Re: How Pony is Formed: Production and Business Thread

StatManDan wrote:MLP’s six-week streak at the top of the Hub viewership chart came to an end this week thanks to a New Year’s Day showing of “The Polar Express.” However, “Rarity Takes Manehattan” did take second place with a total of 527,000 viewers which is just 4,000 off “Bats!” from last Saturday. “Rarity Takes Manehattan” does become the sixth most-watched episode of the series (counting the S3 and S4 premieres as one episode each). It is also the fourth successive week that the show cracked the 500K mark in terms of viewership.
Meanwhile, “Blythe’s Big Idea” drew 249,000 on Saturday (down 17.3% from last week) which was good for 25th place this week. The downside was that it was again behind the Saturday and Sunday repeats of “Alligators and Handbags” (both showings incidentally did better than its first-run last week) and 12 reruns of MLP (including 6 of 7 repeats of Season 4 episodes on New Year’s Day). The one-hour drop off from “Rarity Takes Manehattan” to “Blythe’s Big Idea” was a staggering 53%. It goes without saying that the Season 2 viewership for LPS is well off the pace set by the first season. This is the fourth successive week in which the LPS episode that aired the previous Saturday had done better than the first-run LPS episode.

Bla Bla Bla you know how it goes

Well, eventually this streak was going to drop off at some point because All Good Things Come to An End, plus the holidays. We'll see, I guess how it does starting with Pinkie Apple Pie and onwards

Edit: Oh, and CURSE YOU, Santa!
