That’s a rather dramatic drop. I expected it to be less, but not that much.

Blame the Phineas and Ferb movie (which had 7.6 million viewers). I expect it to go back up a little tomorrow night.

I Forgot that was at the same time, so it actually makes sense.

Probably and hopefully goes up today. Third episode was kinda weak imo, hopefully this will be better!

Ep4 looks quite sharp with a strong theme and return of the tension. Hopefully without F&F it’ll go back up.

no new rating to speak off?

not good.

It does get lower. Hopefully Panthro will save us.

EDIT: Not good? More viewers than the last episode 1.8 Million.

It was the highest rated show on at 8:30 tho. But still, thats not good. I was hoping this show would take off; it still has a good chance tho. …maybe kids getting back into school will help, word of mouth?

Actually it’s not that bad of news.

TC’s added total viewers and seems to be holding a steady demo.

Not bad for a show that’s lead in show isn’t ranking on the list.

It’s not that bad really. I did not think Thundercats would do good this generation but from a starting standpoint it was ok. It went higher up and that’s just good!

lol, I looked at Jersey Shores number with the 1195! lol …thats too many people watching that show with the living human garbage tho! lol

Ye i made the same mistake.

But 1,8 million is great man!

Thank god it didn’t go down, that’s a good sign :smiley:

Yeah, it is. And I’m thinking now that Panthro’s here, the numbers will go back up, especially since the next story’s going to deal with both him and Grune. :slight_smile:

with only a 3 episodes aired so far (I know, technically it was 4, but the first two aired as one) it’s hard to really guess. I think it’ll be easier to tell how successful the show is when we get to the halfway point of the season.

I can say this, a friend of mine at work is watching this each week, and she NEVER watches animated movies or shows. She is about 15 years older than me, which meant she was in her 20’s when the original TC show was on. She had heard of Thundercats, but had no connection of her own to it before, but I convinced her to watch the premier with me and she has continued to watch each week on her own. That, to me at least, proves that the show has broad appeal.

You sly dog…you had a cougar over to “watch Thundercats” http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/vaderplayer/smilienaughty.gif You da man! http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/vaderplayer/smileyrock.gif

I don’t know that much about ratings, what’s considered to be a good solid number for the show to be at in order to avoid any chicken little type panic attacks?

Episodes 1 and 2 were epic and had many viewers. Though episode 3 continued Liono’s emotional development it was not the best and that shows in the ratings. Episode 4 was quite interesting and raised the score again. I’m sure many people will tune in for Panthro this week and then of course for the Tower Of Omens. Don’t be too quick to say the show isn’t doing well. So far the quality has been a lot higher than the original!

Here’s tv.com’s rating:

  1. Sword Of Omens 9.4
  2. Ancient Spirits of Evil 9.4
  3. Ramlak Rising 8.0
  4. Song Of The Petalars 8.7

I’m really hoping this show will go the distance. Right now, there seems to be less and less worthwhile shows on. SyFy just cancelled Eureka, making it one less show that would even make it worthy of being a Science Fiction network (I’m sorry, but wrestling and Ghost Hunters don’t count). AMC also slashed the budget on The Walking Dead and fired exec producer Frank Darabont.:frowning:

Cartoon Network fortunately doesn’t seem to be as badly-run as those networks though (treatment of Genndy Tartakovsky aside). But with the season premiere of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the upcoming Green Lantern series around the corner, I’m just hoping Thundercats doesn’t get shoved aside.
