Sci Fi Friday Is Ratings Hit
The Sci Fi Channel’s Sci Fi Fridays started up again this last Friday (July 15th) and its proved a huge ratings success again. Stargate SG-1 kicked off the evening with its ninth season and scored a 2.1 household rating with 2.6 million viewers. Thats a remarkably 5% higher than its January premiere.
The evening continued with Stargate Atlantis which launched its second season with a 2.2 rating and 2.8 million viewers. Thats 6% up on its January premiere audience. Battlestar Galactica rounded out the evening and scored its highest ratings ever with a 2.6 household rating and 3.1 million viewers.
The ratings improvements are particularly remarkable since this is the summer season and usually television ratings in the summer are down from the rest of they year. We can only hope that the continuing success of the Sci Fi Friday brand and the Sci Fi Channels original programming will result in more such shows in the future.

It just goes to show you, people will defy their “normal behavior” in order to watch a quality written, quality acted, and quality produced television show. Long live Sci Fi Fridays.
