It won't come back to huge ratings when it airs vs highly rated new network programming and gets all the advertizing of a hemorrhodial cream. Cable shows aren't really competing with network shows. Not in the way you might think. Cable viewers skew more toward watching cable shows than network. There is some weird mental decision "I won't watch network TV."

Dedicated viewers, no. I'm referring to the "swing voters" aka Nielsen independents who aren't wedded to watching either just network or just cable TV. My guess is the difference is probably a good .3-.6 in the ratings, ie if it got a 1.9 against CSI: Wherever, it would've made a 2.2-2.5 against a rerun of 20/20. When they operate on the edge like that, it might have made a difference.

The dedicated viewer makes up less than half of the average Nielsen number per show. I have a Nielsen expert coming on my podcast on Sunday... if you want, I will link it to you so you can hear how it works.  She has taught me a hell of a lot about ratings.

Dumb Move by SyFy to move the show to compete with 2 major network programs and House.

I think Skatezilla was referring to the move to Tuesdays at 9:00 and preceeding Caprica which ran at 10:00. I forget what were the specific shows but both were definitely up against network programming. In the case of Caprica though, it was getting lousy ratings even before it was moved to Tuesdays.

Tuesdays it was against 2 network shows that are on break right now. Mondays I thought was gonna be a 9PM slot in an article I read which would have put it up against HOUSE, which is why its been pushed back to 10pm. I dont see why they would leave it one tuesday and compete with 2 network shows now on break, but move it to mondays to avoid competing with V which is about to share the same fate as SGU.

1. It will ALWAYS be up against 2 (or more) networks shows unless it runs at 6pm or 11pm. 2. HOUSE is on at 8pm on Monday, not 9pm. 3. No clue... but I will say it again, cable viewers tend to watch cable over network shows, so they are not competing in the way you say.
