@Samuel,
Because of a power outage at Nielsen, all the numbers are delayed. We’ll know more at 4 pm Eastern, but no guarantees that we’ll get the ratings then.

Well said Matt! I definitely agree!

Thanks for letting us know the expected info date! Keep up the good work.

Awesome show. I hope it keeps being successful and builds a strong following. The quality cinematography often surprises me.

I’m really liking this show as well. I am along with many of you growing very tired of SGU and how boring it is. LOTS is a breath of fresh air. Great job to the cast!

I really enjoyed the 2nd season premier; I watched the first season, enjoyed it, and was curious so I read the series. They’ve done an artful job adapting (as opposed to transcribing) the novels, and keeping the spirit of the books intact in a non-serialized format. I REALLY hope it does well and we get all the way through the last book

When I sampled it last season, it was in HD (on WPIX in NYC) for the originals but SD (and cropped) for the repeats. Next time I see it, I’ll tell you what it is this season.

Anyone get this show in HD by chance? I watched season 1 over the summer on Hulu and recorded Season 2 premier on Saturday, but it was unfortunately in SD (yes, I’m an HD snob now ;p ). I even checked with my local CW station, and they said it is distributed in SD only.

I absolutely LOVE this show! Can’t wait to see how well it did for the premiere!

@RJ- Me too. Took some searching though.

I think it was really smart of them to air the S1 finale along with the S2 premiere. I also watched some of the LotS marathon on Syfy last week. I hope that brought in some new viewers.

Great premiere and glad the show is back!

I ended up finding LOTS on WGN at 4pm in my area.

Syndicated shows like LOTS really have it rough in getting viewers, checked a few random zip codes while checking for air time in my own area and found that LOTS aired in a different time slot for every one. The 1st airing on 1 CW affiliate actually starts on midnight saturday.

LOTS does have the advantage of being aired twice on most stations though, hope that helps.

Ratings for LOTS season 1 premiere were 4.1 million viewers and 2.5 in the demos. I think, but I’m far from sure that the ratings for the season were pretty steady. So good ratings.

It’s interesting to see the way they adapt it from the books. I love the books, but I also think that they’re doing a great job with the show. It’s only a loose interpretation, but even Terry Goodkind says to just enjoy the show for what it is and not expect the books on screen. GREAT JOB!!

spin or no, way easier than combing through B&C! thanks for the link. Not much in the way of viewer numbers, and I will make a point to post them in the future for season 2, but they will always be delayed by at least a week (Syndicated viewer averages for the week ending 11/1 won’t be available to us until Tuesday).

I had no idea season 2 had premiered yet or was even due to soon. Don’t they have an advertising budget?

I watched Legend of the Seeker for the first time last weekend, before the premiere and even without knowing much about the characters or the story I found it very enjoyable. This evening the aired the season premiere with the finale from the first season. It was like a 2 hour movie.

A few comments back, Chad said:

“So glad to have it back. With SGU becoming a trite soap opera, I want something entertaining in the realm of sci/fi or fantasy.”

This is exactly how I feel. A lot of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy shows are now gone, but we’re finally getting something back that is worth watching.

this show is addictive!! i cannot believe that richard is a brother of darken rahl!! also, i rly wish kalhan and richard can be together as a lover… hey- i wish this show have a date, so i can know when it will be on for the next episode..

igor, I know of nothing comprehensive. If you go to Wikipedia and find the episode dates and then comb through all of the weekly syndication reports you can probably dig up most of the ratings (HH ratings) but not viewer numbers.

Not a small project, and not one I will take on, but you might want to give it a whirl if you’re motivated…

I am interested in the numbers for LOTS from last year especially the season finale I can;;t find it anywhere?

RJ, what are your local MyNet and CW channels?

So glad to have it back. With SGU becoming a trite soap opera, I want something entertaining in the realm of sci/fi or fantasy.

The second season premiere was a rampaging delightful mess, and loved it.

The score isn’t bad at all, though in fairness its something that television producers have almost given up on, so for any show to really treat the score seriously is always nice.

Never seen an episode of LOTS, my local affiliates dont air it.

@thedemondog, yes the music is fantastic, Joseph Loduca is a GOD

@Kenny, the show did well enough to get renewed for another season

Is the music in this show really that good? I have never seen it, but I know that it won the Emmy for original composition this year.
