of S3.5 wasn't that great might have also put people off (I really thought it was the weakest season, with the three money-saving episodes being the lowpoint, and then there just not being any suspense or epicness in the finale that we had with S1 and S2).

                    All we can hope for is that ratings remain stable or steadily increase with this season. An average of 1.4 and 1.0 for S3 and S3.5 were enough for it to be renewed, hopefully that's enough this time round.

                      Those are some good points, well done.

                      Someone from that link I posted had this to say- Santuary premiered up from its Friday average last year, which is good news. Between this and Haven, SyFy has a couple of reliable Friday performers.

                      Than the dude wrote this- Last year, they were averaging a 0.4 on Fridays before moving to Mondays and dropping to 0.2. So a 0.5 is a solid debut, all things considered.

                      So yeah, they weren't SUPER, but I think they were good. I'm eager to see them DVR and L+7 numbers.

                        That´s frightening I hope the rating will not go down. I would die if there is not a fifth season. When will we know if there is a fifth season or not? When was it last year?

The fact is I am convinced Syfy expected much more and is quite disappointed by these numbers. 400 000 less than last year is quite big, and I expect it to go down and down as it did last year.

                          I can't imagine that 1.3 is enough considering that the new season is logically more expensive and that the show was renewed when it was still doing much better than that.

                          Anyway, call me grumpy, call me mister pessimistic, but I don't want to be unrealistic, though of course i'd LOVE to have a 5th season.
                          Nah, we're not going to call you grumpy for trying to being realistic I too would love a 5th season.

                          For a season premiere that was not good, it needed to be a few hundred thousand higher to be considered good (for Sanctuary). Let's face it, Sanctuary used to be a steady performer on Fridays but it has a pattern of starting higher at the premiere, dropping a bit, bounces around (minimally) and then rises slightly for the finale. IF it follows the same pattern then that means the average will be a lot lower and we simply don't know what the Syfy threshold for renewal will be.

                          The good thing though is that it was better than the Monday night performances and Edge (the wrestler) is in next weeks ep so that may bring up the numbers. *crosses fingers*

                          As for Sanctuary costing more, the good thing is that Sanctuary is privately funded so Syfy won't have the same expectations as a show they do fund. Syfy's expectations will be based on how large their fee is versus how much profit the show brings in. Also Sanctuary's budget has atypically been relatively the same since the start of production (mentioned in a recent interview) and from the little outside information that we have it was over 1.6 million per ep in Season 1 and just under 2 million per ep in Season 4.

                          Obviously there are other considerations for the private financiers but Syfy (US) is the largest single market and Syfy decisions will have an effect on their decisions. Though how much of an effect will depend on the proportion of the total market and the short term returns from the rest of the market.

                            I agree 1.38 million is not great for a premiere. However, the Season 3.5 premiere which was still on Friday was lower than this then increased with the episode Hangover. I don't think it can afford to drop though. The first half of season 3 numbers (excluding the premiere) were in this area with episodes like Trail of blood having numbers down near 1.25 million. Those levels were good enough for a Season 4 so I think as long as it doesn't drop there is a chance of a Season 5

                              I'd say more in the middle, not being good or bad. Let's just say it could of been worse. The good thing is the 18 to 49 demo was a 0.5 and the last time they hit a 0.5 was back in the beginning of Season 3 I think.

                              After Eureka getting canceled while averaging over 2 Million viewers, I just don't know what to think anymore. You have to almost treat every season as it will be it's last, imo.
