Syfy announces April schedule for Stargate Universe

Syfy Channel has announced its plans for April, including four more new episodes of Stargate Universe on Monday nights!

SGU will move from 10 p.m. to the 9 p.m. (8 Central) time slot after its lead-in, Being Human, airs its season finale.  That takes place Monday, April 11, with Stargate moving up an hour staring April 18.  (The same-night repeats will also move, from 12 midnight to 11 p.m.)  On that night, Stargate will also take over the 8 p.m. time slot with repeats of the previous week’s new episode as SGU‘s new lead-in.

Pseudo-documentary show Urban Legends will round out Monday nights at 10 p.m., starting April 18.

Here are the episodes of Stargate on deck for April:

April 4“Seizure” (guest stars Atlantis‘s Robert Picardo and David Hewlett!)
April 11“The Hunt”
April 18“Common Descent”
April 25“Epilogue”

This puts the series final on track from Monday, May 9.

Repeats of Stargate SG-1 will continue weeknights at 1 a.m., with April bringing the show up to Season SevenAtlantis‘s repeats have just been bumped from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m., so set your VCR accordingly.  After the series finale on April 4 (technically, the morning of April 5), Atlantis will begin again with the first season the night of April 5.

The two shows will also add afternoon repeats near the end of the month, with Atlantis at 4 p.m. and SG-1 at 5 p.m. weekdays from April 25.  Scheduling is, of course, subject to change.

  • head to head with the the Chicago code.

    well that will pushing rating down at least big in the Chicago area.

  • @JoeTheDragon that show already has failing raitings, and most Chicagoins agree that the show is utter fantasy. I'm more concerned with SGU going head to head with The Event; it seems NBC is going to raitings war with itself. I like both shows, but my heart belongs to stargate so I'm just gonna watch The Event on Hulu. I made ths same decision when SGU was on tuesdays and in competition with NCIS: LA, but maily because NCIS: LA is a dull show.

  • VCR, does anyone still use that.
    MGM really need to reinvent the wheel here, get more revenue, just put the show for download for 50cts or free with ads, hey it's being downloaded illegaly anyway, so they got nothing to lose, also, they really need to cut budget to under 1 million. Was really that new set needed?, i mean, come on is that really needed, could they just come to a alien planet and use the stones to investigate ?
    I love the show as it is but it's easy to see why people are blaming the stones, the drama and asking for a more family friendly show. More action was needed indeed in 1st season.

  • Shouldn't that read, "after its lead-in, Being Human, airs its -SERIES- finale?" Nothing lasts that long on SyFy anymore, and nobody's even watching that.

  • get real. If they could have had a better model to save the show, they would have (and they would have done the same for Caprica). The sad truth is that both series didn't have a wide audience and even if they were there, they weren't watching it live, which is the most important part.

  • @TV Junkie I don't think so I think that series is still on. Might come back for the next season.

  • Caprica and SGU were both great shows that died because of bad scheduling decisions, not becuase of content.

    Fanboys that hated both wanted regurgitated BSG and SG-1.

  • Forgive my ignorance but I have a quick question on the Nielsen ratings system.
    Are people who rent apartments ever approached by Nielsens to take part or do they only want "households" taking part. And when I write household I mean family with 2.5 kids, dog, cat and white picket fence.
    If its households only then what kind of a Bullshit system is at work here.

  • SGU failed during season 1, because it was trying too hard to be "BSG 2.0", and too little to be "Stargate". For much of season 1, I referred to the show as being "Battlegate Voyager", due to it's obvious similarities with BSG and ST: Voyager respectively.

    Now that the show finally shows some signs of actual STORY improvement, it's cancelled and will end on a cliffhanger. If they would've left well enough alone, and leave the show on Fridays, or better yet during the summers, ratings would go up. You don't move a "poorly rated" show into a timeslot going up against some of the most watched shows on tv.
