There has been talk of how well the show has been doing ever since the pilot aired. We know that the ratings broke records for that first episode, but the ratings apparently dipped quite a bit after. However, it's not uncommon for the ratings to spike in the beginning then trail off a bit. The important thing is that they don't keep going down.
Well, the last episode actually went up a little in the ratings, which is great news. Supposedly the show sounds like it is on the edge of coming back for a season two, but the ratings for the next couple of episodes will likely be determining factors. David Goyer, Neil Jackson, and Jill Wagner have all come out urging people to watch this week's episode. They also say that if possible, watch the first airing of the episode (the one that's on at 10pm), as that is the one that counts.
I personally am not sure how ratings are determined. I don't know if you have to have a special box on your tv to track your shows, or if they somehow can tell just by the signal being delivered to different homes. I think it's better to be safe than sorry, so make sure you tune in this Wednesday to help keep this great show alive!
If anybody does know how the ratings are calculated, if you could leave a comment below or send me an email via the contact form that'd be great.
