iCarly did very well.
Love the Gold Rush show and love Duck Dynasty only because of the uncle.If he wasn’t on there the show wouldn’t be funny.
Noooo before from iCarly bigs ratings
iGo to Japan-7.6
IDate a bad boy-6.5
iFight Shelby Marx-7.9
And more, iGoodbye is very dawn
It could’ve done worse considering the last 2 seasons did terrible.
Plus, there were other shows competing against it like MC and LMS on ABC and the targeted audience might have been busy going to the movies (5 movies grossed over $20M, only has happened two other times).
Or it could just be that Nick turned iCarly from a hit to an afterthought. That show had the worst scheduling ever. 4 episodes in a row and then 6 months off only to return with 1 episode per month doesnt really lend itself to ratings. We were comparing Disney’s scheduling to Nick’s and Disney actually does it right (even if you dont like the shows)
@JC I agree. The strong ratings in 15 months for the series shows the Victorious and Marvin Marvin should’ve aired after the finale. Nick needs to do a better job in scheduling their shows and not do long hiatuses.
Duck DyNASTY? What is the point of that show.
Why dont they make some shows like set in the da Hood? Pit Bull Dynasty, Crack Rush Chicago or Survivor: Crypts vs. Bloods vs. MS13 with special color commentary from member of the Yakuza, Russian and Sicilian Mafias?
@Other…
I don’t know if I’m more saddened by Wednesdays ratings or the Fridays ratings, because people watching repeats of that show is somewhat worse than people watching the premiere.
Another good idea for a show American Chopper: Hood Edition – where they build bikes for customers like Rappers and Drug Dealers – bikes with giant spinner wheels, gold plated and covered with diamonds. Theme bikes could include a Newport Cigarettes Bike, Welches Grape Soda, Bike for Rappers like Pit Bull (with a giant Pit Bull head for the headlight and maybe a bike made to look like a AK 47 for the largest Russian manufacturer of that versatile weapon – the clip would be the front fork and the grip would have the seat and the back wheel.
AQUA UNIT PATROL SQUAD 1 – even in reruns it scores in the top 3rd and at 12:30am no less. Quite impressive for an anthropomorphic box of fries, a milkshake and a meat ball.
How did R. Kelly’s classic Trapped in the Closet Part 3 do on Friday(IFC, 9 pm)?
How did the ANT Farm Special did?
Solid finale for iCarly. Most of the audience had abandoned the show, so 6.43 million is pretty good.
Not happy with the number of viewers for icarly, but it did well. I was hoping for more than 8million but it still delievered sucess. I want to know how it did Saturday at 7:00pm. Does anybody know.?
Gold Rush 1.8–NICE
AHAHASHAHAHAHAHA to the guy who said they should make shows about the hood??? Oh what is this poor world coming to? I’m sure people would rather watch about a family who lives off the land and has good family values then watching a bunch of gangstas killing each other. Dumbass. Duck Dynasty is such a great show. If you have a chance to watch it, please do. It’s hilarious!
Hanna Montana Finale: 6.2 (http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/01/19/sunday-cable-ratings-hannah-montana-finale-real-housewives-top-gear-big-love-final-season-premiere-more/79402/)
iCarly Finale: 6.4
Zoey 101 Finale: 5.4
Wizards of Waverly Place Finale: 9.8
The Suite Life on Deck: 4.6
Ive seen enough of Duck Die Nasty on THE SOUP. They put shows like this on to mock them yet they arent smart enough to realize whats going on. Same goes for awful junk like Honey Boo Boo, Hillbilly Hand Fishin, Moonshiners and Small Town Security and others such shows with white people missing a few chromosomes.
They would mever put on similar shows for non whites because they would be boycotted and picketed by the NAACP.
the last episode of icarly before the finale got 3.4 million viewers so 6.4 isn’t that bad. and it’s the best ratings in like a year i think.
