‘Warehouse 13′ and ‘Eureka’ Big Hits for Syfy
Warehouse 13 and Eureka Syfy's two most popular shows
The first season of Warehouse 13 has run its course and the third season of Eureka has also wrapped up, completing the latest run on what have become the two most popular series on Syfy.
It seems Syfy’s odd approach of restricting their promotion of both series paid off. Whilst most networks allow promotional trailers of their shows to appear on video networks including YouTube, trailers for Warehouse 13 and Eureka were not made available by any source other than Syfy’s own video site, with each promo being immediately removed once broadcast. Syfy’s decision made it difficult for bloggers to promote the shows, but clearly that didn’t impact ratings.
Eureka’s third season was its most popular yet, averaging 3.2 million viewers every week. Nine episodes of its latest season now sit in the list of the ten most watched episodes of Eureka ever.
Warehouse 13 stole some of Eureka’s glory by becoming the most popular series ever to air on Syfy in its 17 year history. It’s first season averaged 4 million viewers an episode whilst it’s season finale was the #1 cable program in its 9PM (ET/PT) timeslot.
Both show’s will return next year with all new episodes.
