   Haven 2 million ?? With only a .5 18-49 ?
   I think the 2 million is the mistake !

   no way Haven gets that much views !
   Maybe WWE viewers forgot to change the channel ???

   Nothing from Disney? Wow…

   @nick, do you have ratings for “My Babysitter’s a Vampire” at 7:30pm on Disney Channel.

   FYI to others: A.N.T. Farm, Code: 9 and Fish Hooks were all in primetime and will be posted sometime this evening at thefutoncritic.com.

   Although the demo sucks..2 million viewers who watched Haven is pretty nice. I haven’t seen any scripted series on Syfy pass the 2 million mark lately.

   Happy to see Ghost Adventures appear in the top 100 cable shows of the night.

   Yah for Haven, it bet every episode last season except for 1 (tied with another episode) and it grew from its last premiere.

   It seems it is unlike other Syfy shows that gradually and continuously decline in ratings never to pick up again.

   Good ratings for a seriously trippy episode.

   DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OF THE RATINGS FOR LAST SEASON, COULD ONLY FIND VIEWERS, CAN ONLY THINK IT WAS BETWEEN 0.4-0.6, NOT SURE THOUGH.

    Just checked on Futon Critic and although can’t get individual episodes the ratings it got for its season 3 premiere was the same as the average for season 2 and season 1. Go Haven!

    @Nathan You saw that two, yeah I’m totally watching it. Oh, and on Wednesday, Nickelodeon is airing a Spongebob 11-hour marathon, followed by a new episode of Kung Fu Panda and Robot and Monster.

    wow Haven got the best total viewers on syfy for a while. Demo isnt impressive though.

    Haven is incredibly steady. Those numbers basically match what it got last year.

    @Amanda

    Does anyone have the ratings to A.N.T. Farm & My Babysitter’s a Vampire?!

16. Bryan

    Posted September 24, 2012 at 3:22 PM

    For those wondering (via TheFutonCritic.com):

    8:00pm A.N.T. Farm – 2.615 million
    8:30pm Code: 9 – 2.385 million
    9:00pm Fish Hooks – 2.455 million
    9:30pm Gravity Falls (repeat) – 2.596 million

    As stated already, if Nick (or anyone who has them) could posted My Babysitter’s a Vampire (at 7:30pm) that would be great.

    @Nathan, yeah, I’m watching it.

    @Bryan, Wow Code: 9 is really Disney’s worst rated show (right now). Bet they are wishing they hadn’t bump Mitchel Musso’s PrankStars now (which wasn’t really any better)!

    Nice total viewers for Haven but man Syfy keeps skewing old with its demos. I hope Haven at least does as well as Lost Girl in the spot since I suspect it costs a bit more for Syfy than Lost Girl.

    @Bryan thanks for those numbers!

    Disappointing numbers for ANT Farm (for another very funny episode). I did some calculations using the ratings data on Wikipedia. Right now, premiere episodes of Season 2 of ANT Farm are averaging 2.96 million viewers. By comparison the Season 1 average was 3.37 million.

    To compare to second season ratings of other Disney shows: Season 2 of Shake It Up averaged 3.43 million, and Season 2 of Good Luck Charlie averaged 3.62 million.

    Do you guys think ANT Farm is still safe for a Season 3? Or is there a chance ANT Farm will get the Phil of the Future/Cory in the House/Jonas treatment and only get two seasons?
