They've yanked Tremors from Fridays until June along with Cleopatra2525 or Tracker or whatever they had on at 8 pm. Both shows are being replaced with Stargate repeats. Only Scare Tactics remains. For how long I wonder? And they've yanked the Wednesday encores for Tremors and Scare Tactics. Roar has moved to 8 pm and a movie has been put after it.

Gosh, do you think Skiffy is about to become the all Stargate all the time channel?

Later with contact info.

;)

[blue]

Very interesting. Do we know ratings for them yet?

[CosmicTheorist]

I've been following Tremors ratings because I want to do a year ago comparison with Farscape. The final 4 eps for Farscape season 3 aired in April of 2002 at 9 pm (EST). The ratings for Farscape last year were: 1.3, 1.0, 1.2, and 1.2.

On March 28 Tremors had 2 episodes shown at 9 and 10 pm; the ratings for those eps were: 1.6 at 9 and 2.0 at 10. According to Scifiwire on Monday, Tremors got a 1.2 rating on April 4th, the night Scare Tactics debuted. That's the last official numbers. Rumors have it that Tremors ratings for April 11th were 1.1, and rumors have it that last Friday's Tremors got a 0.6, which could explain the VERY fast reshuffle of Friday's lineup. I haven't read any rumors for the April 18th Tremors ep. And I have read absolutely NOTHING about Scare Tactics ratings except for the 1.6 published by Monday's Scifiwire, not even rumors.

It will still be later for the contact info.

I saw a note in another thread that said Xothas was wokring on getting us ratings info; no word yet. I saw the same thing on SciFiwire, and was thinking of posting a new thread on that topic- this is totally OT for this thread, but I think we have a really good opportunity to play this situation up to help the campaign...

CT, have you thought about posting anything on this? If not, I may go ahead and snurch your post here and put up a new thread on it-

re sign-up list- I think we've degenerated into a more chaotic state, but I'm loathe to do anything as long as it's still working OK....

[CosmicTheorist]

I haven't thought of posting anything on ratings comparisons, if that's what you meant, until I get the real bona fides for Tremors. But at this point, if the rumors are true, it looks like Farscape will remain as Skiffy's highest rated original (and I mean really original, not kind of original like Stargate) series and undefeated champion, except of course for Stargate which definitely beat Farscape in a year ago comparison last summer. Whew, try getting that out in one breath.

Contact info probably after Angel.
