The second episode of season four didn’t fare as well as the premiere, which also didn’t have great ratings (vs. the whole cable universe, not the SciFi channel, mind you). The second episode lost about 16% of its viewers from the premiere falling to 1.801 million viewers (from 2.138 million for the premiere). I predict it will lose more, perhaps even me for the time being, although I’m sure I’ll go back and binge on them when it winds up completing.
Before getting to the spoilers here are the first two episodes ratings in their debut airings. We don’t even get the first Friday airings via Nielsen because they don’t make the weekly cable top 40. I’d rate our odds of ever seeing any of the data for the subsequent airings as very, very close to zero..
| Date | Episode | HH Rating/Share | Viewers (millions) | 18-49 Rating/Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 04/04/2008 | He That Believeth in Me | 1.3/2 | 2.138 | 1.1/3 |
| 04/11/2008 | Six of One | 1.1/2 | 1.801 | 0.9/3 |
| 04/18/2008 | The Ties That Bind | 1.1/2 | 1.741 | 0.8/3 |
Spoilers below…
Whatever promise the season four premiere held, some of it waned for me in the second episode. It seems likely they will drag out going back to earth until pretty much the finale and I think I may just be at the “all right, already just go to earth, sheesh!” point. Maybe I just didn’t like Number 6 (Tricia Helfer) with darker hair. Uh, no. She could dye her hair lime green and I’d still love her.
To be fair, last year there were episodes aplenty that were completely uninteresting to me. That was not the case with “Six of One”.
The episode had a few things I did enjoy but they probably amounted to about 10 minutes of viewing. I enjoyed Starbuck pulling a gun on the madam President, but that scene went a little (ok, way too) long. I enjoyed Starbuck calling Admiral Adama the gutless coward that he was and I enjoyed that it seemed to have motivated him to not be such a gutless coward. I also enjoyed the Natalie model of #6 demanding that Cavil (model #1) stop the the “raider lobotomies” and I especially enjoyed her calling in two Centurions (after having removed their “higher brain inhibitors” and seeing all the other human Cylons (besides Natalie) gunned down by them.
So far, the story line around the newly found out four human Cylons, including Tory getting naked with Baltar (and crying during sex) is completely uninteresting to me. Still, Baltar’s line that human’s may have created the cylons but it was the “one true God” who gave them souls will surely be revisited.
If there is a Starbuck “what life on a sewage ship is like” episode — so don’t want to watch that. Which probably ensures that there will be at least two…
Am I being too harsh? Or will another 337,000 bail out on this week’s episode. I’m guessing it will have fewer viewers than Six of One, but only by 150K-200K or about 1.6-1.65 million viewers. What do you think?
I think it will end with its ratings in the toilet. As it should. I have still not forgiven RDM for ripping apart a great show, jumping a year ahead, turning Baltar into a cartoon, and stripping Starbuck & Apollo of all that made them great and turning them into 90210 cheaters.

For the first two seasons of BG, I was famous for posting reviews and the infamous “Nitpicker’s Guide” to the series. I was willing to praise as well as criticise a show that has some passionate fans. However, by the time season 3 came around, I just couldn’t be bothered. The show wasn’t interesting enough for me to put in the time (and fight off the flames I would get).
My take is that BG will settle down in an episode or two more and the ratings will be steady. Season premiers always bring in the casual viewer, especially in light of the heavy (and generally ineffective) advertising the show got. Once these casual viewers fall away, BG will continue on until the season nears its end and casual viewers return to see them find Earth.
I don’t know what will happen with the prequel “Caprica”. My current guess is that ratings may be somewhat less than BG unless the action is increased. Way too early to tell.

BSG and Lost have the same problem, but Lost has a distinctive advantage. First – the problem. There are too many scenes that are just filler scenes. The writers must think that they are still on strike, or in this case, were dreaming of the strike beforehand. Case in point, the Roslin/Adama scene went on way too long and really had no impact on the storyline or for that matter was just plain boring. Lost has similar issues sometimes. Both shows go on hiatus regularly. For BSG, a half season is shown at one time. Maybe this is because the writers suck and can’t keep any real action going. For Lost, forget this year’s writer-designed strike. Think the last few years where ABC kept taking Lost off the air for weeks on end for supposed holidays and other lame reasons. When shows in the 1980s were on the air, a season literally had 23 to 30+ episodes. Think of Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, etc. The reason Commander in Chief went off the air was because they kept removing the show from one time slot to another and taking it off the air for holidays and other lame excuses probably to stretch the show to May as they are trying to do with Lost. The execs at ABC also fired the original creator so that they could make it into NYPD Blue style. So far, NBC/Sci-Fi. has not fired anyone, but perhaps they should hire some new writers to add to the mix. Ron Moore, the guy behind BSG shouldn’t be praised. You don’t praise someone who can’t sell his product. Finally, ABC’s advantage is that it is a network that everyone can get and has been able to see for years. We develop an affinity to check out what is on the major networks more so than on a small cable station. That is the distinctive advantage that Lost has over Sci-Fi. Lost has been known for being slow, but with more people tuning in, it seems to do better.

Robert, dont mention Nielsen meters being broken! You might end up getting bombed with peanuts from disgruntled Jericho fans. Believe it or not some of them are actually involved in something called “Nuts to Nielsen” to protest the ratings system.
BSG is definitely sputtering to conclusion, looks like Season 3’s decline was no fluke. Theres something about doing Iraq War allegories that is toxic to a show. Jericho’s ratings tanked when they did it. Though for BSG there are many other reasons already mentioned here as to why its not as popular as it was back during Season 1 and 2.
Maybe Caprica will bring back the magic. Then again Star Trek tried a prequel and we know how that turned out. Season 4 of Enterprise was actually pretty good but by then the damage was done.

If it’s the actual peanuts and not just the shells, bomb away. I love peanuts!
I’m so apolitical I completely over look any allegories to political stuff in stories. And when you think about it, whatever the names of the players, the stories are always the same anyway.
People haven’t changed much. Whether Greek tragedy or Shakespeare, it’s all been done before with no knowledge of who would be president of the US in 2001. It’s just the greek playwrites and Shakespeare wrote better stories and characters.

Robert – Um…….I think maybe you slipped up on the equal opportunity cheesecake picture for this post. Just saying. (Thanks for the post though. I haven’t watched since the beginning of Season 3. That season ruined it for me. Might watch the finale though.)

@Polly awwwww you’re killing the dream here. As I move towards my “elder statesman” years, I need at least the illusion that women find Edward James/Admiral Adama attractive. And you just shattered that illusion into thousands of tiny pieces. Thanks!
I’ll use something more cheesecake-esque for next week’s post. To quote Mick Jagger: what a drag it is getting old!

Nielsen Ratings and programmes like BSG are always going to be quite off the mark, the average viewer for BSG will be young, computer literate and get most of their TV shows off the internet. Its the way things are now. Till someone works out how to measure the audience figures based on downloads over Bitorrent and the like the ratings will never be accurate.

Robert & Bill – Sorry to shatter the dream, but we are talking about cheesecake here right? I guess the right word would be masterful when referring to the Admiral which is attractive. (at least in Season 1 & 2.)
Robert – I guess then we will be expecting a picture of Roslin(sp?) next week for the men, if we want to test your theory. She is still a beautiful woman. (And I’m old enough to know if that works for ya’ll then I can stop picking my own shattered illusions up off the floor!)
And yeah, Mick Jagger would know all about old! (No, throwing stuff)

The reason the ratings suck so bad (a 69% drop since the show started) is a) It’s badly rehashed source material, original created by Glen Larson that the 29-65 million weekly viewers of that show hate b) It’s full of plot holes and abandoned story arcs c) some of the actors are horrible especially Sackhoff d) an alien humaniod race driving Hummers in space and wearing JC Penny catalog clothes in space in insulting the intelligence e) contains shipper/soap opera love triangles that are better left in shows like the OC and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and f) the show brings nothing new to the genre of science fiction

Polly, you didn’t come off harsh. You came off truthful. But you know how it is: sometimes the truth hurts. I’m not a “shoot the messenger” kinda guy though. Guilty as charged and next week it will be Roslin and some beefcake.

If anyone is interested, here’s a chart I made detailing the ratings of the show from the very beginning and through the second episode of season four. I think it speaks for itself:
http://entertainmentnow.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/battlestar-galactica-ratings.jpg
Points on the chart are the coverage rating, not the national rating. I haven’t seen a coverage rating for this week’s episode yet, but I’m assuming it’s a 1.3 (that shouldn’t be off by more than +/- 0.1 points).

thanks for the link, Russ. Kind of a depressing chart. I also wonder how many people bought the Razor DVD. I could never find any data on that.

Stargate Atlantis pulls in the same numbers, some eps even better and gets a fraction of the promotion and recogintion as BSG. It just makes me sick that Stargate is more successful, yet it gets thrown to the side like it is inferior.

The website “The Numbers” have estimates for the “Razor” DVD (the debut week and more). Here’s the link for the debut week: http://www.the-numbers.com/dvd/charts/weekly/2008/20080323.php
#13 – 212,233 units – $8,266,475
So according to the site, the set has been on the charts for three weeks, has sold 284,668 units and has made $11,089,430.
Back to the BSG ratings. If there is any interest, I can post similar charts for “Stargate SG-1″ (seasons 6-10/ the SCI FI years) and “Stargate Atlantis” (seasons 1-4).
I’ve also updated the chart I posted above with some additional detail.

Russ, “The Numbers” is my go-to source for DVD sales info, too (I’ve mentioned it on the site a few times, though it was in reference to Jericho DVDs never appearing on that list!)
The numbers you cite above are for the season 3 DVDs. Though it actually DID have one week’s worth of data for Razor (147,768 units $2,953,882 for the week of Dec 9).
While I’m more of a data table than a chart guy for viewer info, it would be cool to see an SGA vs. BSG chart. if we had the table data, we’d link to that chart for sure.

You may be interested to know that SciFiWire publishes the SciFi Channel’s top ten shows every Monday. (They show up in the bottom right-hand corner of the site.) Unfortunately, these listings are about three weeks behind. However, if BSG does drop off the top twenty list, you will probably be able to get the show’s ratings numbers there. Most of SciFi’s original shows do show up on this list, although a few sank low enough in the ratings that they fell off even this list (Painkiller Jane, for example.) Note that this list only appears on Mondays, and there’s no historical record kept. If you forget to look at it, it’s gone forever.
By the way, those of us who have watched these SciFi Channel numbers for a number of years have noticed that a lot of their original show ratings have tapered off in the last two years, including the Stargate shows, which were always equally as popular for SciFi as BSG. (And probably at a fraction of the marketing costs – although I bet that Universal ponies up the nickel on the marketing costs, and not SciFi. Universal probably wants BSG to last long enough to make it into syndication and will do whatever it reasonably can to achieve that end.)
SciFi’s cheap Saturday night monster movie of the week keeps cooking along, always averaging about 1.0, but for some reason, their original shows have lost viewers. No one seems to have a plausable theory about why.

Russ – Thanks for the charts on BSG, SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Boy did BSG take a dive after Season 2. I’ve always wondered what kind of viewers the stargates had. Wish it was more, but I don’t think more would have kept SG-1 around for another season anyway. I wonder how the new SG-1 dvd did? (I think I read somewhere it came in at #7 the first week out?)

Polly it was the first week (selling around 250K copies), it actually has stayed on the charts and is now estimated to have sold 423,501 copies after 4 weeks and had total sales of $7,176,041.
It wasn’t really very good so I can’t recommend paying to see it, though it was good to spend some time with the old A-Team

Too late, already bought it. Had to so I would have all the SG-1 collection. (I love DVD’s what can I say.) Are those good numbers for this type of release? Just wondering.

No idea. I could compare with BSG Razor which was only on the charts for one week: 147,768 units $2,953,882. But that’s misleading for two reasons. 1.)it came out during the Christmas season when there was a ton of competition so it could have actually sold better but just not enough to ever make it back on the weekly charts and I’d have no way of knowing.
We do know at least in the first week BSG Razor had ~150K, and SG1: Ark of the Truth had ~250K units. But, 2.)Razor aired on TV first (and was even in a few movie houses), so since it was not exclusively on DVD, I’d say Razors numbers were pretty good.

Robert – Thanks for the information. I wasn’t expecting you to go to so much trouble. I was interested because I was wondering if there might be life for other television series through this venue? But $3 million doesn’t seem like enough to tempt too many studios.

Battlestar Galactica is a brillaint series. Those that still cling to the CHEESY, BORING, LAUGHABLE crapfest from the 70’s, go watch your awful reruns of that sixty minutes of filler. To those that know, this is a superb series. SO SAY WE ALL!

SciFi makes “SciFi Original Movies” that are ruining its reputation. How can anyone tune into a channel that shows entertainment that Ed Wood could make better. SCIFI sux. If BSG wasn’t on the air, I WOULD NEVER WATCH THIS 24hr. crap-a-rama. SciFi…you have fallen SO far. Your programming besides from BSG is LAUGHABLE. If BSG was on another network, the ratings would be better. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. But when Pumpkinhead 4 is your lead-in, and crap like Watchmen Reborn are shown all the time, why would anyone pay attention to your primetime line-up. Jesus, I could run SciFi channel better than the morons who are in charge now.

Sci Fi post their ratings every Monday at their Sci Fi Wire subsite.
I wouldn’t trust anything on SciFi site. They’re known for being less than honest when it comes to the ratings for GINO, which has been on life support for a couple of years now. The show is horrible and should have been canceled a long time ago.

It is sad too see this show go so off course. I don’t even think Nana Visitor coming on mid season as the final Cylon is going to help out the ratings at all.
…OOPS!
