Ratings Discussion Thread

[HerpDerp]

So, after months of promotion and anticipation, the show has finally premiered.
Nick is really relying on this show pulling big numbers, particularly in K6-11 and K12-17, where they've seen a steep drop in viewers over the last year or so.
What are your predictions?
For some perspective, Korra premiered to around 4.5mil viewers earlier this year. It didn't have anywhere near the level of promotion as TMNT, however, it was also highly anticipated and had the advantage of being a spin-off of an already successful Nick show with a large fanbase (Avatar).
Do you think TMNT will top that?


I will be posting the ratings in this thread as they become available, BTW.

[CyberCubed]

It'll be interested to see how good the Friday preview episode did too..

[Donatello19]

I think this will be WAY more successful than Korra. I can't wait to see the ratings

[shezcrafti]

Not that this is scientific or fact-based information in any way, but I checked in with my boyfriend's niece and nephew who are 7 and 9 and they were both extremely excited about this show. The boy in particular was saying how much he loves Ninja Turtles before this premiere happened (he's never seen any version of Turtles in his life, lol). Then there's my co-worker who has 2 girls aged 6 and 7 who have been talking this show up and I know they were both watching this morning.

From the pulse-read I've taken on the kids I know, it seems like NickTurtles is definitely on their radar.

Update -- I saw these kids again this past weekend and showed them my 11" Nick TMNT figures. They went freaking bananas over them! We all re-watched the first 2 eps together while we played with our toys. I had to apologize to their parents because now all they want for Christmas is Ninja Turtle stuff.

[Scud]

I would love to hear what the ratings were.

I pvr'd the hour show and watched it over lunch with my son(6) and daughter(3). We all loved it.

[Heather Breckel]

I expect it to be at least as successful as Korra. The main disadvantage Korra had was it really helped to have seen Avatar:TLA first to fully enjoy it. TMNT might have the advantage there as they're starting fresh with this series. There's not many *good* action shows directed towards children these days so I expect it to do very well.

[HerpDerp]

Friday night cable ratings are in:

The "Rise of the Turtles" preview got 2.295 million viewers. Not bad considering it had absolutely zero promotion.

[Coro]

I hate to admit this on The Technodrome, but Avatar TLA was by far the best cartoon I have ever watched. The story and character development was unparallelled. A cartoon that can make you audibly gasp one minute, cry the next, and still laugh every episode really says something about any show, and for a cartoon its just mind boggling.

That being said, I have always been a Turtle fan and my 10y/o daughter seems to be into it. She seems to have the same excitement as when we watched Korra, and she DVRd it, but it was for me. We'll see where her excitement is in a few weeks.

[MrTMNT2012]

And that was just the advance preview! I'm predicting Saturdays Premiere is gonna have around 4 Million. Fingers crossed because it really deserves 10 million.

The "Rise of the Turtles" preview got 2.295 million viewers. Not bad considering it had absolutely zero promotion.

Excellent! But we need to know how many users watched the premiere on saturday because it was advertised so much!

[Donatello19]

So is that a good rating? better than 4kids?

[Ninja Tiptup]

That's hard to gauge. It's possible the 4Kids series broke 2 million at some point in it's run on Saturday mornings and Cartoon Network. Being on network television should have made that an easy task to accomplish but because TMNT 2003 started when Saturday morning ratings on network television were dropping dramatically it may have never even managed 2 million total viewers.

The 2003 cartoon may have actually done better when it was on Cartoon Network. I'll poke around on some ratings sites and such for some kind of comparison but we wont know the kid's ratings for TMNT until later this week or whenever Nick puts out a PR about them and I imagine they will if it did well.

Edit: Here's what I've found so far

The earliest info I can find at the moment is the 2003 series in 2006 was getting 1.3 with kids 6-11 (roughly 300,000 viewers 6-11). That's chump change to Nickelodeon. I wish I could find some 2003 or at least 2004 info when the 4Kids series was doing a lot better than that, at least in theory. There 2 hour Miguzi block ratings from CN back in April of 2004 averaged about 600,000 kids 6-11 (a rating of 2.6). Ratings ratios differ per demographic and we are only seeing the total viewer numbers for Nick TMNT so far and the ratings info for the 2003 show was mostly just for 6-11 but IMO it's the 6-11 that we need to see for Nick TMNT to gauge how well it is doing in comparison. I would be shocked to see TMNT get less than 1.5 million 6-11 and probably about 3 million total viewers.

Second Edit: More ratings

http://www.thefutoncritic.com/ratings/2005/02/01/cartoon-network-rockets-to-best-ever-january-ratings-delivery-performance-in-both-prime-and-kids-total-day-across-all-target-demos--17750/20050201cartoon01/
In January of 2005 the Miguzi average was up to around 700,000 kids 6-11 and the 2-11 was above 1 million so the total viewer ratings for TMNT was assuredly above 1 million but maybe not even 2 million.

Third Edit: Finally something from the FOX BOX premiere ratings

http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/tmnt-ratings.34715212/

3.6 with 9-14 boys and a 1.0 with 9-14 boys is only about 120,000 so it got about 430,000 boys 9-14 on it's premiere. The 6-11 kids ratings were likely close to 1 million. These may not be the best ratings the 2003 series ever got but if it's any indication the Nick show is already off to a better start.

[pannoni1]

Here is some ratings information with relation to the OT:

-Season 4 was #1 overall for that season. This article from 1990 shows how both half-hours are #1 not just for the time slot, but Saturday Morning Overall:
http://newspaperarchive.com/santa-fe-new-mexican/1990-11-26/page-10/

-Season 5 had a 7.3 rating overall and a 26 share overall.

-On May 14, 1994 well into Season 7 reruns, the second half of TMNT had dropped to a 3.2 rating and a 12 share, in third place behind FOX and ABC.

This of course was before the Internet and Smartphones changed viewing habits. I'd wish DVR could count towards ratings. Still, as long as it has better ratings than 4kids, this show should last for awhile, though toy sales are another key factor, since good promotion could lead to a boost of viewership around the winter holidays to catch up on some reruns.

[HerpDerp]

Saturday premiere got 3.917 million viewers:

[MrTMNT2012]

So is this good enough for Nick or what?

[shezcrafti]

Wow! #7 overall? The only thing above it is sports. I know nothing about ratings, but that sounds...very good. Yes?

[HerpDerp]

3.9 is good, but I expected it to do a lot better. It only got about 10% more viewers than the SpongeBob repeat preceding it.
Still, if it can hold on to enough of those viewers (there's usually a drop after the premiere) it should still be a strong performer for Nick. Maybe not as strong as Korra, but hopefully more consistent and longer-lasting (Korra was a bit unpredictable ratings-wise and also wasn't that strong in key demos - it skewed more to an adult audience).
Bear in mind that it's not the total viewers that will decide this show's success, but it's performance in kid demos, since that's what matters most to Nick. I'll post those numbers when they become available later this week. :)

[CyberCubed]

Keep in mind the episodes are on itunes, and Nick even streamed them on their own website.

Ratings don't matter as much now that the episodes are available to watch elsewhere, and remember Nick still gets revenue from the itune purchases or the hits from their website.

[Ninja Tiptup]

Ratings still matter a ton but also remember TMNT is not just a cartoon and the toys are going to make Viacom plenty of money.

The Legend of Korra scored 4.548 million on it's premiere back in Spring but is there any question which action franchise will make Viacom more money?

And going by what I found for ratings of the 2003 series Nick's series looks to be starting off with much higher ratings considering that pulled in a mere 343,000ish boys 9-14 and likely only about 1 million total viewers on network television. I expect it got over a million total viewers at some point maybe 2 million but probably not 3 million on FOX, The CW or Cartoon Network at any point.

Nearly 4 million viewers is a promising start. Television is a very different beast these days so 7 million would have been incredibly difficult to get. I believe the Phineas and Ferb movie got that but it was a rare case.

Without a doubt TMNT claimed the top ratings for similar programs. It obliterated DC Nation, Star Wars and Ben 10 on Cartoon Network much less anything on Disney XD. The Turtles just came back to show those Lego's, Naruto and Randy Cunningham what a real ninja can do.

And yes I'd say they're satisfied with the results. We just got 26 more episodes ordered!

[HerpDerp]

Yeah, as it says in the press release Tiptup posted, the premiere did well where it needed to (with kids).

Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello – aka the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – made a triumphant return to television in their new Nickelodeon series premiere this weekend (Saturday, Sept. 29, at 11 a.m., ET/PT), ranking as the week’s top telecast with kids 2-11 (6.2/2.1 million) and boys 6-11 (8.2/837,000) across broadcast and cable TV, and the number-one kids program on basic cable with total viewers (drawing 3.9 million) for the week. Additionally, the new CG-animated version of the series hit a ratings high for Nickelodeon with boys 2-11 (7.5/1.3 million), and was the network’s top-rated premiere for an animated series since 2009. During its premiere weekend the series reached nearly 12 million total viewers.

This is all obviously correct! Though I'm kinda surprised it beat TCW, being alot of kids are watching that every week. (even teens like me too!) I wonder what TCW's ratings were starting out.

I new the turtles would hit big, they always do! (Well, except Next Mutation, but.... let's not get into it that.)

So has anyone found the ratings for Turtle Temper?

[Zulithe]

Count me as one of the people who do not watch it on cable/sat, I buy on iTunes. A lot of people go that route now. Cutting cables. You can get all your shows on hulu, netflix, amazon and itunes very easily. only thing that is really difficult is HBO shows, but my roomate has HBOGo so I just use that :p

Nick and other networks take these purchases into account, too. They are fully aware of the changes in people's viewing habits. Straight up ratings do not mean much now, but to see a strong rating is still great.

If you want to support the nick show, set it to DVR the weekly premier if you can, and/or buy a season pass or pre-order the dvd/blu-rays! It all counts in their eyes.

The ratings for the new Nick show will always be out on Monday or the latest on Tuesday because it shows on Saturday. So Monday at around 5PM eastern time start looking out for it.

Won't get those until Tuesday. :)

Sooo anyone got the ratings for Episode 3 in yet? I'm predicting atleast 3 Million but we'll see :)

[HerpDerp]

The 11am repeat on Sunday got 2.172 million, but numbers for Saturday still aren't out. Expect them very soon, though. :)

[HerpDerp]

Saturday ratings:

-11 AM: 3.246 million viewers, 0.74 A18-49

[Ninja Tiptup]

3.2 million and a 0.74 with 18-49 is quite good.

The kids' ratings are the most important though. Hopefully they remain around as good or better than the premiere did.

Doesn't look like they're as good, unfortunately - TMNT didn't rank in the top 10 telecasts of the week with K6-11 or the top 4 with K2-11.

[Cipher]

3.9 is good, but I expected it to do a lot better. It only got about 10% more viewers than the SpongeBob repeat preceding it.
I know I'm a little late to the game here, but I just wanted to jump back to this. Comparing it to the slot before isn't the best indicator. That SpongeBob episode probably had its ratings elevated by airing before a big premiere.

Anyway, as huge as the numbers have been huge for a cable children's show, it's also important to remember that it's not only banking on ratings, but much more so the toys and merchandise it pushes. So we'd better hope kids are not only watching, but pestering their parents at Target on a regular basis.

[Ninja Tiptup]

This only came out on the 5th of October.

http://www.cynopsis.com/editions/kids/100512/

The chart that could include this week's episode wont be out until later this week.

Also 788,000 kids 2-5 is kind of insane. I hope the little ones didn't get nightmares from Snakeweed's mutation sequence.

I got that number by subtracting 1,307,000 (the 6-11 total) from the 2,095,000 (the 2-11 total).

For a show that so far airs only in 2 countries (US,UK) that number is good. If the show had started worldwide at the same time then the numbers would have been much higher i am sure for it. However Nickelodeon has said that they are pleased with the results so far and that is what matters. Also this number dont include the millions of people who downloaded the episodes from filesharing sites and watched them on their pc.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Also this number dont include the millions of people who downloaded the episodes from filesharing sites and watched them on their pc.

No, because that's piracy. Networks don't take the time to see how many times an episode has been downloaded off of PirateBay.

Those ratings are only for the US so if it aired in more countries that wouldn't benefit US ratings.

And if people want to actually support this show then piracy is a detriment to the cause.

You really think all the people at NYCC are responsible for the low ratings? How many people do you think are there??? :teek:

[CyberCubed]

Keep in mind the episodes are online (legally), and all the merchandizing plus Nick's investment should keep it around for at least 3-5 seasons.

We have nothing to worry about. I'd just like 7 seasons minimum like the 4kids series before it ends.

Not really worried about that, more worried about the fact not enough people are really appreciating these guys hard work by not even watching the show! The Show deserves more than this and this is in the early stages of the show...you know, the time when the show is supposed to hit big and 2.8 isn't really that big!

What ticks me off is that "New friend, Old Enemy" was the best episode as well so I really wanted more people to watch it!

Oh well...atleast we know the show is never gonna hit below 2 million so that's good but lets hope the rest of the series stays at 3 Million at least.:tgrin::tgrin:

[TheSkeletonMan939]

That's the way all shows go. People see the first episode or two to see if they like the show. If so, great, they'll keep watching. If not, they won't see it again. That's why ratings go down strting with episode 3 or so.

But ratings pick up again on the season finale always.

[Ninja Tiptup]

You really think all the people at NYCC are responsible for the low ratings? How many people do you think are there??? :teek:

Not only that but the adult ratings went up not down it's the other ratings that dropped and that likely has nothing to do with NYCC or the uploaded episodes. We still haven't seen the kid's ratings for Turtle Temper and we wont likely see the 6-11 ratings for the latest episode until at least Thursday.

[Donatello19]

Does anyone know the ratings for some of the first 2k3 episodes?

[MrTMNT2012]

Does anyone know the ratings for some of the first 2k3 episodes?

The 2K3 Series got like 1 million views each episode, with rare occasions it went over 2 million but never hitting 3 million (There were no evidence it hit 3 million)

and for the 2012 Series:

4.0 million (Rise of the Turtles)
3.3 Million (Turtle Temper)
2.8 Million (New friend, Old Enemy)
???? (I think his name is Baxter Stockman) If it stays at 3 million at least, then it will be a really big hit show!:tgrin::tsmile::tgrin:

I take it you're not a fan of The Simpsons. That show's been on the air since I was a kid!

[Zulithe]

girl vs. monster is killing it. wonder if that show is good?

TMNT is doing quite well... i don't care if it is #1 I just want it to rate well enough to go on for more than 3 or 4 seasons.

I doubt we'll get 10 seasons but personally I don't care, it's hard to drag a show like this out that long without having to resort to either huge changes to keep it fresh or gimmicks like what 4kids did with fast forward.

[raphfan84]

I hope the show does well and even if it does not Iam just thrilled to have Turtles back on tv and in stores! I was totally absent during the years 2k3 was on air I had just got out of high school the year before so was not much into the Turtles then. But I wish the new show all the best and I will be tuned in every Saturday morning!!!

[CyberCubed]

Its already confirmed to have at least 3 seasons, (they said new episodes committed through 2015, which gives us a Season 3), which would be 78 episodes total.

78 episodes is good, but not enough. I think the show needs to last at least 7 seasons.

It will last 7 seasons for sure. Nick wants it to become their most succesful show. To do that they must have more episodes than 1987 and 2003 cartoons had.

What does it means 3.1/14? 3.1 means 3.1 million? And from November the show starts in Europe so Nickelodeon must start releasing the ratings from Europe too and not only from U.S. What most imporant is how well it will do worldwide. It will be more succesful in some countries while in some others it will not be so popular but if there are more countries that it is succesful then there will not be any problems for it.

No, it doesn't mean 3.1 million, it's kind of complicated. Those numbers are called household/share.
3.1 means that 3.1% of households were watching the show, and 14 means 14% of kids K6-11 who were watching TV at that time were tuned into TMNT.

There isn't an exact time, but from past experience I'd predict within the next 5 hours.

I hope the show does well and even if it does not Iam just thrilled to have Turtles back on tv and in stores! I was totally absent during the years 2k3 was on air I had just got out of high school the year before so was not much into the Turtles then. But I wish the new show all the best and I will be tuned in every Saturday morning!!!

This is essentially what happened to me as well.

And it's one of the reasons why I am saddened at the lack of a full DVD release of the entire 2003 series.

[Drose18]

Great news! Is there any confirmation about them showing it more on weekdays? Didnt they say it will be stripped on nick in 2013? Also whats with the 10 hours of spongebob every day?

[HerpDerp]

Is there any confirmation about them showing it more on weekdays? Didnt they say it will be stripped on nick in 2013?

I do remember that being mentioned, but they won't start playing it regularly until they have enough episodes under their belt. One repeat a week is realistic at the moment because they can't just play the same handful of episodes over and over again.

Also whats with the 10 hours of spongebob every day?

SpongeBob is Nickelodeon's most successful show and the repeats get great ratings.

I see what you mean, Im sick of Rise of the Turtles.

SpongeBob is Nickelodeon's most successful show and the repeats get great ratings.

But they only show spongebob fairly odd parents and drake and josh! Why wont they at least put on other shows? Also didnt spongebobs rating decrease not to long ago?

[Drose18]

Its already confirmed to have at least 3 seasons, (they said new episodes committed through 2015, which gives us a Season 3), which would be 78 episodes total.

78 episodes is good, but not enough. I think the show needs to last at least 7 seasons.

The goal for TMNT shows is ten seasons. If they get anywhere near that I will be pleased.

I'm predicting "Metalhead" will be around 3.5 million!

Why does it always have to be some crack on Spongebob?

[HerpDerp]

Why does it always have to be some crack on Spongebob?

I know ... it's kind of getting on my nerves.
They're not in competition with each other; they're on the same network. :ohwell:

And "take that SpongeBob" doesn't make any sense, because SpongeBob did better.

[MrTMNT2012]

That's why I said it did better for the whole week. :[

Besides, Spongebob has turned to a crap show so who cares?

[Cure]

Besides, Spongebob has turned to a crap show so who cares?

Well, you do. You're the one who made it into some competition.

[In The Clouds]

TMNT is soooo much better than Twilight.

[CyberCubed]

You guys had better hope TMNT becomes as popular as Spongebob. If it does it'll likely be kept on the air for around 7 seasons.

If the show keeps up the current level of quality while increasing the storylines and recurring cast I would love to see this series his 200 total episodes.

I really hope you're making a joke.

Cybercubed is all about the weirdly specific season and episode numbers. It's what's normally called a 'brain thing'.

[CyberCubed]

7 seasons does seem to be the magic, and strangely specific number...:roll:

7 seasons is the standard run for a popular series.

It goes like this:

- 3 seasons means a successful series that ended either because of network execs or it reached the 65 episode run.

- 5 seasons is a show that was allowed to go on a bit longer than usual due to good ratings or toy sales.

- 7 seasons is a show that was incredibly popular and succcessful and allowed to go on for a long period of time

- 8 or more seasons is an insanely popular series that brings in huge merch sales like Pokemon, Power Rangers, or the original TMNT.

I'm sure there's some truth in all of that, but it seems like you just have some specific examples in mind (like the first thing I thought about was Arrested Development getting canceled after 3 seasons because Fox refused to get behind it) and just applying that to every show regardless of network, demographic, trends, etc. But hey, I don't really know how it all works, it just seems a little more complicated than you give it credit for...

[MrTMNT2012]

If they keep the same cast and the same designs (I'm looking at you Fast forward & Back to the sewers) Then I'd love to see 10 Seasons of this great Show!

The OT series had a good run but it got stale towards the final seasons, so it be really interesting to see how this show fairs in Quality in comparison to previous incarnations!

Awesome ratings. I can just taste those 7 seasons we're going to get.

And if we're really lucky it'll be the first TMNT show to hit 200 episodes.

Either way, Nickelodeon has a huge hit on their hands!

Kids do no differentiate different episodes. They either watch or they don't for various reasons, its not like they have any clue what an episode will be like before they see it.

Remember when you were a kid sometimes you couldn't watch cartoons because your parents took you somewhere on Saturday mornings, etc.

[MrTMNT2012]

Remember when you were a kid sometimes you couldn't watch cartoons because your parents took you somewhere on Saturday mornings, etc.

Yes but last Saturday's Episode had almost a million drop in viewers. This Saturday's (Now that I think about it) could get Even Less considering the amount of people that didn't think there would be Episode this Saturday and overall the premise for the Episode didn't sound all that intresting for some people. And thanksgiving could play a huge part in the decline in Viewers!

But we'll see....(Hoping atleast 3.5 Mil):tsmile:

[HerpDerp]

Last Saturday's episode, "The Gauntlet", got 2.801 million viewers.

I guess airing on Nick doesn't keep around the kids who watch Spongebob which is bizarre.

Are you Ok? Have you been smoking any.........crayons?

Gonna flip out?

Also I think paying close attention to the ratings and caring about the peaks and valleys is for the birds. It's just crazy making.

[Drose18]

Its probably low because its thanksgiving break and many kids are on vacation sooooooo.

[CyberCubed]

It's doing fine but probably not as well as Nick had hoped. Hopefully ratings remain stable and don't continue declining like the past weeks.

[Bauer536]

Interesting. This is what HerpDerp had to say,

Ratings for shows often go up and down and it normally takes a couple of seasons for things to pick up anyway. For a new show TMNT is doing pretty well.

SpongeBob is probably helping TMNT, if anything, because it gives a bigger lead-in. If they put less popular shows on, more kids would just watch other channels and TMNT would do even worse.

It's still not doing badly and gets better ratings than most of Nick's other shows, so I wouldn't worry about it being cancelled.

What's you standpoint on that?

[PhatRam32]

Still don't quite understand how the ratings can just drop like that.. 3.7mil to 2.8 mil in a matter of weeks? The episodes are only getting better.. don't get it. Was the last episode too dark for kids to understand? Just baffled...

Still don't quite understand how the ratings can just drop like that.. 3.7mil to 2.8 mil in a matter of weeks? The episodes are only getting better.. don't get it. Was the last episode too dark for kids to understand? Just baffled...

And the fact that Spongebob aired right before it with 4 Million views....what, did people just turn the TV Off after Spongebob aired?

Though obviously it will get better in time. Remember, most people didn't even know there was an Episode last Saturday! The drop is understandable, every single show has a massive drop after a random Episode. It's just a matter of people missing the show or waiting to watch it online, There are too many factors! Its all a matter of luck.

We know atleast 12 Million people are watching the Show in America overall so the ratings for one saturday morning episode isn't going to change anything. The problem I had was that this was the Turtles 1st encounter with Shredder which was Epic and I expected to get higher views but oh well....The Show is still doing really good and beating its competitors :)

Like i said they are on thanksgiving break a lot of kids are probably on vacation and are in places where they cant watch tv or they are swimming or something.

[PhatRam32]

We will see how the ratings are for the next few episodes.. hopefully the ratings drop was a fluke..

Its not a fluke. Shows go through highs and lows like this all the time, especially for a "new" show.

[Donatello19]

The ratings have been declining because Nickelodeon is not promoting the episodes at all. I did not see ONE commercial fro Never Say Xever, The Gauntlet, OR Panic In The Sewers. Not every kid is going to be like "ZOMG ITS SATURDAY! I TOTALLY REMEMBER THAT THERE WILL BE A TMNT EPISODE AT EXACTLY 11:00 AM!" It's Nickelodeon's fault, really. Remember guys, ratings aren't everything, the toys are flying off shelves, and the sales of those play a big part in the success of the show.

But the difference is they have their TV's on watching Spongebob right before.

That means they're literally turning their TV's OFF the moment Spongebob ends and TMNT begins. That's the problem.

Nick purposely put TMNT right after Spongebob in hopes those kids would stick around for it, but that doesn't seem to be happening sadly.

[Coola Yagami]

It could be the fact that the commercial made it seem like the episode was about the Turtles facing a stupid looking talking pigeon perhaps???

Honestly, after everyone hyping up that THIS was the episode where the Turtles face the Shredder, and then I saw the ad... I was like... 'is this the right episode...? maybe it's next week's?' It could have helped if the commercials were like 'CAN THE TURTLES SURVIVE THE SHOWDOWN WITH THE SHREDDER???" instead of..... 'the Turtles deal with a pigeon that wants sourdough'.

Like I said before, I didn't even see any commercials for the episode.

[Coola Yagami]

They always advertise the living hell out of the following TMNT episode at least an hour before it airs. You musta zoned out while Spongebob was playing like I do.

Why are you acting like this makes a difference to kids?

A 6 year old boy is not going to not watch something because he sees a talking pigeon.

[Coola Yagami]

No but a 9 year old or whatever might think it's stupid and skip it. I don't know. The question at hand was 'why weren't the ratings over 3 million considering this was the epic showdown against the Shredder???!!!' My guess is, because the episode wasn't advertised as such.

[The Stryker]

Or. Because it was the beginning of thanksgiving break and most kids were either travelling or sleeping.

[Donatello19]

They always advertise the living hell out of the following TMNT episode at least an hour before it airs. You musta zoned out while Spongebob was playing like I do.

Actually, I don't wait through Spongebob for TMNT. I hate Spongebob.

Me too, but I'm always too paranoid I'd miss the first few minutes of it if I don't have it on the channel at least a half hour before.

Does anyone have he K2-11 Ratings for last Weeks Show? And it's comparison to the Disney channel Shows?

I really hope the ratings increased from the last few weeks. 8). A little concerned with the ratings drop but that could be as a result of a few things that were discussed earlier..

I'm not sure if it was a Season 3 repeat (if it was than that completely defeats my point) but whatever...

I swear TMNT was reported a 2.9 for "Panic in the sewers". Why does it say 3.3 there?

The press release covers the whole of November, so there must have been an episode that scored 3.3 at some point. It might have been a repeat, I can't remember if there was a premiere that scored 3.3.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but the repeat that Is most likely to get 3.3 million would be "The Gauntlet". Do we actually have a confirmation of which episode repeat got those ratings?

Either way, thanks for the ratings as always HerpDerp :)

[pannoni1]

Considering how much media has fractured these days, its much more about the Internet search results, overall ranking, and merchandise sales than it is about ratings, but being the #2 animated series overall for kids is quite pleasing at this point that has potential to do even better. IMO the movie will be the most crucial in determining the success of the Nick era, being released right after Season 2. Let's keep up the good work Nick!

A shame that all the kids who watch Spongebob turned their TV's off when TMNT starts.

[Cure]

A shame that all the kids who watch Spongebob turned their TV's off when TMNT starts.

Not all of them, obviously.

[CyberCubed]

Not all of them, obviously.

Ratings of 6.5 and 4.9 of Spongebob down to 3.6 for TMNT is a pretty steep drop off.

Nick loses almost a half of their ratings when the 1 hour of Spongebob ends and TMNT starts.

[Cure]

Half is not all.

[CyberCubed]

I'm just curious why those kids don't simply leave their TV on. Unless their parents take them somewhere at 11am I don't get why they don't just stick around.

When I was a kid I just left the TV on the cartoon lineup all day even if I wasn't in the room watching. That's how I got into all those 90's and early 2000's cartoons in the first place.

[The Stryker]

Maybe they changed the channel to another show they wanted to watch or maybe they saw Spongebob and were done for the morning.

Not everyone just leaves the TV on for no reason.

[CyberCubed]

Seems like they don't want to give anything but Spongebob a chance.

Half the shows I got into as a kid is simply because I left my TV on and started to see what these shows were about.

[HerpDerp]

The drop after SpongeBob ends corresponds to a spike in viewers over at Disney. So it's not that kids turn their TVs off, they just go over to Disney instead.

Well that's you and it's been firmly established that you're not.....to put it nicely... A 'normal' person.

Back in the 90's when I was a kid, we left our TV's on all day unless we were playing our Super Nintendo. That's how things were because the internet barely existed back then and was in its infancy.

That's why we all became huge Nintendo, Batman and TMNT fans, that was the, "things to do," for all of us who grew up in the late 80's and early 90's.

There was no need to leave the tv open all the day. You could buy a tv magazine and read what the tv channels were playing evry day of the week. That what i was doing i was also a kid in 90' too and i got my first pc in 1996 but internet almost didnt exist .

Do kids these days not like action cartoons anymore? It would kinda explain why the DC superhero shows aren't as popular as they used to be either.

I don't get it. When I was a kid I watched as many action/superhero shows as I possible could, especially Batman, Gargoyles, the old 90's Spiderman/X-men, TMNT, etc.

You would think with the popularity of movies like the Avengers, Spiderman and Batman that kids would want to watch action cartoons on TV every week.

You can't keep using yourself to measure what kids today are into.

Kids like a variety of shows and they don't just mindlessly leave the TV on to watch whatever comes on next for hours.

[CyberCubed]

I think its probably because all the people seeing the modern superhero movies in theaters are adults like us, because as kids we enjoyed watching action/superhero cartoons. Its like re-living our youth in a way.

Kids today prefer comedy cartoons, which there's nothing wrong with, but its odd to me. Might also be why action figure toy sales have been declining.

[The Stryker]

Are you joking? Kids love the Superhero movies. It's not only adults going to see them.

Also people that have to 're-live' their youth are pathetic.

Because it needs to become as succesful as possible! It is doing well right now but it can do a lot better than that!

my kid got hooked and he's 6, though he seems to like the original cartoon even more (go figure, out of 12 nick episodes i have shown him 3 seasons of classic XD)

I'm glad the toy line is doing so well. Even though ratings are crucial to the success of a show, good income from merchandising is also a major factor.

I just wish Nick would show the turtles more often.

Thanks. those ratings are for friday, and since the show normally does not premier on a friday night the lower numbers shouldn't be read into too deeply. but we all knew this already right ^__^

Not that I feel ratings mean much in today's market anyway, particularly for a merchandise-oriented cartoon show, but it certainly does not hurt to see it ranking well)

Well, it depends. Some shows like Spongebob will get high ratings, but others (like Fanboy and Chum Chum...:x) will get such low ratings that Nickelodeon will rarely ever air the show.

Does Spongebob get typically better or worse ratings than TMNT?

Spongebob mostly gets higher but tmnt is rising!

[MrTMNT2012]

Saturday 11AM Ratings for 'I, Monster': 2.9 Million
11:30 Repeat got 2.4 Million!

Good. :tgrin:

[NinjaPug]

So the repeat on Saturday at 11 had ~ 300k more viewers than its Friday night premiere. Can't say I'm shocked.

Don't make it seem like TMNT is even close to Spongebob right now.

Also, why even compare the two? It doesn't matter.

Well, he asked, it's clear tmnt is incomparable to spongebob

[The Stryker]

That was more directed at the guy and some other people that are fixated on this Spongebob/TMNT issue that only exists in their heads.

Spongebob gets higher ratings. Doesn't change a thing.

[Shark_Blade]

I hope the ratings for Nick's TMNT will keep on rising steadily for many years to come.

[HerpDerp]

Saturday repeat of "I, Monster" got 2.912 million (http://sonofthebronx.blogspot.dk/2013/01/nickelodeon-ratings-january-21-27-2013.html#more).

Since we didn't get ratings yet how did everyone think 'new girl in town ' did, considering it didn't have much advertising that it was going to be on a Friday night and it was announced only on Thursday.

The saturday repeat will get many more views. It got a lot of advertising, but the Friday night premiere didn't (since it was a last minute scheduling change).

I'd say a least a million.

I just noticed that.

[TurtlesRule]

At least a million for which one? If it's the Friday episode, I could see relatively low numbers because of the schedule change but I think this show will always do well on Saturday.

[HerpDerp]

I think it will get less than "I, Monster" for Friday night, since it had hardly any promotion (they played the promo for the "new episode" on Saturday DURING the episode, which must have confused a lot of kids). But it will probably get higher than 3 million for the Saturday repeat, since that's when most kids thought it was premiering.

So, I don't understand. Is this good?

[Shredded]

So, I don't understand. Is this good?

I dare say, since that's 2.295 people more than there lifes in my entire country.. it's pretty good, pretty good..


(seriously, over here it's considered a big deal when 80.000 people saw the same movie.. :/ )

2.300 mio viewers! not counting people from other countries whom watched it over the net or downloaded it over itunes! On a saturday morning kids show....
It could be worse!

[HerpDerp]

So, I don't understand. Is this good?

It's the lowest rated episode yet. But that's probably because the promos said it was premiering Saturday. So I'd judge the success of the episode more on the Saturday ratings (when we get them) than the Friday ratings, to be honest.

Gees. I'm worried it's because of the characters. Is it me, or has Leonardo centric episodes been getting the least amount of viewership?:tconfuse: God, I hope that isn't true.:tsad:

What was on that was so much better than this?

Oh my god. Would you stop being such a child? It's not some world ending thing. It's not even a thing at all!



......or maybe everyone hates Leonardo.

You know what? Who asked you? Leave me alone.

[The Stryker]

You asked everyone in a general way genius. Cry some more over nobody liking Leonardo.

Good episode though. Just saying.

[HerpDerp]

To answer your question, Bauer, I highly doubt the number of viewers has anything to do with what character the episode revolves around. Like I said, the ratings for this episode were low because Nick made a late schedule change and moved it forward to Friday despite running promos for Saturday. So the repeat on Saturday will probably do much better than it did on Friday.

Don't worry so much about the ratings. They're still better than a lot of shows on Nick and they get good numbers for repeats, too.

Exactly. The show is fine. Stop worrying over every dip and peak.

[Cure]

No, I'm sure everyone hates Leonardo. I know I do.

[ToTheNines]

I heard Leonardo won't be in season 2.

[CyberCubed]

Nick is probably also looking at the combined ratings of the Friday airing and the Saturday one, so add both of them together and a lot of people watched the episode.

[PhatRam32]

When do they usually release Saturday ratings for tmnt?
