BlackGeekdom Science-Fiction from a Different Perspective

We recently ran a list of Top 10 Canceled shows and according to the networks,  ratings (or to be more specific low ratings) were the primary reason for canceling a show.   Since these shows live and die by their ratings, I thought it would be interesting to track how our favorite genre shows are doing this fall,  so we can see who maybe on the way out.  The highest ranked genre show this week is Heroes at #17 .    For fans of shows like Reaper you may want to start last rites because I don’t think it will be around much longer.    Theses numbers are for the season to date.   I plan on posting the weekly numbers  so stay tuned.   I have highlighted the genre shows in bold.
