Well, Code Name Eternity is off the list at no better than a 1.0, but we already knew that. And I'm not sure if Tremors was run that week. It has been showing up at around 1.2 for a few weeks. Maybe Dave finally just got tired of it. And as MediaSavant has often pointed out, people really love dragon movies! Finally, it seems that my prediction that Stargate would start to show a little erosion in their ratings was nothing more than wishful thinking. The 1.9 is an increase from last week, so it appears that Stargate is still going strong. Viva la Mediocrity! sayeth the knobs at skiffy.

Yeah, it's something when you can't even make the top ten list with a 1.1 rating. (Seven telecasts had 1.1's. They had to resort to the hundredths of a decimal point to pick the one that made the list)

And I don't believe they spent a cent on advertising. Just on-air promotion.

People love those dragons.

Good Lord! Where does one draw the line between SciFi and "camp"?

"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" can't be far off!

They've already aired "The Flintstones", so obviously have no
intention of sticking to the name they've chosen.

Makes me wonder who watches Sci-Fi these days...I didn't tune in to a single one of those shows...actually, I can't recall the last time I actually turned on that channel for more than a few minutes since Farscape went off the air, except for the last marathon day.

It sounds to me like Skiffy has done just what they set out to do: broaden their audience. In fact, they've broadened it so much that it no longer includes science fiction fans.
