The second season of “Battlestar Galactica” kicked off with a bang Friday, garnering the Sci Fi Channel show’s highest ratings to date. “Battlestar Galactica,” which attracted just over 3 million viewers, was the No. 1 basic cable show for adults age 18 to 49, and the No. 1 overall show among men age 18 to 49, beating out all network and cable competition in that key demographic.
Sci Fi Channel’s other Friday offerings, “Stargate Atlantis” and “Stargate SG-1,” which added Beau Bridges and “Farscape” star Ben Browder to the cast, also saw growth. “SG-1,” which began its ninth season Friday, pulled in 2.6 million viewers. “Atlantis” snared almost 2.8 million viewers.
