'Caprica' premiere pulls in 1.6 million

Caprica made a fair premiere on Syfy Friday night, the latest viewing figures show.

The pilot episode drew 1.6 million viewers despite being up against Hope For Haiti Now, which screened across more than 50 networks.

The premiere failed to beat that of Stargate Universe, which grabbed 2.4 million last Fall, but held up well considering the pilot episode has been available on DVD and download since April 21, 2009.
