   Congrats Alphas. Well done.

   Keep that up for a Season 3.

   1.76 million for Alphas is fantastic, alongside that 0.5 too. Not looking so dead after all.

   Warehouse 13 is pretty much safe, not worth commenting on.

   Holy Cow, Love and Hip Hop Atlanta is a beast, I cant remember when a vh1 show has hit that many viewers. Single Ladies really benefits from that lead in. RHONY is finally picking up some steam, that’s a season high, I expect it to go higher for the last 2 parts of the trip.

   Season highs for LHH-ATL and for Single Ladies. Single Ladies does about as well as any scripted hour on basic cable. Big big hidden story.

   Any numbers for MTV’s The Inbetweeners? I really wish people would give the show a chance. It’s actually quite good!

   Wow Alphas and W13 really flopping in the demo. Summer Glau seems to have added a few older viewers to Alphas.

   Not really. The Syfy network looks at the 25-54 demo too.

   I wonder if Single Ladies would bomb without the amazing lead-in they had all season.

   Nice improvement for Major Crimes, up from last week in viewers. Well deserved for a very good episode. Woo hoo!! Warehouse hanging in there!! YAY!!

    W13 used to get 0.8-1.0. SYFY is doing badly in the demo when its No.1 show is dropping hard.

    Warehouse 13 started off well with a 0.9 yes, dropped to a 0.8, then eventually came down between 0.7-0.6 for most of last season.

    This season it has been getting around 0.6 for most episodes. Just because it has gone down to a 0.5 doesn’t mean it suddenly is going to die.

    The total viewers is good, the 18-49 good, the 25-54 is good too.

    You don’t need to compare older seasons to judge if a show will be renewed, as long as it hits targets, a show will come back.

    Just saying, how the show performed for its 1st, 2nd and 3rd seasons is entirely irrelivant.

    Also please don’t tell me you think network heads sit around thinking ‘Oh god x show isn’t getting the same numbers as Season 1 and 3, cancel cancel cancel’ ‘Get it off the air quickly’.

    I hope not. No network does that. Good ratings get you renewed and nothing more.

    W13 has lost half its audience since the season began. It must be troubling to syfy to have so many low performers. I know it will be renewed but Syfy wont like these numbers.

    @ John A. Alphas opened Season 2 with a 0.6 /1.75 and plummeted after that. Last week Alphas was at 0.5/1.38. This week 0.5/1.72. Considering the boost in viewers, the difference between a 0.5 and a 0.6 is negligible. That rebound in viewership is no accident. I predicted that Summer Glau would bring in additional viewers and that’s clearly what happened. The show won’t do better this season, so Syfy will likely be happy with the results.

    @John A

    Half its audience, what? Are you for real?

    Season 3 Premiere: 2.34 million
    Season 4 Premiere: 2.14 million

    Season 3 Episode 4: 2.25 million
    Season 4 Episode 4: 1.56 million

    Season 3 Finale(Xmas Special): 1.58 million
    Season 4 Final Episode: To be decided.

    I’m no math wiz but that doesn’t look like half an audience. Comparing numbers is almost like you’re grasping at straws trying to justify some reason to hate the network. I would put you down as a troll but even then you’re not doing a good job backing up your points.

    The Inbetweeners has been DOA for MTV. Not that its necessarily a bad show but because MTV has been marketing the show towards male viewers and clearly there not interested and the lack of physical attraction towards the guys on the show are making the females not even tune in. MTV should just cancel it and call it a day.

    RHONYC is no RHONJ….3.1 mil to 1.8 mil is bad

    Alphas seems in a better shape than some weeks ago, might get season 3! Which is really good

    No scripted series on SyFy is a huge hit..they have there small loyal following but renewals in my opinion aren’t so black and white and arent based solely on ratings alone.

    Damn VH1 is a beast on Mondays.

    Secret Life had a decent gain for its summer finale.
