Get it? Splash? “Riverworld”? Ahem.
If our “Riverworld” review comments section is any indication, most of the 2.1 million viewers that tuned into the SyFy Channel’s premiere of “Riverworld” didn’t like what they saw, but they nevertheless helped the channel to its highest Sunday night rating for the year.
The “Riverworld” premiere on April 18th netted 2.1 million in total viewers, with an averaged 1.03 million adults 25-54 and 733,000 adults 18-49 along with a 1.6 household rating.
Needless to say, SyFy is very happy. Now the question is: were they happy enough with the ratings to greenlight a series? Or, more importantly, do viewers actually want one?
