   0.5 for Lost Girl is great. Matching Syfy original programing on friday night is great.

   Nice to see people supporting Lost Girl more. Every week the numbers slowly grow.

   Nice numbers for Lost Girl, definitely earned that renewal. I love these cheaper canadian imports that Syfy gets, really good shows but at a lower budget which means they can get lower ratings and still be renewed.

   Can’t wait to see what Continuum gets when it premieres.

   I know Continuum, Defiance, Sinbad and the second half of this season of Warehouse 13 premieres in April 2013 and that makes it obvious that one of those shows will be on on Fridays. I hope they put Sinbad on Fridays so Continuum can get a better chance at success.

   I could see Defiance, Warehouse 13 and then Continuum in that order.

   No point using Warehouse 13 as a lead-in to Defiance as a). it doesn’t need it as it is probably gonna be really big, maybe even bigger than w13s first season, and b). it is not strong enough to be used as a lead-in anymore.

   I hope though that this means that Alphas will still be renewed as I could easily see it being partnered with Being Human and keeping Lost Girl on Fridays where it is much stronger. All of these premiere in early January 2013 and then by the time these are over the other 4 shows can premiere in mid April 2013.

   @Martin

   Showcase renewed Lost Girl, not Syfy. Syfy picked up the third season of the show from Showcase. See here

   Continuum, which has a 2nd season in production is in the same position as Lost Girl. Both these shows are renewed on the strength of their Canadian performance alone.

   I knew Disney wouldnt do so well this week. It was a weak night. Kudos to Gravity Falls who at least progressed overtime

   Pretty good numbers for Ghost Adventures on Travel Channel. We hardly see any shows from Travel Channel make the cable top 100.

    Boss is always steady at a little under 400,000 viewers.
    Hope it gets one more season.

    XIII is the best show on Fridays that no one’s watching..Guess people don’t know about it or they don’t have the Reelz channel?

    anyone have the ratings for “Cheer” on CMT Friday?

    Friday’s episode of Strike Back was another excellent episode. This show is, next to Nikita, the best action show on the air. And certainly the one with the most shooting by far! And a lot of hot babes!

    Azzman: Is the XIII you’re referring to the original mini-series, or the series called “XIII: The Series”? If so, it’s a rerun.

    But I agree, it was a pretty good series, similar to, if not as intense, as “24″. If you like it, you should watch Strike Back, which is better.
