Sonic Boom TV Ratings – Season 2 Week 20

1. They should’ve kept the episode premieres on Cartoon Network.

2. They need to move Sonic Boom to another network.

3. Christ, that’s a sink.

   Since ratings aren’t, you know, audience quality scores, seems that last week genuinely didn’t impress the number of people who tuned into find out what AskSonicBoomCrew was about. An extra sixty-to-seventy thousand people checking in and not checking back a week later reads a lot like a bunch of people trying something they had been avoiding and confirming why they avoided it, not like simple promotion issues.

   Which makes me quite sad, but there are enough people expressing their displeasure over the Boom brand in general that it doesn’t surprise me. If it weren’t for the drop between Season 1 and Season 2 being so plainly distinct and so plainly tied to a change of network, I wouldn’t even begin to protest…

      That exactly what I have try to explain to the TSSZ staff some weeks ago when they did their article about “why” Sonic Boom get now so low rating, they were on the argument of the “Cartoon Network 100% responsible” , while I was saying that the commercial life expectancy of Sonic Boom was probably near its end and that people simply get tired of it.

      Indeed the last #AskSonicBoomCrew is clearly a proof, people come to see it and they leave… the show failed to retain this audience, we will have to check the next #AskSonicBoomCrew and see if the rating plays again the yo-yo, if yes they, it will probably mean that indeed, Sonic Boom have reached the end of its commercial life expectancy.

      1. Maybe the show’s ratings wouldn’t be low if it was on a more accessible channel, and it got promoted there, too.

            Then explain why the #AskSonicBoomCrew receive a boost of +50K viewer which was immediately lost the next week.
            Those new 50K viewer were aware of the show, did they stay? No, then there is another explanation than the bad promotion only.

         2. Probably because they had no idea that there was a new Sonic Boom episode due to lack of promotion.

      2. “they were on the argument of the ‘“Cartoon Network 100% responsible”’

         Except no we weren’t. SEGA is to blame too.

         The ratings have done this before. They fluctuate wildly. They did it in season 1 (sometimes even worse), and they do it in season 2. It’s a natural thing that happens with all shows.

   2. It’s a natural thing for ratings to fluctuate like this, actually. It happens for other shows too. It jumps up, it jumps down. It’s just more noticible here because Boomerang’s audience isn’t as large, so you can see the drops more clearly.
