Stargate SG-1 continued its reign atop the U.S. syndication ratings chart the week of February 7. The premiere of Season Seven’s “Chimera” earned a 2.0 average household rating, equalling the show’s season average to date.

Here’s how the top three first-run dramatic series came in:

Stargate SG-1 – 2.0 (“Chimera”)
Andromeda – 1.6
Mutant X – 1.5

Almost 2.2 million households tuned in for the episode. This is a drop of one-tenth of a point from the previous week (a rerun of “Fragile Balance”), and two-tenths of a point from the previous new episode two weeks ago. Stargate is the only show in its category to average a 2.0 or higher this season.
