   WOW Gravity Falls did great That’s a series high! (too bad i missed the epiosde, they changed the time-slot from 9:30 to 9:00pm)

   Gravity Falls is truly a wonderful show, the characters are hilarious and the inclusion of the over-arching mysteries w/ “The Book” and references to previous episodes makes it even better.

   Good for Gravity Falls. Weird how a repeat of ANT FARM at 1am is on the list but not the original showing of ANT FARM that night at 8:00pm. Any numbers on that airing??

   Common Law finale was the BEST episode it has had. The chemistry was intense. The writing very clear, concise. The dialogue was snappy. It proves that writers put more effort into premieres/pilots/finales than any other episode.

   My hope is Common Law/Covert Affairs next summer! Tuesdays @ 9.

   Don’t be rude to him, be more respectful. He doesn’t deserve random people hassling him with comments like that.

   Frankly, if you can’t show people respect, and abide by the rules here(Which are very relaxed to begin with) you deserve to be blocked, and for that I agree with his actions.

   Lost Girl has quite a loyal Nielsen following, over the course of the shows run the numbers haven’t changed significantly and frankly, although they’re not great, as the network isn’t directly paying towards the shows production, there’s no reason why it can’t keep being picked up for more seasons after the third has aired.

    Gravity Falls is gonna have great ratings next week because it’s airing right after Shake it Up: Made in Japan.

    @Robert @Amanda @Bill

    Could someone PLEASE tell me the numbers for the My Babysitter’s a Vampire episode that aired that night?!

    I heard that “Erica” trended on Twitter for about 10 minutes while that episode aired, that’s USUALLY a good sign, usually. With Disney’s lack of promotion for MBAV, it does surprisingly well.

    Please and Thanks Robert!

    @Robert @Amanda @Bill

    How come Disney Channel doesn’t pair My Babysitter’s a Vampire with other Disney Channel events, it’s ALWAYS on it’s own, A.N.T. Farm too as of lately! That’s why I want to know the numbers for MBAV, because it breifly trended Twitter.

    Gravity Falls IMO is a crappy cartoon being proped up with major promotion and other high rated Disney shows. Take away the lead-ins and the heavy promotion, Gravity Falls will rate like A.N.T. Farm.

    And Code: 9 just needs to go on and fade away, kids aren’t like teens/adults, reality shows aren’t their cup of tea.

    Disney should change their Friday line-up:
    Disney Channel Original Movie (2005-present) – 6PM (limited commercials)
    Code: 9 – 8PM
    A.N.T. Farm – 8:30PM
    Gravity Falls – 9:30PM
    My Babysitter’s a Vampire – 10PM

    That’s what I think anyway. The movies should air on Friday evenings again, MBAV would do fair at 10, A.N.T. Farm would likely boost after [crappy] Code: 9, and Gravity Falls would likely go either/or after A.N.T. Farm.

    Those are excellent numbers for Gravity Falls, and a new series high. Wonder where THAT came from. Looks like Disney’s summer reign will continue. Unless hopefully Robot and Monster got at least 3.6. It had a strong lead in, The Spongebob Squarepants Movie/ Best Day Ever.

    @NICK…

    Please let us know what the numbers are for the following:

    MLS Game on NBCSPN on Friday Evening @8:00 PM EST featuring NY vs. Houston?

    Bronze medal match in Men’s Olympic Soccer game on MSNBC @ 2:45 pm (EST)?

    Thank you…

    I enjoyed the 1st season of Common Law & hope it returns on another night next year. With no decent leadin it’s no wonder they didn’t get better numbers on Fri at 10pm.

    @Rick: we didn’t see the numbers for My Babysitter is a Vampire. You can count on it always working as follows: if it isn’t in the top 100 list *and* it doesn’t air in primetime (8-11p ET/PT), we won’t see any daily numbers unless there is a press release or someone who does have the numbers is kind enough to post them in the comments.

    For anybody wondering about the future of Victorious:

    Just finished with the final season of Victorious. Expect a whole batch of episodes this fall. #ICan’tBelieveIt’sOver

    Well, the time is nearly upon us guys. The end of 2 great show. And before I forget, expect a one-hour special of iCarly called iLove Jimmy Fallon in about a month or 2.

    Congrats for Gravity Falls.

    @Rick, What are you talking about? Gravity Falls is the best Disney cartoon currently on the air.

20. good time charlie

    @Rick you sound a little jealous about Code:9′s success. I think the ratings prove that well produced reality shows can indeed be kids cup of tea.
