Earthsea Is A Ratings Hit
SciFi Channel scored itself another hit with its Legend of Earthsea mini-series. The two episodes averaged a 3.2 rating (3.7 million viewers) on their premieres. Perhaps even better as far as SciFi is concerned, while episode 1 drew a 3.0 rating (3.44 million viewers), episode 2 drew a 3.4 rating (3.92 million viewers).
Lately mini-series have tended to tail off rather than gain viewers. The only way to read this is as a success for SciFi. Unfortunately the reviews I’ve seen appear to be less positive.
I have both episodes recorded on my Tivo but haven’t had the time to watch them. Its hard to find 4 hours to spare. I have read the trilogy on which this is based a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I’ll be interested to see how this compares.
