Good ratings for WOWP.
But Nickelodeon still whooped ass with iCarly (11.2 million viewers) and Big Time Rush (6.8 million).
Just kidding. WOWP is a really good show, no too keen on the Suite Life but the couple of episodes I saw of that show were okay.
Wizards does a good job of showcasing everyone and making everyone on the show fell and look important and ratings show that the fans like that.
All I can said the Hope For Haiti Telethon was good for something, alots of family and friends didn’t want to watch it so they turn the channel and watch the Wizards of Waverly Place – Wizards vs. Werewolves on Disney Channel
What’s iCarly?
That’s it?! 6.2 million? Wizards deserves way better than that! It was a really good 1-hour special, the acting was believable, the writing was impressive, the jokes were hilarious and there was even some serious, meaningful parts. Why do kids want to watch a stupid, crappy show like iCarly?! I don’t get this.
I really don’t see how Icarly has more viewers than Wizards. That show is completely pointless. The acting is horrific. It’s not funny in anyway. Wizards is amazing, brilliant, unbelievable in all aspects. Selena and David really showcased a new side of their abilities on Friday night. The writers did as well.
I like Suite Life on Deck, but I cant stand that one kid that they added. Every time he’s on screen I want to jump out a window.
I love Wizards actually
(I’m 20 btw)
I don’t fall into any of the age groups mentioned above but I love the show
Wizards is a great show. Selena and David do a terrific job portraying their characters, especially in that one hour episode. Lots of different emotions going on there and all believable. Looking forward to seeing what happens next
oh and I’m 23!!
I love this show. I’m 29 aND I Watch it with my daughter ,shes 9. i love all the actors on there they make the show great. Good job guys!!!!!!!!!!!! Selena gomez is so cute and a great role model. (I don’t allow my daughter to watch Hannah Montana anymore. she was ok when she first started. but she’s a really bad role model for kids. She should start acting her age.) To all the cast of waverly place luv your show, keep up the good work.
I’m always watching this show with my daughter and it’s really funny. That Selena Gomez girl is a great actress, and from what I’ve seen, a class act.
Good for them! I love WOWP, it always gets funnier.
I’m glad this show got an Emmy
luve wizards and david thx 4 tweeting dis david!im a tween n luv it hope it stays with us 4 a long time. cant wait 4 da episodes that david wrote 2 b aired!!! another emmy i hope and da whole cast r gr8 at acting and r really nice.
wow, thats really good. I agree with the others, I still don’t understand the whole fascination about iCarly and so with Hannah Montana. Both are horrible at acting and not as funny as everyone thinks. WOWP has everything, comedy, action, drama , romance. One of the shows I vividly follow. Last fridays episode was too heartbreaking. I have already watched it twice. The ending of both relationship was truly bittersweet, complimented by good acting from David Henrie and Selena Gomez. Jake T. Austin provided some of the comic relief during the scene and his howl and his goodbye to Mason was heartbreaking.. I love the writers, this was one of my favorite episode.
LOVE WOWP AND SLOD
DDDDDDD AWESOME DISNEY
I’m so glad this show is doing well, and I’m glad that it’s just not the kids owning up to loving it. I’m 21 and have watched nearly all the episodes
I liked it when I saw it!!! Great show!
Si! I love the Wizards!! are the best, I love the whole cast, they deserve this and much more!
I Love Wizards!!!!
