    Just been on the Sci-fi.com site and found a list of SF channels viewing figures. Lexx doesnt even feature on the top ten. I’d heard that Lexx used to get figures just slightly behind Farscapes! Whats going on?

    The X-Files 5.0
    Dark Angel 4.0
    Buffy 3.3
    Smallville 2.4
    Enterprise 2.3
    Sabrina 2.2
    Charmed 2.0
    Angel 1.7
    Mysterious Ways (Tue) 0.8
    Mysterious Ways (Sun) 0.6

    Don’t panic yet. The fine print at the bottom of the list says that the dates covered are 1/7/02-1/13/02, which is before the new Lexx episodes began to be shown (Sci-Fi was only showing reruns at the ungodly hour of Monday at 2:00 a.m.)

    I have wondered what the latest ratings are, though. Anyone know?

    not only that but those are not SCIFI CHANNEL shows. Those are NETWORK shows.
    Scifi.com shows three categories of scifi ratings; network, syndicated, scifi channel

    Sci Fi Channel’s ratings top ten are
    posted on monday. They’re usually about
    two weeks old.

    Generally, the top ten ranges from around
    1.6 down as low as 0.7. Lexx tends to
    average around 1.1 to 1.0.

    LEXX will be next week. The Chronicle which normally got 1.2 on Saturday nights, is being cancelled. Scifi may be dropping shows
    which don’t pull a 1.0 or better in their Friday Prime slot. Here’s a list of past and current prime shows.

    Black Scorpian- Ratings FAILURE! dropped mid season, Thank-you scifi
    Jules Vern- Was to have a second season. Reruns were to start 9/17, the previous Tuesday changed that, not renewed
    Farscape- ending 3rd season startign 4th season in April, bought through 5th season
    LEXX- last season, ends in April
    First Wave- poor ratings, and the producers wanted to end it. Finished in the summer
    Outer Limits- season ended, I believe it will be back fo another season
    SG1- Starts final season in June
    The Chronicle- Good ratings on Sat, alright ratings on Fri, cancelled, fianle in April
    Iman- poor writing in 2nd season lead to poor ratings, last episode just aired
    Strange World- sucks imo, just aired ratings unknown
    New Battlestar galactica- starts in fall(?) concurrent airings with partner FOX

    Up in the air
    B5:LotR despite dissapointing ratings, evidence indicates it may happen
    LEXX spinoff (?)
    I’ve also heard rumors for a few other shows, I can’t remeber any names right now. Some shows may be soinoffs of Outer Limits episodes
