Well, since disney rocks isn’t doing it, I guess i’ll do the Top 5 Nick/Disney entries:
1: Gravity Falls
2: Code 9
3: Spongebob
4: Jessie
5: Fairly Odd Parents
Remaining Shows: Good Luck Charlie, Shake It Up, Robot and Monster.
Hollywood Heights – Nickelodeon
0.585 million viewers, #17; 0.117 million adults 18-49 (0.1 rating), #17
Go Gravity Falls! I LOVE it!
@Twist of Fate-Top 5 entries must be NEW episodes only
My predictions for the Nick/Disney top 5 for the week-
1.Gravity Falls
2.Good Luck Charlie/Jessie/SIU/Code:9
3.Good Luch Charlie/Jessie/SIU/Code:9
4.Good Luck Charlie/Jessie/SIU/Code:9
5.Good Luck Charlie/Jessie/SIU/Code:9
Not making list- Many episodes of Robot and Monster, A.N.T Farm, MBAV, You Gotta See This!
That’s REALLY Good for Gravity Falls!
Also, that’s decent for Jessie!
@Kaylie I’m not Robert, but I’ll do my best to help. Well, Nickelodeon canceling Victorious should not come as a suprise to ANYONE. When Dan Schneider creates a new show his limit his 60 episodes (except iCarly). While it does suck to lose a good show, I’d rather see Victorious on top, rather then go through major losses like iCarly. Dan Schneider already confirmed this had nothing to do with Sam and Cat or Gibby. Dan finally finished with the remaining episodes of iCarly and Victorious, and Nickelodeon is finally airing the rest of the episodes later this fall. Spoiler: Beck and Jade will get together in a future episode. Gibby and Sam and Cat should be premiring before the new year as the pilots have been produced and the shows have been put in production. one-hour special of iCarly called iLove Jimmy Fallon is in the works for September or October.Well, hope I helped.
@disney rocks
Well, i figured that, but the rerun ch…I mean Nickelodeon has terrible booking departments, and never airs anything NEW. They did announce starting this fall they are increasing their program rate. And I don’t see why you have Code 9, GLC, or Shake It Up at number 1. Gravity Falls beat Code 9, and GLC and Shake It Up have been struggling to pull 3 million, they ARE NOT beating Gravity Falls. As for Robot and Monster, Nickelodeon promoted it much better this time around, so here are my predictions:
1: Gravity Falls
2: Code 9
3: Robot and Monster
4: GLC
5: Shake It Up
Thanks @Amy.!(:
@TwistOfFate
OMG I luv Robot & Monster lol.!(: I hope it did well.!
@Twist of Fate… Good Luck Charlie has never had a problem pulling in 3 million views. They had a problem last week because they were up against the Olympics. Thats actually still good considering the tough competition. Yesterdays episodes should have no problem with getting over 3 million viewers. Plus, why do you think Robot and Monster will beat GLC and Shake it Up?
Good to see Gravity Falls do well. Sucks that Nick is still stuck on Spongebob 24/7 mode for their channels. Give us something new and fresh Nick.
@Kaylie OK, I exaggerated the Robot and Monster ratings, but GLC has been struggling either way. All the Friday premires were against the Olympics, which has also lost a good deal of viewers.
@zodd While it’s true Nickelodeon airs Spongebob WAY too much, it is their most successful show, and one of the few shows on cable than can reach 3 million viewers for daily reruns.
@Amy
Do you have the numbers somewhere for My Babysitter’s a Vampire?!
SOMEBODY PLEASE?! It trended twitter for a few minutes, I NEED to know how it did!
Thanks to Amy for the Hollywood Heights ratings.
@Kaylie, Nickelodeon said, that if the next few Victorious episodes get good ratings, they might bring it back.
@Twist of Fate, the 60 episode rule is just a rumor.
@Rick, looks like someone is jealous of all those other shows’ success.
But to answer your question, “My Baby Sitters a Vampire” doesn’t get lots of promotion and isn’t paired up with the other Disney shows because it’s a Canadian import. It’s not produced by Disney Channel, they just air the episodes here in the US, therefore, they don’t see the need to spend time and money to promote a show they don’t have loads of money invested in. It was the same situation with “Life with Derek” & “Naturally Sadie” several years back.
Don’t take it personally, as long as it’s doing great across the border and is doing moderately well here, it’ll be fine. Imported shows aren’t judged as severely when it comes to ratings because it costs the network less money, so it’s actually a good thing
And it’s not just Disney Channel, all networks put less focus on imported shows.
The Common Law finale was really good. It seemed to take forever to find its way, but I really enjoyed this episode. I hope that it comes back.
Wow congrats gravity falls
Jessie did well aswell
