SGU’s Second Round Ratings Indicate Success
by PlayItGrand on Oct.12, 2009, under Sanctuary, Stargate
Courtesy of TvGuide.com
The ratings for Stargate Universe’s ‘Air Part 3′ were releases today, and so far the verdict looks great!
Most TV shows see a drop in the ratings after a premiere due to viewers who are curious enough to watch the pilot and then come to believe the show is not what they were looking for. Stargate Universe has contradicted that trend, GROWING 22% among viewers ages 18-49 and 13% in the 25-54 age range. Total growth is 4%, just short of 2.5 million viewers across the US alone (SyFyWire). This earned SGU a 1.8 average household rating from Nielsen (Gateworld.net).
As with the pilot’s rating of 1.7, this is not counting viewers who have recorded the episode to view it within 7 days, so these figures are due for an increase after a period of about 3 weeks.
Stargate Universe has now beaten Dollhouse in the ratings race for the second week running (Gateworld.net).

Craig Engler, the senior VP of Syfy Digital, had much to say on this topic on Twitter. “I can’t emphasize enough how impressive it is for a show to grow from its premiere. That’s pretty rare. Congrats Stargate Universe gang!”
Engler also reported that Sanctuary’s Season 2 premiere episode was up 18% in adults 18 to 49 and 7% in adults 25 to 54 from its first season average. That’s 1.85 million viewers that watched ‘End of Nights, Part 1′! (Twitter)
Congratulations everyone!!!
Update 10/26/2009 thanks to tvbythenumber.com
The Live +7 days DVR veiwing data has arrived for ‘Air Part 3′ and it’s HUGE!
The added date pushed the episodes rating up to 2.1! That’s 2.99 million viewers, 1.7 million between the ages of 18-49, and 1.85 million between 25-54! This is a new record for the Stargate franchise, making it the most watched episode since March of 2005!
In the 25-54 age range, this is the best performance of Stargate since July of 2004, and the best for adults between 18-49 since July of 2004.
It looks like the franchise is reaching it’s goals! It is pulling in a younger demographic necessary to the survival of the franchise without alienating many of it’s “older” supporters!

- James Cameron, del Toro collaborating on 3-D Lovecraft film July 28, 2010When Guillermo del Toro announced at Comic-Con that he'd be developing a "scary" version of The Haunted Mansion and a "very strange" adaptation of Pinocchio, he also hinted at a third project—an all-new horror film he'd start directing in May. But what he never hinted was that in order to pull that project off, he'd be brin […]
- Toy Story 3/Inception trailer mashes up summer's two best films July 28, 2010Toy Story 3, easy to understand. Inception ... not so easy. One made us cry, the other made our heads hurt. But what if someone took the summer's two best movies and mashed them together? Someone did. […]
- Lost's Damon Lindelof may write Ridley Scott's Alien prequel July 28, 2010Looks like Damon Lindelof's first major solo screenwriting gig, now that he's wrapped up the mysteries of Lost, will be to go back before one of sci-fi's greatest movie franchises even began—because he just closed a deal to work on the long-in-development Alien prequel, which 20th Century Fox hopes (and WE hope) Ridley Scott will direct.

- Doctor Who's Moffat says Sherlock Holmes is better than Who July 28, 2010As if Steven Moffat didn't already have enough to do as writer and executive producer for Doctor Who, it looks like the BBC is about to renew his Sherlock series for a second season, now that the first episode of the modern-day Sherlock Holmes adaptation debuted to huge ratings. But which of those two brainy characters does Moffat like best? Hint—it isn […]

But even if you didn't make it to San Diego this year, there's no reason you shouldn't get to see the eye candy—which is why we've collected 15 awesome clips so you can enjoy Comic-Con in the comfort […]
- Michael Bay working on a secret 'Confidential Alien Project' film July 28, 2010How much does Michael Bay love aliens? This much—even while he's been blowing up Chicago, which we've learned about through a flood of Transformers 3 set photos and videos, the director has been negotiating to unleash even MORE aliens on Hollywood.

July 28, 2010Whether you're addicted to Smallville or your interest in the Kryptonian farmboy waned a long time ago, you'll want to watch as the series says goodbye—because executive producers Kelly Souders and Brian Wayne Peterson told us that its 10th and final year will get to pay off on that long-promised money shot. Yes, that one—Clark Kent putting on the […]
- Brandon Routh 'would love to be able to return' as Superman July 28, 2010We don't remember audiences feeling the love for Brandon Routh as the Man of Steel in Superman Returns. In fact, when compared to Christopher Reeve's performance three decades earlier, Routh was considered kind of, well, you know ... wooden. But there's at least one person who wants to see Brandon Routh return as Superman—Brandon Routh! […]
