Сколько человек посмотрело первый эпизод «Звёздные врата SG-1»?
The American subscription channel Showtime ordered the first two seasons of "Stargate SG-1" with 44 episodes total in 1996. The two-hour pilot episode received Showtime's highest-ever ratings for a series premiere with an audience of approximately 1.5 million households in the 8 p.m. Sunday slot of July 27, 1997. According to the "SG-1" producers, a broadcast network would have cancelled "SG-1" after a few episodes, but Showtime put no pressure on the show to "deliver the meteoric ratings the way network shows do". The show was consistently the channel's most-watched program (including theatrical movies), so Showtime ordered a third and fourth season of 22 episodes each in July 1998.
