I gotta think that those are pretty strong numbers. It was the first week on, I would anticipate the viewership going up. Even someone like me, who is pretty ML obsessed, forgot that it was on Friday!! Imagine the folks who watched it last week, who will turn in this week, then tell their friends, who will tell their friends.......

I bought my DVD set from Amazon, so no squeeing in public (but in my home...yeah!! LOL), but I did email all my friends/family to watch the show. A couple of people emailed me back saying they'd either watch or DVR it, so YAY.

That's the spirit, wondergirl!!

Not one female that I have turned on to this show, has been disappointed with it.
After watching it, they all "get it."

Just an FYI....it seems the original source I got some of the viewership numbers from was incorrect. Invasion had 830,000 viewers, not the 627,000 originally posted. It's better, but certainly not great.

Looking through other cable results, here's a few numbers to use for comparison purposes:

WWE Entertainment -- 6.165 million
Burn Notice -- 5.124
Monk -- 4.969 (Friday night 9PM opposite ML)
NCIS (USA network) -- 4.793
Psych -- 3.831 (Friday night 10PM)

Most of the big numbers other than what's listed above come from cable news shows.

I emailed everyone on my list as well..also, if you have the means, I suggest donating an extra DVD set to your public library. Mine was thrilled to have it and it has already been checked out! Maybe we'll get a few more bites..

I ordered one for the library. The NYC library system is not taking book/dvd donations at this time but Brooklyn library system where I live says they are.

So we will see.

Cool! More converts and a tax deduction.
*continues randomly stopping into DVD stores asking for Moonlight*

The SciFi Numbers for the 30th are here,

Moonlight got a few more viewers this week , and , Batt. Galact. lost some viewers ,even with an original episode. Invasion at 8 PM lost viewers too.

http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/02/03/th ... wing/12066



Batt. Galat........1,560 (this week)..............1,717 (last weekk)
Moonlight..........1,199 (this week).............1,166 (last week)
Invasion.............656.000 (this week)..........830.000 (last week)

Not great great , but seeing the numbers for Bat. Galact. I guess it could be worst. After all I am sure sciFi is spending more money in Bat. Galact than the money they spent for Moonlight reruns.
So, only ML got more viewers this Friday at SciFi , the others 2 shows lost them.

I'm ecstatic we got more viewers (surprised that BSG lost viewers! It's their last season), but I still cannot take the Nielsen rating system seriously. It's the biggest joke EVER.

Apologies if this has been posted in another thread (can be deleted if so), but our beloved show doesn't appear to be in the charts this week according to this site

It went down below 340 K? That seems impossible... do they only count first runs in this system?

I'm confused. Why is Moonlight not listed? Does this mean that no one was watching it? I find it hard to believe that it was below 343K from being up the week before.

I checked a few other sites, ones that gave me the ratings for the first 2 airings, and no new ratings were listed for last week's ep. It seems really strange, since they gained over 30,000 viewers between weeks 1 and 2, that they would lose so many between 2 and 3. Anyone have any other sites that we can get confirmation on?

Thank you Laura for finding this!! Ratings went up!! Can't wait to see the ratings for Fever and after.

As somewhat of an aside, we get a lot of yakking in the comments about how you don’t need 100 episodes to get into syndication. And it’s true, obviously. Shows like Moonlight (which got 1.262 million viewers last Friday night, SciFi’s ninth highest ranked show for the week) and Jericho obviously made their way into the wild with much fewer than 100 episodes.
