    Oh, so it's *only* for the premier show. This is confusing me. @@

    No, it is not. I lost the link and I don't have time to find it but everything I have seen for TFA is in the 2.7-4.1 range.

    I'm not saying it is not a great show but I wouldn't call it successful and I'm sure CN feels the same way that untill the show breaks into the top 20 it's not a hit. The top 20 fluctuates and SBS dominates as far as cartoons go.

    Are you arbitrarily making up terms for success, or what? Under your criteria, there isn't a single damn cartoon (save those bizarre numbers for Spongebob) that's been successful on any of the kid networks in any of the past months.

    You're still ignoring that Animated was Number One for boys 2-11 when it premiered. Is that somehow not a success?

    I dunnow, if I were CN, I'd think that expecting it to do Spongebob like numbers would be ridiculous.

    Hell, Ben 10 doesn't even do that well.

    No, all I said was it did not get a 9.1 as a Nielson rating.

    So, you're saying it's NOT a success, right?

    Ok, fine it was a 9.1 then it went down to a 2.7. Happy? That sound successful to you dropping 6.4 million viewers (even though I do not think it ever had a 9.1 rating)? lol

    The question was is the show successful and imo it is not a huge success until it beats alot of the top shows which currently it is not.

    Well, if they're already planning/finishing a third season, I think that's enough of a proof that the show is sucessful in its own right. Maybe not that big of a sucess yet. But definitely enough interest to keep it going.

    Fandom aside, I think Spongebob and shows like Pokemon should be on their way out. I mean, come on how many reruns/replays did they have already? If you ask me, they should waste all that time, money and talent coming up with new, exciting and not to mention intelligent cartoons:)

    Pokemon is extremely popular because of the games, cards, toys etc. no way they're going to stop airing it.
