Ghost Hunters isn't just big in total viewers, it does well with adults 18-49, too. It was the #16 show on ad supported cable with adults 18-49 (edged out in that category by the premiere of Sponge Bob Truth Or Square which was #15).
I've played the Stargate Universe card once or twice in the last couple of days already, but feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

What happened to Scare Tactics? It was over 1.6 million two weeks ago and almost 1.55 million last week. I guess Syfy as a whole experienced a bit of a post-October hangover. All of their shows are down.
Nick, yeah it went down and I went back to including only 10 shows this week…
I am still wondering what the +7 DVR numbers are for universe. TPTB keep saying that all of the falling live numbers are being made up by DVR numbers. So, where are they???
Morena, I only saw them for the premiere and second episode. Here’s the most recent (2nd episode)

Thanks Robert!!!! Do you know if/when the other weeks will be released?
I keep hearing the SGU numbers are much better with Live+. I’m hearing that it’s hitting 2M total on Live+7. So it’s likely a good show to watch (it is good to watch btw) beyond Friday nights.
NONE of the episodes I have seen have been any good. But, it would be interesting to see what the ACTUAL DVR numbers are. I’ve never been much for rumors. Thanks
Robert, can you help?
Ghost Hunters continues to dominate, hope Academy will to it was pretty good.
