Sanctuary (Syfy): Ratings Recap

Syfy's 'Sanctuary' premiered October 3, 2008 to a strong 0.8 adults 18-49 rating and 2.72 million viewers, but fell to just under 2 million viewers in its second week and averaged about the same throughout its first season. A second season premiered in fall 2009, but declined more than a tenth in the demo and to about 1.5 million viewers on-average. The third season premiered in fall 2010 and initially pulled similar numbers to the second season, but ratings tumbled after an ill-fated move to Monday nights in spring 2011 - falling as low as 656,000. The show returned to Friday nights for its final season in fall 2011 and averaged slightly better in 18-49 & viewers.

Weekly Nielsen Top 10 Ratings (1950-1959)

UPDATED 2023 WITH MISSING OCTOBER 4, 1959

Below is an index of nearly every Nielsen Top 10 TV ratings list from the 1950s. The first TV ratings ever released by Nielsen were for the month of March 1950 and Nielsen continued releasing data at a monthly cadence (though 2 weeks out of the month were measured) until September 1950 when they switched to releasing data bimonthly based on 2 weeks of viewing. At this time, Nielsen had 4 weeks per year that were considered "black weeks" where they did not release any data (more on "black weeks" can be found here). This is a nearly complete index of the top 10 weekly primetime programs with only 4 releases missing out of 230.
