Ratings II

[Rac80]

the joke is on them!

SGA's finale, (from a 2009 article at TVByTheNumbers):
In the 9 p.m. hour, “Stargate Atlantis’” series finale scored a 1.5 household rating and drew 2 million total viewers. The show wrapped up its final season with an average 1.6 household rating and 2.1 total million viewers, up 14% and 5%, respectively, from the previous season.

DOUBLE! Damnit! DOUBLE!!! :mad:

And 1.13 million viewers is what they cancelled sga for? who looks stupid now?

Now now, let's be gracious here. A lady doesn't need to say "I told you so!" when it's so deliciously obvious.

I never said that phrase...just giggled a lot!

 

[Gatefan1976]

Agreed!

(although, looking at those numbers, I think that the second set of figures (1.6 HH and 2.1 million avg) must be refering to Live + 7? Because I know it did well, but not that well for the Live + Same day)

L+SD season average for SGa S5 was around the 1.65 mark IIRC

... and it cost 1.0 million dollars less per episode than SGU, according to Brad Wright.

You fail to recognize that art, naturally, comes with a higher price tag. SGA was hamburger while SGU was filet mignon. Were you anything other than a hamburger eater you'd know this.

Hamburgers can be quite good.

Bacon Cheeseburgers especially. :icon_e_wink:

No I am not calling SGA cheese. Just could not pass up the HUGE analogy follow through there.

Well, sure. SGA was a perfectly cooked hamburger vs. SGU's burned and crispy filet mignon.

yes with some mushrooms on that filet , get it? , the fungus? LOL :icon_e_wink:

Oh, and some onions too, to stink it up.



Sorry, I crack me up.

 

[Mr. A]

SGU was fake beef, and obviously people didn't like the taste.

Where does hotdogs rank?

 

[Stonelesscutter]

Where does hotdogs rank?

Somewhere at the bottom as far as I'm concerned.

So Does that mean the public was once again saying?


"Where's the beef?"

 

[Graybrew1]

Where does hotdogs rank?

Somewhere with Dead Presidents and Top Gun?

Pretty people with bad storylines. :icon_e_wink:

The "hot dog" of Stargate was the kids' cartoon: Stargate Infinity. Maybe more like cocktail wieners.

It also had bad ratings, and stunk up kids' channels for one season only.

I've never even seen a glimpse of that show.

Don't bother, it was awful. And it's not considered canon anyway.

It's not bad compared to sgu, but then Gilligan's Island is high art compared to sgu!

 

[Terran77]

Gilligan's Island was always worthy of a chuckle. SGU on the other hand was a weekly hour of... "aw, no... sadness... pain... oh no, what are they... ouch!... jesus, they're all horrible people! ...Man, they're screwing again..."

Who wants to watch an hour of downers and hard luck, with hopes constantly getting dashed against sharp rocks. Ugh, not for me.
