Being pleasantly barely not American shouldn't be no guarantee of hotness, but amazingly so, as a constant rule it's holding true.

Missed part one Dec 6 Missed again early Dec 7 evening. The Guide on cable doesn't indicate which segments Dec 7 evening through Dec 8 early AM are part one and which are part two. Tuned in at 2300 EST to hear "previously on Alice....".
What are they doing, repeating part two three times in a row?
I said "To he" double hockey sticks " with it" and decided not to bother with it any more.

They want the miniseries to get horrible ratings so they don't have greenlight an actual series.
The ratings (final numbers):
Part 1: 2.454 million viewers (1.5/2 HH and 1.0/3 A18-49)
Part 2: 2.118 million viewers (1.3/2 HH and 0.9/2 A18-49)
Those are fairly decent numbers by Syfy standards, but any hope they had of duplicating the huge success of Tin Man (the first part of which remains the highest rated telecast in the channel's history to date) didn't come to fruition. Tin Man drew 6.3 million viewers for its first part, 4.4 million for its second, and 5.1 million for its third.
For comparison purposes here are the ratings for AMC's The Prisoner:
First night: 2.219 million viewers (1.4/2 HH and 0.8/2 A18-49)
Second night: 0.948 million viewers (0.7/1 HH and 0.3.1 A18-49)
Third night: 0.947 million viewers (0.6/1 HH and 0.3/1 A18-49)
Edit to add: I came across the audience for some of Syfy's past December event miniseries:
Tin Man (2007) - Averaged 5.3 million viewers.
Taken (2002) - Averaged 5 million viewers.
Frank Herbert's Dune (2000) - Averaged 4.6 million viewers (Children of Dune, aired in March 2003, averaged 2.7 million viewers).
Battlestar Galactica (2003) - Averaged 4.2 million viewers.
The Lost Room (2006) - 2.1 million viewers for its first part.

I thought the second part seemed better than the first. Mind you, I was really tired when part one was on but that was my impression.
I'm really surprised they didn't make a series out of Tin Man. Those ratings beat the BSG miniseries! It might have been cool to have a Wizard of Oz tv series.
I found the audience numbers for the other two December event minis:
The Triangle (2005) - Averaged 4.2 million viewers.
Earthsea (2004) - Averaged 3.7 million viewers.
Although it's not a disastrous performance, Syfy must be very disappointed with the ratings for Alice. They obviously had high hopes for it and didn't expect it to end up being their second lowest rated December mini to date.

Have you seen that wry smile of Zooey Deschanel looking through people like they're on crack?
You forgive a lot for that "girl nextdoor" girl.
I'm a whore for the worst TV, but I didn't tune in for the second episode of Tinman, but it did make me crestlorne for Return to Oz... Whent he Hell are they going to do something with Wicked is my quest?

There was talk about making a Tim Man show, don't know what happened to that.
Alice sucked, and so did Tin Man in my PoV.
Alice was only better because it was shorter, but the whole thing should have been a SyFy Saturday Night movie.
Isn't that what The Lost Boys was supposed to be?
^Huh? The Lost Boys was a 1987 Joel Schumacher film about teenage vampires. Or the midseason finale of Stargate Atlantis's second season. Is it possible you're misremembering the SciFi Channel miniseries The Lost Room, which had nothing remotely to do with Peter Pan but was vaguely similar to Warehouse 13 in that it was driven by the hunt for artifacts with mystical powers?
I would have watched it for the cast and the visual aesthetic alone.
