Sonic Boom TV Ratings – Week 5
Another week, another ratings report from TV By The Numbers. This one applies to the final new episode that aired before the holiday hiatus began:
Saturday Morning programming (7-11 a.m.) earned year-over-year delivery gains among kids 2-11/6-11 and boys 6-11. Sonic Boom (7 a.m.) and Pokémon the Series XY (8 a.m.) new episode premieres ranked #1 in their respective time periods among boys 9-14. Sonic Boom also won its time period among boys 6-11. Premieres of both series grew average delivery across all targeted demos vs. the same time period last year, ranging from 1% to 52%.
From the sounds of it, the percentages do not seem as high now. Could the ratings have peaked? We may not know for a while. Ratings for the show may not be heard from again until the next wave of new episodes begin. But for now it looks like speculation will reign.

If anyone wants to needlessly complain, just remember who you are acting like:
Merry Christmas!
Why needlessly kiss ass though?
UH EXCUSE ME WHERE ARE THE NUMBERS GUYS?!?!?!?!
Nah I kid, but this is some good news to hear. Glad Sonic Boom is getting ready for a second part of its season.
Still no numbers? Suprising…
Someone sure does a good job of hiding tangible viewership estimates.
Lol vague percentages for 5 weeks in a row?
Lol k then xD
Follow SonoftheBronx, then you’d know why numbers aren’t posted, it’s an estimate of 1.2-1.7 million views since it’s premier
S u c c e s s that’s the way you spell success. Sonic Boom is making a boom

It says it’s ranked 1 in it’s time slot. I don’t see what other proof is needed?
This just in, tens of early riser’s brains are melitng! Find out the cause tonight on a special television exposé at 11.
Seriously though, I just went back and watched an episode of Animaniacs today (I was looking for an old joke) and I was dying laughing at the ACTUAL humor in the show. Even jokes that I know I didn’t get as a kid (which are funnier to me now, imagine that) were made funny by the characters actually having *gasp* CHARACTER. Everything from how they move (with quality animation) to how they talk was sublime and the jokes actually had…wait for it…comedic timing. It wasn’t just “hur, this character is a dumb” or “lol, that’s so random”. Why is there so much slop on TV these days, why do people like so much shit these days?
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Easier to produce shit. That’s why barely watch tv anymore, 95% of programs are poorly made, filled with laugh tracks, shock humor or just a re-do of something good.
I absolutely LOVE Pinky and the Brain and the Animaniacs.
Comedi genius is at play in each of these shows.
There aren’t any numbers for Pokemon XY either. Maybe Saturday morning kid shows aren’t in their radar for some odd reason. At least it’s taking its timeslot though.

Sonic Boom-.998 Million (this must be where the 1% growth comes into play)
Pokemon-1.107 million

For those wondering if Sonic Boom is doing good are failing, it’s doing good.
I doubt Sonic Boom will be a success for long. This is only the beginning of the end. Especially because of its timeslot.
TRUST ME, Sonic Boom will make those 52 episodes. But it will not, it WILL, NOT, EVER, be a phenomenal success, I promise you with all my heart. Kids will lose interest because of the lack of new episodes, and that damn time slot. Pokémon (the show) isn’t that much of a success, either. It’s not these two that are failing, but it’s the fact that the concept of Saturday morning cartoons is coming to a close.
The only kids shows I watch (on television instead of internet) are, actually, PBS Kids shows, simply due to nostalgia.
I have voiced my opinion, see you next article.
I have to agree that you are right on point with your evaluation. I have my heart dead set on getting more than a season or two but I am having a very hard time seeing it actually happening if things stay the same. Like someone said elsewhere, the only way this is going to keeping going is if Cartoon Network makes this their pet show like Teen Titans Go! Otherwise, this is going to be another SatAM which will be shoved aside and tossed away for some other up-and-coming cartoon series.
Eh, Anyways hopefully my wish come true for this show.
