SCIFI Wire talked about how well the show is doing ratings wise.
Warehouse 13 continues to set rating records for Syfy. The show’s sixth episode, “Burnout,” which aired on Aug. 11, was the most watched series telecast in the network’s 17-year history, with a total viewership of 4.4 million.
The previous record for the most-watched series telecast on Syfy had been the fifth episode of Warehouse 13, aired the previous week.
More than 1 million of the 4.4 million total viewership came via DVR playback.
The six episodes of Warehouse 13 broadcast to that date, including full Live + 7 DVR data, all rank in the top 10 most watched series telecasts ever on Syfy.
In head-to-head competition in the 9 p.m. (ET/PT) time slot, Warehouse 13 outperformed TNT’s Hawthorne by +24 percent in Adults 25-54, +11 percent in total viewers, and +9 percent in Adults 18-49.
They are not exactly up against some stiff competition. If this was a Fall show going up against FlashForward, Heroes, Lost, etc. it probably would do very poorly. Its placed very well, given the fact that this show, if it as put on regular broadcast, say on Friday night? It would end up in last place. I mean, if I had to choose on Friday night–its not much of a contest for me, its Friday Night Lights all the way. Its the best show on television, duh.
