What were the ratings for TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise?

Post by Yukaphile »

I mean in terms of actual people watching, so and so million, not 9.5 or whatever. Is there a place I can go to find out?

Fall 1989 - Spring 1990: 9.77 Million

I thought TNG began with 27 million and ended with 30 million viewers?

I'm guessing that those are just for the debut episode and finale episode. While during any given week only a few million watched. which makes sense.

Don't ask me. I just regurgitate what the internet says.
