@Nick – can you post the House of Anubis ratings for new episodes this Mon-Thu at 8:30pm on TeenNick? Thanks!
wow look at those friends ratings at midnight, increadible, still my fav show along with grey’s
Archer down alot.
Hopefully Archer will rise up.
I never understood how people can watch Family Guy in repeats. It reruns on 3 different networks(CW, TBS, ADSM)I would believe people would get tired of this show. I guess it has a cult following.
@John A
I thought it was. Too bad for it.
No World Baseball Classic? The WBC should just end since no one’s watching.
Wow the Scooby Doo movie did really good.
scooby doo
, GO NICK
Friends is doing so well after almost a decade.
I love how Nick @ Night is doing better than most of Nickelodeon’s original programming..
Hope that Impact Wrestling number goes up in the next few weeks. At least the numbers have been consistent.
Still really sad that Legit doesn’t make the list but thank god that AMC’s trashy Thursday shows aren’t making the list.
I personally have never believed in those numbers….Those numbers have always been fixed….
Money talks….
Friends at midnight on NAN beats what Do No Harm could manage at 10 on NBC. YIKES, if ever anything summed up the decline of NBC Thursday…
Another series low for Anger Management. What a trainwreck.
So I’m not the only one who watched that Scooby Doo movie?
ohh wow charley sheen # dont look good. n no baseball classic americans are sorwe loosers
Friends is doing some huge numbers for a show that’s been out 20 years. It’d probably be easier if NBC just rebooted Friends back up that’d get them back going.
It’s a shame Anger Management after a couple of weeks of growing went back down, the show is becoming really underrated after all of the hype when it started.
TNA had an amazing episode and probably the best Impact episode of all-time. It makes me sick when I look at the WWE’s ratings for that horrible product and see TNA not getting 2 million yet. What do they have to do? DAMN!
the nation has spoken. hillbilly’s and zombies are cool.
Nathan for you??
The ben show??
Thanks in advance!!
Wow that has to be pretty good for the Braxton’s in total viewers considering WeTv #’s!
