Looks like Nick might finally have something to worry about from Cartoon Network. Here are the most recent ratings for "Ben 10" and "Monkey" vs. "Spongebob" and "Fairly Oddparents":

Freedom Fighter knows more about this than I do, but it seems to me that this is the first time in a long time that a CN show has come within striking distance of FOP or SB. And it's official, I guess: "Ben 10" is a hit. It's been doing consistently well since its premiere. Couldn't happen to a nicer show. :)

I would have included Robot Boy on your list as well- which is doing a 3.7- as something for Nick to be worried about. I do realize though that you're comparing new episodes of Ben 10, Robot Boy, and basically My Gym Partner's A Monkey (my guess would be the Saturday rating is higher than the Sunday premieres) to reruns of Nick Classics. This shows that classics may be watched, but new shows are preferred more.

That's seriously pathetic, That's what you expect from disney channel, Poor and Pathetic.

To be fair, Ben 10's is close to its Saturday morning average, though Gym Partner's jump is a bit more significant (if I had to guess, about 20% higher than average). Seeing SpongeBob and FOP when on Saturday mornings alone they usually rate around 6.0 or so... that's a case of more kids skipping out on Nick last week then them moving over to CN. I'd say if it's not more of a case of kids just not watching it all, it's some of them are jumping off to other networks... and it's more than just CN, so it's very small pieces.


That's seriously pathetic, That's what you expect from disney channel, Poor and Pathetic.1) Everything pre-10:30 am is 'Playhouse Disney,' which is more concerned with K2-5 than K6-11.

2) The 11:00 'Lilo & Stitch' and 'Buzz on Maggie,' even with 2.4s, still beat every single Saturday morning show the five broadcast networks aired last Saturday. Every single one. Beat both 'Pokémon,' beat 'Raven,' beat the 100th episode of 'TMNT'... beat all of them. That means just counting all of the broadcast networks' programming, they beat 37 shows. 37. That's nothing to sneeze at.

Yes, But it's still pathetic for a channel made by disney, I mean 1.6 for a channel, That's low.
