Legend of the Seeker Returns	Transporter: The Series	Login to vote
legend of the seeker returns friday january 9, 2009 jessica marais guest stars as denna alongside craig horner, who portrays richard, in "denna," this weekend's episode of legend of the seeker. after a month of reruns, the first of four new episodes of legend of the seeker will be shown this weekend, as pundits try to figure out for the first time in years how to measure the ratings success of a syndicated action/fantasy series. in its first week on the air at the very beginning of november, disney-abc's legend of the seeker scored a 2.9 rating (live plus same day household), with more than 4.1 million viewers tuning in the for the two-hour premiere. that was half-again as much as the premiere rating of syndication's last major first-run action hour, she spies, which debuted at a 1.9 in 2002. (xena: warrior princess, the last major action/fantasy series, went off the air in 2001.) by december, legend had slid down to more mundane levels, with ratings 2.1 and 1.9 its last two first-run episodes before hiatus. then in the week ending dec. 21, legend scored its highest ratings since its two-hour premiere--with a repeat. legend's encore "destiny," the bottom half of the series premiere, hit a 2.2 rating. so far, then, legend seems to performing okay, particularly for a show that's not on in all markets and lacks star-power names. for comparison, sci-fi syndies mutant x (2001-2004) and andromeda (2000-2005) were performing similarly, around a 2.0, late in their runs (fall 2003), though individual episodes might dip lower. more importantly, the show is, relatively speaking, well-enough made that it's likely to slowly build viewership over the balance of its freshman season. the effects are fine, there have been some interesting guest stars, and the crucial balance between veteran actor bruce spence and newcomer craig horner (who's still a little green but seems to be finding his feet) just carries the show. it's not brilliant television by any means, and it's more serious and less campy than xena, hercules, beastmaster, and its other direct ancestors. but if you haven't seen it it may be worth tuning in, to see if you go for its brand of whimsical fantasy drama. star bridget regan, meanwhile, said recently she's happy to be playing a role that's more demanding than she's used to. "it's amazing to play a character where i've literally had to transform who i am as a person, where i had to do more then blow dry my hair for an audition," regan told h magazine. source: http://scifi.about.com/b/2009/01/09/legend-of-the-seeker-returns.htm
