Sanctuary Ratings Discussion

[shavedape]

nope sgu was a "new" show and didn't have an already established audience following it. Sanctuary has been around several years and the fans have followed it. sgu was bleeding fans from the start. I still don't beleive it should have been given the second season from the start.

Since SGU carried the Stargate moniker it shouldn't have been given a first season until it had been properly vetted. Giving it two seasons sight-unseen was insane. Sanctuary is a whole different animal from start to finish. The ratings issues both series had aren't because of the same thing, as you state.

One thing I never liked about the move was that it was too fast, within, like, 3 days of it's last episode on Fri, and with little promotion. For about 3 weeks now, the ratings for UL haven't been out, which I wish they were so we could see them.

I want the show back on Fri, it always did good there, it's the shows home, and it's easier for a lot of people I know to watch it on Fri, than on Mon. Does anyone know the ratings for UL? I mean if it gets canned, or whenever the season ends, I WANT Syfy to put Sanc back where it belongs in the fall. WITH a proper lead in.

Urban Legends finale was on 5/23 I think. No idea if it is coming back.

Actually the series low was not unopposed; it was opposite the NBA playoffs among other things.

and don't forget the recent solar flare activity to be perfectly accurate.

Meh. Noting the fact of the NBA playoffs is not the same as grasping for straws like solar flare activity.

Wasn't the solar flares supposed to be a joke.

It's hard to tell. If it was then I apologize.

 

[Gatefan1976]

It was a joke, based on reasons why SGU failed to succeed

 

[shavedape]

Solar flares as a reason for why something works or doesn't? Bah! That's hokum! Now, if we're talkin' about choking a chicken or two, well, that's been known to work -- or at least make things more pleasant.

The joke was missing some emoticons to let you know it was one. LOL.

Now, Am I just being totally stupid and naive but somebody please PM me and explain what you all are talking about.

 

[Stonelesscutter]

Solar flares are ********.
Gamma ray bursts, that's what it's all about.

Okay, that is not what I was thinking. Thanks.

I have a feeling I can guess what you were thinking about Ape's comment.

I think if we get hit with a gamma ray burst the ratings will be a big goose egg.

Lets get back on point eh?
