Hey,
Does anyone know how SCI FI did for their Primetime viewer average? I see they failed to make the top 20. Thanks!
Marc, We only see the top 20 aggregate cable networks ratings, and this week SciFi wasn't in the top 20. They have been in the past.

SciFi is really good at hyping itself. Not so good at delivering an audience. They really need to re-examine who they order their movies and shows from.
