SG-1<\/i> held fairly steady in the ratings<\/b>

\nStargate SG-1<\/i> ended its summer season on the SciFi Channel on September 16 and held impressive ratings for a show in its ninth season and with major cast changes, as well as a permanent move to the 8PM Eastern timeslot. The show kicks off SciFi Channel’s highly competitive “SciFi Friday” line-up which includes spin-off Stargate Atlantis<\/i> and Battlestar Galactica<\/i>, both programs of which are in their second seasons.<\/p>\n

Joseph Mallozzi, executive producer and writer, has stated that ratings are a major factor in considering renewals, “When we moved to SciFi Channel, we were hoping for 1.5 – 1.7 average and ended up with slightly higher. After the SciFi Channel expanded its viewer base, we expected those numbers to drop slightly but, instead, they inched higher. Last year, we were hitting 2.0’s, 2.1’s, 2.2’s consistently. If that keeps up, I would think chances are good – but who knows. There are other variables that go into making that sort of decision – [chiefest] of which is the economic viability of continuing to produce the show. In the end, if it becomes a money-losing proposition, then the plug will be pulled. However, if DVD sales are any indication, the show seems to be doing alright in that respect.”<\/p>\n

The following are the ratings for the 8PM Eastern first-run airings of each episode in the first half of Season Nine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
9.01 “Avalon Part 1”<\/td>\n2.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
9.02 “Avalon Part 2”<\/td>\n2.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
9.03 “Origin Part 3”<\/td>\n2.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
9.04 “The Ties That Bind”<\/td>\n2.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
