Syfy<\/a> has issued a press release on the overnight ratings for Stargate Universe<\/em><\/a>. These are preliminary Nielsen ratings from major markets, and they don’t include delayed viewing by DVR. Those “Live + 7” numbers will be released later and will likely add a significant number of viewers to the total.<\/p>\n

In any case, according the release posted here at TV By The Numbers<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Stargate Universe<\/em> […] grabbed 2.35 million total viewers along with a 1.7 HH rating, 1.32 million Adults 25-54, and 1.12 million Adults 18-49 during its two-hour debut episode from 9-11PM (ET\/PT).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The release goes on to say the show bested Dollhouse<\/em> on Fox, and was the most watched Stargate<\/em> premiere since Season 2 of Stargate Atlanti<\/em>s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As to whether this performance was better or worse than expected, it’s interesting to note that this summer, Syfy’s Warehouse 13<\/em><\/a> scored the biggest viewership ever for a series telecast for the network. As reported here<\/a>, that episode had 4.4 million viewers, but over 1 million of those came via DVR playback.<\/p>\n

Considering the level of promotion done for SGU, one might wonder if the 1.7 HH rating is a disappointment, even though it did beat a network show. And DVR data is likely to add a huge percentage to the figures.<\/p>\n
