PR for STARGATE: BROKENOATH

[Updated on 13 September with ratings for 8th episodes of both series.]

Ratings are in for the most recent three episodes of SG-1 and Atlantis; note that episodes 6 and 7 for both shows were up against US coverage of the Olympic Games. For episode 8, SG-1 clearly beat Atlantis in spite of SciFi’s annoying new ploy of going straight into Atlantis without showing the SG-1 credits, preview, or commercials, expressly for the purpose of trying to boost the ratings for the first few minutes of Atlantis. The real difference might be even greater.

So far the ratings for Stargate SG-1 Season 8 are as follows:
9 July: 8.01 “New Order” — 2.43
23 July: 8.03 “Lockdown” — 1.97
30 July: 8.04 “Zero Hour” — 2.16
6 August: 8.05 “Icon” — 2.2
13 August: 8.06 “Avatar” — 1.8
20 August: 8.07 “Affinity” — 1.8
27 August: 8.08 “Covenant” — 2.1

For Stargate: Atlantis Season 1 they are:
16 July: 1.01 “Rising” — 3.2
23 July: 1.03 “Hide and Seek” — 2.47
30 July: 1.04 “38 Minutes” — 2.45
6 August: 1.05 “Suspicion” — 2.17
13 August: 1.06 “Childhood’s End” — 1.9
20 August: 1.07 “Poisoning the Well” — 1.8
27 August: 1.08 “Underground” — 1.9

Thanks in large part to its Stargate series SG-1 and Atlantis, SciFi Channel garnered record-breaking ratings this summer, placing the channel into the top 10 for primetime ad-supported cable channels.

If you get offered a second chance to buy something, please contact Legends by e-mailing stargate@legends-memorabilia.com

Journalist Mary McNamara has reported on the OurStargate Forum (thread here) that SciFi Channel received record ratings for Friday night’s episode of Stargate: SG-1, 8.05 “Icon”, which featured the Daniel Jackson character in a story of global war. The overnight (preliminary) rating was 2.2, representing 2.8 million people. This is the highest rated regular episode of SG-1 ever, topped only by the premier of Season 8, 8.01 “New Order”. Also for the first time, Stargate: SG-1 beat Stargate:Atlantis, though by a small margin, with Atlantis earning a 2.17.

So far the ratings for Season 8 are as follows:
9 July: 8.01 “New Order” — 2.43
23 July: 8.03 “Lockdown” — 1.97
30 July: 8.04 “Zero Hour” — 2.16
6 August: 8.05 “Icon” — 2.2

For Atlantis they are:
16 July: 1.01 “Rising” — 3.2
23 July: 1.03 “Hide and Seek” — 2.47
30 July: 1.04 “38 Minutes” — 2.45
6 August: 1.05 “Suspicion” — 2.17

The average rating for SG-1 in Season 7 was 1.77, so these ratings represent a 20% increase over last year. The number of viewers will have increased even more, since SciFi channel is in more homes, so every ratings point represents more people. No surprisingly, Mary reported that SciFi is very happy with these figures.

Thanks to Mary McNamara and OurStargate Forum for providing the ratings news. Congratulations to writer Damian Kindler, director Peter Woeste, producers Joe Mallozzi and Paul Mullie, and Michael Shanks for scoring big with “Icon,” whose opening scene was one of the best ever of a Stargate episode, in my humble opinion 😉

Solutions is always proud to announce significant developments in the Stargate: SG-1 world, and to provide our own analysis of spoilers as they become available. However with the increasing popularity of the show we’ve found it hard to keep up with all of the news! We’d therefore like to recommend the sg1_spoilme Yahoo! Group as an additional source for SG-1 and Atlantis spoilers and news. sg1_spoilme is the largest Stargate-related Yahoo! group, with over 4500 members. It’s a great source for learning about interviews, news coverage, episode-related website updates, fan convention reports, and general behind-the-scenes goings on for both Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis. The list owners work very hard to gather all relevant news each and every day.

Join the list here: Join sg1_spoilme

All posts to the list are moderated so that only news, information, and spoilers get through, with no contentious or off-topic discussion. Just the facts, ma’am. The list does not push an agenda or censor information based on who sends it in, where it is hosted, perceived fandom allegiances, personal actor preferences, or any other political baloney.

If you want to know all that’s going on in the Stargate world, sg1_spoilme is the place for you!

You may now return to writing those letters to TPTB about “Threads” 🙂

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) The premiere of “Stargate Atlantis,” the spinoff of the Sci Fi Channel’s popular “Stargate SG-1” series, delivered some of the best ratings in the network’s history.

The two-hour series premiere on Friday (July 16) drew nearly 4.2 million viewers, the biggest-ever audience for a weekly series on the cable network. (Some miniseries, such as “Taken” and “Battlestar Galactica,” have averaged more viewers.)

It also marked the first time a Sci Fi series has ever delivered more than 4 million viewers and better than a 3.0 household rating (3.2). Its ratings among adults 18-49, the key demographic for advertisers, were also a network best.

“Atlantis” stars Joe Flanigan, Rainbow Sun Francks and Tori Higginson as members of a Stargate team that explores a new galaxy after finding a gate in Antarctica. The gate leads to Atlantis, which is not on Earth but has jumped to another galaxy.

The show is a spinoff of “Stargate SG-1,” which recently began its third season on Sci Fi and eighth overall. “SG-1” also set record ratings with its July 9 season premiere, which averaged 3.2 million viewers.
