Tin Man Doing Wonders
By fred | December 6, 2007
I reported already that the premiere of Tin Man, SciFi’s latest version of The Wizard Of Oz, had done very well - and the second and third part of the miniseries followed the same way.
Overall, Tin Man averaged a 5.3 million total viewers, better than Steven Spielberg’s Taken (5.0 million) or Dune (4.6 million), and made SciFi the number one in prime time (8.00-11.00) among all entertainment cable networks for all three nights of its broadcast.
Part 1 was SciFi’s most watched program in viewers (6.4 million) as well as in both its key demo (25-54 and 19-49), in which it even outperformed CBS and Fox ! It was the top entertainment telecast in cable on the 25-54 demo since Disney’s High School Musical 2 in August 2007.
Part 2 drew a record-breaking audience and even surpassed the special two-hour episode of The Closer in both 25-54 and 18-49 demos.
Part 3 delivered over 5 million total viewers and was the first cable program of the day on the same 25-54 and 18-49 demos.
Needless to say, this miniseries was to be a great success for SciFi. If you missed it, SciFi will rerun all three parts back to back on Sunday, December 9th at 5.00.
