@Twist Of Fate 2.0:
“You Disney fans make a lot of excuses, for example:
Nickelodeon Fan: Why are Ant Farm’s numbers so bad
Disney Fan: Uhhhh… it has a.. bad time slot”
“One week doesn’t prove anything, not only did Spongebob have a terrible time slot BOTH times”
So which is it – an excuse, or a justifiable reason?
you gotta admit that 3 months is impessive but it should not be compared to 17 and a half years
@Ryan Stoppable I was waiting for you to point that out. Let me explain. For some dumb reason, Nickelodeon thoughtit would be a good idea to air a new episode on Labor Day. Who STAYS HOME on Labor Day. It’s a day for families to enjoy the last taste of Summer. Despite this, Spongebob scored a decent 3.4 million viewers. Ant Farm, however, was aired at 8:00 which is primetime. If it really was a timeslot issue, than how did it score a season high 2 weeks before.
Wait. How come nick loses when they had all new programming daily in the summer. How come they win when it’s all been repeats?
Nickelodeon fans are annoying. STOP acting like your network is so much better because it’s not. Not all of disney’s programming is good but most of it is. Not all nickelodeon shows are fantastic. They get their good ratings from victorious and icarly which are now being cancelled and to be replaced by ‘Sam & cat’ and ‘gibby’ which will both completely tank. So count your blessings because you’re going to see a dramatic drop in ratings over at Nickelodeon once again. Trust me.
