Sci-Fi / Fantasy Ratings this week

You realize of course that it is February 2003 now.

Is Buffy still UPN's #1 show?

And I think Alias is running stealth as far as the Sci-Fi/Fantasy angle is concerned.

Unfortuntely for you Buffy and Enterprise fans these shows are sinking to the bottom of UPN's ratings.

UPN shows:
91. "World Wrestling Entertainment Smackdown!," UPN, 3.2
92. "One On One," UPN, 2.6
93. "The Parkers," UPN, 2.5
96. "Girlfriends," UPN, 2.3
99. "Half and Half," UPN, 2.1
105. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," UPN, 1.8
108. "Enterprise," UPN, 1.6
109. "UPN's Movie Friday: The Cell," UPN, 1.5
113. "Abby," UPN, 1.2
115. (Tie) "One On One-Tuesday," UPN, 1.1
115. (Tie) "The Twilight Zone," UPN, 1.1 (lowest rated show of any network that isn't PAX)

Sabrina just moved networks, from ABC to WB. I think it was wooed away, as WB saw it as a perfect fit for the audience they were aiming for.

Well, I wouldn't know, being Icelandic 'n all. The show was on here, but then just stopped and hasn't been shown or mentioned since. I just always assumed it had been cancelled.

There is a rumor that Fox is wanting to get Smackdown this fall when the contract ends, (and that was considered a real bad rating for Smackdown, by the way). UPN's got some problems.

45. "Alias," ABC, 6.7

And I'm not sure how much longer UPN can afford to keep Twilight Zone on as it is rated behind PAX shows.

Whoops yeah what he said 45. "Alias," ABC, 6.7 .

Alias is also one of my favoriate shows. Some people do not consider it sci-fi or fantasy (despite the Rambaldi episodes). I am a big fan of 24 as well, though I just cannot justify that as sci-fi or fantasy...it's d20 Modern though!

And for the love of all that is holy, I forgot to ask how Farscape did. I should be drawn and quartered for my offense...

Anywhere near a 2.0?

It must not have aired this week, since it is not listed. Or perhaps th chart covers only network TV (plus PAX)?

How happy must Fox be. They have the 3 spot, the 5 spot, and the 6 spot, all with inexpensive reality shows (American Idol and Joe Millionaire). NBC has friends and ER in the top 5, but both are acutally money losers I have heard, since they are paying the actors more than the show brings in for advertising, but using the shows to "achor" their other shows and bring profit in that way. And then CBS is doing well with both CSI shows (which I have yet to see, though I am thinking of checking them out). Poor ABC, the only thing they have is The Bachelorette, and that is at number 16. Who ever thought Fox would kick ABCs butt so often?

The ratings that are being posted are only for US Broadcast TV not cable or syndicaion. There are cable and syndication ratings but I don't know where to find them. PAX qualifies for this since it is a broadcast network, it just uses low power stations and mainly shows syndicated reruns although they do have some original series.

Yeah, it's UPN.

You realize of course that it is February 2003 now.

You have to look at the dates at the bottom of the graph. It starts from October or so 2002, goes through current week of new runs. Some seem to be behind, though; I don't know why.
