Sonic Boom Cartoon Ratings – Week 3
The passing of another week means the release of more television ratings for Sonic Boom from TV By The Numbers. Once again the show is making its mark.
Saturday morning programming (7-11 a.m.) earned year-over-year gains among all targeted demos, highlighted by Sonic Boom (7 a.m.), which ranked #1 in its time period among boys 6-11/9-14; and Pokémon the Series XY (8 a.m.), which ranked #1 in its time period among kids 9-14 & boys 9-14. Both new episode premieres grew delivery across all targeted demos vs. the same time period last year, ranging from 31% to 85%.
With Cartoon Network returning to Dish Network consumers, it being Thanksgiving weekend for Americans, and the show moving to only one new eleven minute episode per week starting this weekend it will be interesting to see how this affects the ratings. Stay tuned.

Oh that’s nifty. Glad the show is performing pretty decently. I’m glad the show is great.

The trend of strong ratings is good to see. But why the switch to single episodes? They’re all done already, are they not? Or are they doing it just to drag out the series as long as possible? If the latter, I don’t see that strategy working out for them.
I honestly don’t get why he’s on this website. Didn’t he state himself that he hates Sonic?
He hangs around because idiots like me keep engaging him. Of course, there’s no point arguing with the guy, so I just poke him with a REALLY BIG STICK instead 🙂
That’s not really the best way to handle the situation.
Hmm, good point.
I might just start flirting with him instead 🙂
While 100Rings gives his opinion… in his own way, it’s still an opinion. Perhaps he hangs around to see what will happen to the Sonic franchise?
Or maybe he just likes messing with people, I don’t know. I’m not 100Rings.
They ordered 52 eleven minute episodes (6 have aired so far) so there’s plenty of Boom to go.
Cartoon Network has a habit of doing this though. It makes things more difficult for us obviously but for the show it’s a good sign. Why? They’re seeing value in it. They do this for their original programming as well. For Sonic Boom to have that treatment is a sign that the channel likes what the show is doing with ratings and wants to milk it as long as possible. If not they’d try to rush out all the episodes.
In other words it has gone this route because CN likes how the show is doing.
Only 1 new episode per week?
But… Fuzzy Puppies! 😛
The one episode a week thing works for Steven, mostly because it’s had heaps of advertising and plenty of episodes have been/are being made. I don’t see it helping Sonic Boom, which has pretty much no advertising for the show on CN and has a graveyard morning slot.
I’m glad to see my fanbase hard at work discussing how I would feel about news I otherwise wouldn’t har seen if it had not been for a friend.
Do I really take time out of your day for you to worry about how I “feel” about things? Does my hatred” of Sonic alarm you so deeply that you must make entire comment chains dedicated to your frustrated admiration for me? I think it does.
Still waiting on actual numbers. If you morons are willingly capable of deluding yourself into believing that a blacklisted 7am cartoon that has no competition and is snagging the number 1 spot by DEFALT means it is a smash success, go ahead. Your childish denial will do nothing but prover me right in the end as it did with the games. Please continue how I spew “vile hate” . God forbid you actually disprove the points I make in my other posts.
I must say I find it morbidly cute that I am practically offending hypersensitive children….and laugh each time I do so xDDDDDD
Now like I said, if you want me to shut up and admit I am 100% wrong, give me respectable numbers. Until that moment, continue your hushed, worried murmurings about me. If anything it furthers my attention which I could actually use. In hindsight, thank you actually.
Ah, that was the colossal, hideous scraping noise I heard just now; you forcing your ego through the door to spew yet another hate-filled rant.
Hi 🙂
My ego?
Hate?
What ego?
What hate?
Decalring that I would like actual number estimates isn’t hate at all. I would like substantial proof before declaring a show a success or otherwise. If 1 person watched Sonic Boom last week but 2 people watched it this week, you could say thst viewership shot up by 200% and that would be accurate but the NUMBERS show that it isn’t half as impressive as it sounds. This is why the numbers matter and I assumed you all understood this but alas, I foolishly ignored the sage advice of Mike Pollock: “When you assume, you make an ass of you and me!!!”
One for the books indeed.
If I was one of the few people that wants to see Boom succeed, I would actually be advocating the revealing of the numbers since I would want to confirm if Boom is doing well….but it seems to me people here either don’t understand how little these percentages mean or are willing to fool themselves into thinking that Boom is doing fantastic because “lol percents with big numburs=success!!!”
Who in their right mind would think that a show, blacklisted for 7am and already slowing up on airing new episodes, is doing “great”?
Certainly not you of course. Your finely tuned critical thinking skills are far too sharp and accute to swallow such hogwash.
Hi there.
You really are too easy to wind up, y’know 😉
Anyway, all things aside, I agree: the raw numbers would be worth seeing. A point I’ve made before, I think, last week. Funnily enough, agreeing with you then too 🙂 Thing is though, where would you look to find those raw numbers? CN aren’t releasing them (unless they’re hidden somewhere and we just haven’t found them yet), and I can’t think of anyone else who would have those numbers to hand. All we have are the percentages, and the fact is they look good. At the end of the day, an increase in viewing figures is an increase in viewing figures, and Sonic Boom is part of that, whether you like it or not. No-one’s asking you to throw a party, just to be a little less objectionable 😛
Spam filter strikes yet again…..admin plz halp
I have to admit that was actually pretty funny
Found, unflagged, and approved. It should be visible now.
RaceProUK x 100Rings = My OTP.
Gahd no! LOL XD
Eh, could be worse 😛
That’s nice
It’s probably only #1 because it doesn’t really have any significant competition at that time slot. It isn’t really something worth being proud of, imo. It’s still on a graveyard slot.
Despite our differences in opinion, Merry Christmas everyone!

PS: As crazy good as they appear, these deals are the real deal of the decade and very likely several decades at least. 320 KBps, DRM free MP3s courtesy of, big surprise, Bill Gates and company. For me, there’s the top albums from U2, Evanscence, Led Zeppelin, John Lennon, Eagles and that’s just scratching the surface.
This is no joke. This is Hifi, in the flesh, who has commented about Sonic Boom these last few weeks. I’ve chuckled to death with everyone from the cartoon, now six episodes in… OK. Enough confirming that I’m not an idiotic spambot. I am still awestruck by the sheer cost Microsoft must have put into this freebie of freebies. It makes short work Apple’s silly U2 mass giveaway a few months back, that’s for sure! Enough flapping my gums. Enjoy!
I’m glad I occasionally browse old news, this looks great from what you posted. Gonna have to check out the link when I get to my computer. Thanks dude.
Thanks for shilling some awful music for absolutely no reason, dumbass. Really proves you aren’t a spambot or mentally ill.
Because sharing a good deal on some music is such a crime…
@RaceProUK: Does it work for you, at least? I notice that you are presumably in a region outside of the US where the deal may not be valid. It would be cool it did! I hope it was useful for someone. 🙂
Haven’t tried, probably never will. But thanks for sharing anyway 🙂
100Rings, who we all thought for the longest time was the real villain all the while was a good guy and, meanwhile, Josh was concocting the real diabolic schemes…
That’s a real shame, dude. I will admit that I don’t like most of the top 40 band albums they have listed, but there is practically something for everyone in the lineup of free albums, even for me. If you believe your tastes are too refined, know that Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Buena Vista Social Club and Nolan Jones are pop music staples in even the most elite and posh of audiophile circles.
Whatever, I don’t care about this cartoon. I think the writing is atrocious but as long as kids like it and aren’t have their opinions marred by the shit-smears that are the Boom games I think it’ll be okay.
I enjoyed the first 2, hated 3 and 4, and thought 5 and 6 were ok.
