Thanks Robert, I figured it was a longshot. Sadly we have to wait for SCI FI and they only release the ratings and not the actual viewers. Thanks for replying though. Oh and yes, great episode Indeed!

Marc, all we get is the weekly cable top 40 and due to the President’s Day holiday we won’t get them until tomorrow. There is ZERO chance Stargate Atlantis will be among the top 40 programs so unless the SciFi channel releases a press release, we won’t see the #s.

Great episode though and I LOVED the whole “You say indeed a lot” “Really? I was not aware of that.” exchange!

This is a longshot, but the folks here have always been friendly. Are there any numbers/ratings for Stargate Atlantis which aired on Friday @ 10/9C? Thanks.

thanks so much for answering the question. is there on ranking that’s more important than another in regards to how the show is doing?

Nielsen measures multiple things. One thing they measure is the # of Households tuned into the show. Based on the HH rankings, Nip Tuck ranked 14th.

But Nielsen also measures total viewers. Sometimes shows with a higher household rating have fewer viewers watching per house than other shows.

We believe in viewer numbers so we rank that way usually instead of by the household data.

question regarding Nip/Tuck. “it ranked 14th on a cable HH ratings basis, but in viewers it ranked 27th.”. Can you explain what this means. I don’t understand this, any insight is appreciated

Phineas and Ferb is doing pretty well I’d say. It didn’t make the top 20 this week, but it did make the top 40 with 3.31 million viewers

wow! Psych dropped a good number of viewers without Monk as a lead in. That makes me question the wisdom of burning a new Psych without pairing it with a new Monk. Seems like USA would’ve been better off having the 2 hour Monk spread over two weeks than saving for this Friday. Of course, if Monk and Psych pick up a significant amount of viewers this week, that would be a win for the network.

Also, I’m interested in how the Phineas and Ferb show is doing for Disney. My family has had a blast with that show.
