Given that almost a month has past since Rangers has aired I believe it is fair to say that the average rating for Rangers was not enough to derail negotiations for a series (We would have heard from JMS had the project immediatly fell through). However I'm sure the give and take between Warner...

If the ratings reports from JMS and the actors are accurate they reveal an odd pattern in the ratings. Essentially Rangers fails in the east and succeeds in the west. So why is that? Could it be that there is something about the West coast and Rangers that works well together? Perhaps the...

At no point did I say you are not allowed your opinion. However it is just that, an opinion. It is based on limited knowledge as is mine. However I am willing to admit that. Furthermore, our own website came to that conclusion based on comments of JMS that are included at that site. JMS has...

I don't get annoyed with your analytic nature because it is not very analytic. I do find alot of what is being done here akin to the proverbial apples and oranges. To analyse the Eagle/Bear game vs Stargate would require a quarter hour breakdown as well as demographics. This is information we...

Actually its not very interesting. This was the cable premiere of "5th Element" and was advertised as such. I rarely watch SFC and even I knew about that. Furthermore it was up against a wildcard game that garnered only about a 14.0 rating (as opposed to the Patriot game that got a 29.0...

I imagine that the 0.9 rating was for the 2nd (11 PM est) airing of Rangers. This could be interesting depending on what part of the country contributed to this rating. If the Nielsen geographical break down shows that the 0.9 came mostly from the eastern feed then that could be a nice thing...

Actually, I believe things are looking very well for Rangers. It is safe to think that negotiations are taking place. Had SFC dismissed Rangers right from the start (Jan. 22) we would have heard about it through JMS. This has not happened. What I think is happening is that SFC is looking...

We will not get a response from SFC. The most anyone of us will get is a postcard acknowledgment from USA network. This does not mean that they don't hear what we are saying. In fact I wager that Save Crusade letters to SFC as well as good ratings on the B5 reruns contributed to the creation...

That is mighty cryptic of you. ------------------

This is from an interview done with JMS. It is what we would have gotten with Crusade. JMS: “End of the Line” is one of two scripts that act as bookends. That one was the season finale, and the other one (“To the Ends of the Earth”) would upped the ante midway through the season. We discover...

Being that production on a possible Rangers series was supposed to go ahead either in Feb. or March I would imagine that we will get our answer soon enough. This is why sending letters to SFC and the sponsors immediatly is important. ------------------

I know the Farscape ratings pretty well from having checked the top ten rated SFC programs for the last 2 years. The show usually scores anywhere between a 1.2 and a 1.5. There is the occasional hiccup though. For example last season one episode actually got a 1.9. However the ratings seem...

There is an interesting way to look at the Rangers ratings. It may be accurate to see the east coast rating as a measure of the hardcore B5 fan. The West Coast rating reflects the casual viewer who tuned in to see what the promotion was about and if the movie was entertaining. If this is so...

Just a point of information Farscape usually gets around a 1.4 or 1.5 rating. It is considered a major hit. Stargate usually gets in the high twos. However one can't compare to Stargate because unlike Farscape or Rangers, it is a syndicated show. If Rangers got a 1.7 with every episode it...

I almost dread saying this... but here it goes. An ad in a major publication could create awareness and even publicity. However ads are very costly. It cost the Crusade campaign approximately $6000 to place a full page B&W ad in "Variety" magazine and another $1000 to place an ad in "Sci Fi...

Bingo!! This is exactly what I mean. If you folks want to see Rangers survive then this site is going to have to take on a different look. All information pertinent to the survival of Rangers must be presented up front. It must be clearly labeled. Also the situation must be made clear to...
