There is a lot more information in the daily cable ratings.

    Go Gravity Falls! Maybe Nick will go back to making Nicktoons like in the 90′s and get rid of these generic, cheesy music/being famous sitcoms directed a tween girls. Disney’s starting to do that and with great results. More animated shows to come in 2013!

    So if it’s week ending 26th August that would be the ratings for Major Crimes episode 1×02 not the most recent episode 1×03, correct?

    Gravity Falls! Love that show. Something on Disney Channel that doesn’t make me hate myself.

    Gravity Falls is one ugly looking cartoon but I like the other shows on Disney channel.

    Gravity falls? How can anyone possibly watch that show? Its a visual and intellectual insult. I guess if people can watch Storage Wars they will literally watch anything.

    Let’s hope Nick stops airing Spongebob all the time now. No more than four or five airings a day, alright Nick?
