Out of 88 shows on television for the week of November 6, 1994,
Nielsen rated Earth 2 in 8th place for that week, just behind the ER
premiere. It is interesting to note that the show in very last place
is The X-Files, which has become a sucessful hit and is entering
it's 8th season.
NBC got its best non-sports Sunday 7-9 p.m. rating in nearly seven
years from the premiere of "Earth 2."
The makeup for the Terrians and Grendlers was designed by Oscar
winner Greg Cannom, of Cannom Creations. The company also did "Mrs.
Doubtfire," "The Mask," "Bram Stoker's Dracula,"
"Hook," and "Cocoon."
NBC, with Chrysler as sponsor, created a mini-program of Earth
2 that played in-flight on United Airlines' domestic and international
flights.
