Anyone have the ratings for XIII: The Series on ReelzChannel at 9 pm? Thanks in advance.
I actually like JESSIE better than other shows on Disney channel except GLC.
My top 5 Nick/Disney originals post for the week will be out tomorrow.
Here’s top 5 so far- (Highly likely to change as Nick has Sat originals and Disney has Sunday originals)
1. A.N.T Farm- 3.4 million
2. My Babysitter’s a Vampire- 3.2 million
3. Gravity Falls- 3.1 million
4. Figure It Out- Wed- 2.5 million
5. Figure It Out- Tue- 2.5 million
Other data-
BTR- 2.3 million
Figure It Out- Mon- 2.2 million
Figure It Out- Thurs- ?
Figure It Out- Fri- ?
Coming tomorrow-
-Victorious
-HTR
-GLC
-SIU
Here’s my guess for the top 5-
1. GLC
2. SIU
3. Victorious/A.N.T Farm
4. Victorious/A.N.T Farm
5. My Babysitter’s a Vampire
Disney- 4 entries
Nick- 1 entry
We’ll see who WINS TOMORROW!
.disney!
Victorious was really great on Saturday. It also trended on twitter. And it reached #2 on iTunes. And Nickelodeon promoted the hell out of the episode. Definitely over 4 million. I’d be surprised it got less….
@ disney fan,
i thought the same thing about gravity falls. it doesnt belong on disney. makes me wonder really why they are going to become so much stricter with who and what company advertises on the channel but yet they allow a cartoon that is written like gravity falls.
Kids don’t care what channel a show they like is on – the DVR everything or watch it later on their laptop or phone. These discussion of whether a show “fits” a network is fine for adults but the kid audience really doesn’t care. My kids have a wide range of shows they love but they NEVER sit down on a appointed night at a certain time on a certain channel to watch it. They do marathons with a Season DVD or watch it off the DVR.
P.S. I agree with the people saying Jessie is lame. I like the cartoonish craziness and laughs on Ant Farm. But I know people who enjoy Jessie.
Well, my favourite Disney show is Jessie, and my fsvouritr cartoon in gravity falls , and yea I agree with everyone saying that gravity falls doesn’t belong to disneychannel, but shouldn’t you be happy Disney channel is sort of growing up wih a bit of my babysitter and gravity falls
The O’Reilly Factor? First, these ratings in terms of 18-49 are not good. Second, isn’t it supposed to be listed on the cable news ratings? Third: I always take these ratings lists with a grain of salt, how is it possible that a repeat of Chelsea Lately on Friday could have had higher ratings than a new Fashion Police that doesn’t appear on the list? It’s possible but I’m not sure about that.
I hope Common Law gets a second season. I am really enjoying this show.
