Welcome to the last The Numbers Game of 2013! With just a few days remaining until we'll all be busy with roast beast, frim franglers and zoob zooblers - sorry, I've stopped using words - let's get right to the newsletter section that breaks down the numbers of our favorite show.

"Steampunx" premiered on Disney Channel back on Friday, November 15. A measly 1.703 million viewers entered its brave new world, a 29 percent decrease from the previous new episode "Cheers for Fears". It did so behind a 1.2 household rating, down two ticks from two weeks prior. (As for everyone else, they missed what The Numbers Game thought was a fun episode.) While it was the top Phineas and Ferb airing on the big channel, the viewership ranked only 100th (!) among all Disney Channel programming on the week.

With total viewership numbers like that, Phineas and Ferb was unsurprisingly unable to crack the Top 10 in any of its target age groups, and thus the demographic information is not available. Viewership among Adults 18-49 is also not available, although based on its lead-in Wander Over Yander, they can be estimated around 0.21 or so, which would be a drop of over 30 percent from the previous episode.

Next issue, The Numbers Game is set for a proud New Year's tradition, as we fire up The Year-In-Review-Inator for the fifth time. Until then, I would like to thank the creators and crew of Phineas and Ferb for another year of great episodes, and my loyal readers for giving me a reason to put fingers to keys every two weeks. Also, leave your thoughts in the Comments section down there, and remember...that the numbers never lie.
