There is a lot more information in the daily cable ratings.
We always post whatever specific show data we received directly and see via press release or other trade publications. You can subscribe to our RSS feed and we have created a special category (Overnight Cable TV Show Ratings), which we usually post late in the afternoon on the east coast (and Friday night data isn't posted until Monday).

and Victorious, Big Time Rush?????????????
I’m not a hater of tmnt, but I think it will go down
Good for TMNT. I think the next episode will get a 3.5-3.7.
Yeah
Hell Yeah, TMNT Premiered HUGE. Take that Spongebob, Nickelodeon has a new hit show which is actually Good!
Wish that dude posted 18-49.
Wondering what the Walking Dead premiere will hit…7 million viewers?
What were the viewership of Victorious & HtR?
DISASTER- Nickelodeon’s new show Teen Mutant Ninja Turtles BOMBED. With as much promotion as they gave it, it didn’t even draw 4 million. That’s BAD NEWS for Nickelodeon; they were counting on it to be their new Spongebob. Yeowch.
OMG I was expecting way more for TMNT with all that promotion.! I guess if u add part 1 viewership on Friday with the 1 hour premiere on Saturday it’s a lot more. Idk lol. OMG if victorious got below 2.9 million I’m gonna be super mad.!! That show is good and it should not get that low, but then again it wasnt promoted good or much.! I think nickelodeon needs to get their promotion team fired and rehire new ones.
TMNT still did pretty well, not as well as I thought it would, but it beat everything on nick and Disney for the week. Im pretty sure that the numbers will be stay that high next week with very little promotion..
Man did I get burned my DVR last week. I had SOA at 60 min & it cutoff 6 min early on me. I have to add more time to avoid this overrun again.
TMNT did meh. Victorious and BTR needed more promotion. I agree, Nickelodeons promotion team consist of drunks. Promoting Victorious for only one day doesn’t bring in viewers!!
major crimes has found its groove. the stories seem to be getting stronger each week IMO.
“TMNT did meh” Not really. It killed Power Rangers.
@Poweranimals
Considering it had months of promotion, merchandise sold out, and a lot of media buzz, it could have done better..but it’s still awesome
Power Rangers on the other hand……
Go Nickelodeon!!!
Next Saturday New iCarly One Hour Special!
iShock America!!
i Love Nick!
i gotta bad feeling about ishock america
Nickelodeon is in trouble. TMNT did very poor for how much promotion it got. I also agree with the comments about Nick’s promotion team failing. I have a feeling TMNT will drop next week and slowly continue to drop.
FROM NICK:
VICTORiOUS — 2.391 million (down a big 1,206,000 viewers from last week)
Big Time Rush — 2.424 million (down 47,000 viewers from last week)
How to Rock — 1.850 million (down 183,000 viewers from last week)
Nickelodeon doesn’t have much left. Spongebob is somehow managing to stay up despite the episodes not being as good as they used to be.
The Legend of Korra is their only great show, but that won’t be back until 2013. And Nickelodeon failed at promoting Korra as well. If they promoted Korra the way they promoted TMNT it would have got a 4.5m-5m audience like the premiere of Korra did.
where did you get that?, because i don’t think so that is the audience
