Sonic Boom TV Ratings – Week 4

13 Comments

1. There’s no way to know if Boom is a success but since they never give the numbers I doubt it’s the case. Nobody outside of a very few fanboys talk about it. People are indifferent to that show. it will always be number one in that specific context and without any competition but it won’t hit primetime because the same 20 boys (because it can be 20 as far as we know) wake up to watch Boom/Pokemon.

   that’s what I want to see! I want numbers not percentages that mean nothing. But we won’t because the numbers are surely embarrassing.

   1. It’s not just for Boom they’re not releasing raw numbers; they’re not releasing raw numbers for anything. Not even for prime-time shows. Based on that, it’s just not possible to say definitively whether Boom is a success or not yet. All we can say is that it is a relative success compared to the show in the same slot last year.

      1. I’m talking about Cartoon Network of course; other networks are quite happy to release raw figures, as the linked article shows.

   2. In this exception, Disney naturally is going to release numbers for the TV movie of a cartoon. Remember, it is a part of a franchise that they just invested over $4 billion in. Taking this into consideration, it should be drawing an audience of these numbers as a return for such an investment. Do take note that they only released the numbers for the TV movie pilot and not any of the subsequent episodes. In the movie industry, money talks. For this reason, they have to show the proof in the pudding to investors and the board of directors. This is especially true when Rebels is the primary money maker. Episode VII is still a year away in the horizon.

      As for Boom and other cartoons, however, most networks are just releasing percentages and rankings of their weekly episodes. This is the case for TV by the Numbers, the site SSF1991 is referencing for these numbers. Perceivably, networks aren’t willing to readily produce raw viewership numbers. There may be sources for more than percentages and rankings through paid (possibly extremely expensive) services for the press. Tristan may know of them since he has been in the press and broadcast industry for well over a decade.

   3. 1.2-1.6 million, happy?

      1. Source?

2. Nafareas is such a buzzkill. 😐

   1. 😮

   2. This fandom is way too desesperate when it’s time to create hype. Nobody cares about Sonic Boom; if the numbers were good they’d definitely show them. It’s not the time to pretend Sonic is big; it’s time to make a reality check.

      1. It is an opportunity for him to be big though. Lots of kids watch television, just not so early.

   3. Nafareas is pointing out a valid omission.

      FTFY

3. Sonic boom (game and show) is just a huge embarrassment to a lot of old sonicfans. I hope they don’t continue the Boom series and never work worth BRB.

4. yay!
