‘Alliances’ drops Stargate Universe ratings to series low

Stargate Universe fell to its lowest live viewership level yet this week, as Syfy Channel airs the final stretch of episodes after announcing its cancellation in December.

“Alliances” drew approximately 814,000 viewers (Live + Same Day) on Monday night, with a 0.4 household rating in the 18 to 49 demographic. This is down 12 percent from last week.

Stargate‘s lead-in series Being Human drew 1.195 million viewers at 9 p.m., a 13 percent drop from last week.

On the major networks in the 10 p.m. time slot, Castle finished first this week with an estimated 12.03 million viewers on ABC, boosted by the 2-hour premiere of Dancing with the Stars as its lead-in. CBS’s Hawaii Five-0 turned in 10 million viewers, while Harry’s Law‘s drew 8.43 million for NBC.

On USA, 5.265 million tuned in to WWE Raw in the 10 p.m. hour.

Next week Stargate Universe continues its final episodes with “Hope” at 10/9c on Syfy!  Learn more in GateWorld’s Season Two episode guide, and keep your browser locked here for all the latest from the franchise.

  • Posting ratings is like kicking a dead horse. Does it really matter anymore with SGU not getting a proper ending?

  • Well,Atleast its not on Tuesdays at 9pm anymore,It would be going against ABC's Series "V"

  • At least i watched! I just recorded my other tv shows so I could watch it later and just watched sgu live intstead of the other way around like I assume most people did. But this is trully sad to see the ratings drop this low, it only makes syfy's decision to cancel the show right. Sure ratings don't matter much since the show is canned and a movie or two might be made anyways, but if another network was looking into renewing the series, they're probably looking away right now. Seriously STARGATE..the leading scifi show to which all scifi shows like to look up too, is failing. This is just sad, I can't believe MGM would just let syfy throw sgu around on such bad timeslots. And I dont even watch Being Human but its numbers are dropping too, to the point of cancellation

  • Something is just horribly wrong with the way ratings are gathered these days. I believe way more than 814,000 people are still watching the series. The way ratings are logged these days isn't reliable. I don't have a Neilsen box ... I don't get home until after Stargate airs and I DVR the show on my Windows Media Center so I can watch it the same evening. It's not being captured for ratings. So, I'd say, obviously the numbers are wrong. I gave SGU a shot and love it!

  • All they had to do was air it during the summer and keep away from the absolutely absurd and unnecessarily long breaks. Either SyFy is completely incompetent at every level of decision making with its schedule or they are purposefully killing off shows, there are no other explanations.
