Good for Haven. Dont think good enough for renewel. So many low rated shows on syfy its hard to know.
Glad Gravity Falls did well. I hope Disney now knows that if you air a night of low-rated shows, and put Gravity Falls at 9:30 the ratings won’t be as good as it could have beem.
great ratings for jessie and gravity falls. Ant farm still needs help.
Jessie’s ratings were also good. A.N.T. Farm, same old, same old.
@Jon 23812 I agree with you GF should have the 9pm time slot while phineas and ferb and fish hooks could premiere episodes after it. So an excellent lead-in for both series
HA! I knew it. For weeks Disney’s Friday Block has bombed in the ratings without Jessie. Now Jessie’s back and Disney has a successful few shows again.
Well, with Jessie back it’s gonna be a close battle for total day. I was right about my Disney predictions. So, here’s my Nickelodeon predictions:
iShock America: Heavily tweeted and discused, 3.9 – 5.3 million viewers
SpongeBob On Tour- Well, it’s SpongeBob so 4.0 – 5.6 million viewers
TMNT- Promotion was bad, 3.1 – 3.7 million viewers
FINALLY! My entire weekend has been nothing but anticipating the ratings for Gravity Falls’ “Summerween”! Yes I have no life, but seriously that episode was the best of the series thus far!
So glad the ratings and viewers have gone up! The best show on Disney!!
Kind of sad when Jessie is the pinnacle of Disney’s programming block. Without it everything on Friday would sink and die.
Just need MBAV numbers.
What can Disney do with ANT Farm? Really..what can they do?
iShock America was pretty funny. Gibby’s pants malfunction was expected, but the no underwear was suprising. Nickelodeon seems to have forgotten iCarly is a kids’ show.
Spongebob on Tour wont affect the Total day #’s due to it airing on Monday. Tmnt probably got 3 million viewers, and it will continue to decline. Just another show will suffer from Nickelodeons horrible promotion..
Awesome for Gravity Falls. Looks like Disney is slow on renewing animated series..
Yay Dead Files.
@Twist of Fate
I loved it. I’d say hmm… probably 5 million? A lot of Fallon fans tuned in so…
@Twist of Fate, iCarly is more of a teen show than it is a kid’s show.
@ Nathan
Cancel it?..but we know that’s not gonna happen considering its just been renewed.
Happy to see Ghost Adventures finally break 1 million total viewers. Its definitely a show I watch consistently.
@Nathan Hopefully not, Korra managed to crank out amazing ratings even with terrible promotion.
Nickelodeon has finally added a morning Gotta See Saturdays block starting this Saturday:
11:00- TMNT
11:30- Kung Fu Panda
12:00- Tuff Puppy
12:30- Robot And Monster
1:00- Power Rangers
8:00- iCarly
8:30- Victorious
9:00- Big Time Rush
9:30- How To Rock
Finally, it’s been over 4 months since a new Tuff Puppy has aired.
What happened to Smackdown, it’s dying
Wow…thanks to fight night….ultimate fighter jump to all new high a mil! congrats it needs it….having 900-700ks viewers is terrible.
I want to know how monsters inside me did?
