Sonic Boom TV Ratings – Week 11
Another week, another ratings report to share. Well another two weeks to be more precise. This one is a first in that we have both percentages for the children demographic and numbers for the adult demographic.
The episode of “Aim Low” scored 1,175,000 adult viewers. This is slightly higher than the numbers “Unlucky Knuckles” got but still keeps up the pattern of 1,100,000+ viewers per week.
As previously stated we also got percentages on the children demographic as well. There are still percentage gains being earned and, once again, they remain very vague:
Saturday morning saw year-to-year gains across all key kids & boys, ranging from +20% to +52%.
At this point it is safe to say that at least 1,100,000 viewers watch Sonic Boom every Saturday morning. It’s still up in the air exactly how many kids watch but if the percentages are any indicator, they’re obviously there.

Why do kids have percents but adults have numbers?!
Is Sega disguising the fact that kids don’t really watch this?
its most likely cartoon network giving them. they once canceled a show because it had more female viewers and they say females dont buy action figures. they seem to only want shows for pormoting toys
That’s nothing new all the 80’s cartoons were based on selling toys, all the great cartoons of the 90’s were great because they didn’t solely exist to be toy selling vehicles. Cartoon Network at some point really wanted to go back to the 80’s though meaning toy sales make or break cartoons, the incredible finale of Batman the Brave and the Bold really puts the mindset of Cartoon Network execs on display. They are absolutely infamous for silently shitcanning shows and leaving the producers of them in the dark for months about it. That darker CG Batman show that Brave and Bold mentions in the finale? Cancelled so fast you wouldn’t believe, that’s right Cartoon Network didn’t see any value in the F’n Batman!
To be fair though, Beware the Batman was terrible and ugly as sin anyways.
They better come out with some freaking Steven Universe toys so that they won’t cancel that. :/
Yup….still a little salty about Young Justice tbh.
On the site TV By the Numbers, this appears to be the protocol that all of the networks seem to follow for animated series–just percentages. It doesn’t really make much sense to me, either, except for the fact that adult numbers hold much more weight than children ones do.
🙂
Can the information be any more vague?
Yes. They could tell us that it is getting views and that’s it. lol 😀
……………………
So essentially we still know nothing.
Alright then.
We know it’s getting views. That’s for sure. It’s also just as vague as it sounds.
All these ratings updates and they’re still as vague as when they started. I’m still holding the belief that adults are keeping this show going until I see some confirmation.
you make a great point Adrian. With out confirmation we should assume that no one is watching this show. Sega is purposely hiding the ratings from the world because they know that only adults are watching this piece of hunk of junk. I bet there doing it to keep the truth from the loyal fans of the real Sonic with tan arms. Your smart to hold on to you’re belief. Don’t let Sega off the hook! If they know people like us are on to them, their going to have to admit the truth. We’ll show them.
Sonic Fan No More
XD Oh yeah, I’m totally being millitant against Boom because it’s betraying those loyal tan-armed Sonic fans. Yes I will continue to believe that there aren’t a large number of kids aren’t watching the show so long as those numbers stay vague. As well as the fact that repulsively childish content was present in Colors and Lost World which both sold poorly. If I and other skeptics here are so unreasonable then show us how wrong we are. Looks like you can’t just yet, in the meantime keep on hoping those numbers are huge.
Adrian,
I don’t think that your being unreasonable. I agree with you. Your right about the fact that only men are watching this show and not kids whom Sega claims it was created for. I was a Sonic fan until this whole boom fiasco. Go back to posts about the announcement of the show. I was against it from the beginning except for a while when the clues looked like it was going to be a cool time travel show. Sega is taking us Sonic fans for granted and it must stop!

Look at which kart/racing game made it to the top of the list! 🙂

Your right GodHand, no kid is going to put up with Sonic having blue arms and Knuckles being on steroids. I bet even the zoo chimps that watch have the mental illness. This show is garbage and junk and trash. I bet anyone hear could write a better show then this one and Sonic would have tan arms in it. I bet thats why Sega is hiding the real ratings.
Sonic Fan No More
First off, Sonic having blue arms and Knuckles on “steroids” is a minor thing. It is not something to get worked up. And once again, no one is mentally ill or a zoo chimp just because they like the show. Saying that he show is garbage, junk and trash is an opinion, not truth. What you think or say is not factual. Just because you do not like the show doesn’t mean it is wrong for others to do so. Plus, it is not the end of the world if someone likes the show while you don’t. Plus, with that said, you are more of a zoo chimp than the ones who like the show, and you are acting more immature as well.
