User blog:Ryan Stoppable/The Numbers Game: Gonna Set the Record Straight

From Shippett Stadium in Springfield, welcome to The Numbers Game! This is Volume 18 of the blog that breaks down the numbers of our favorite show.

Season 3 of Phineas and Ferb premiered with "The Great Indoors / Canderemy" last Friday night, March 4. When it did, 3.306 million viewers were physically attached to their TV sets to watch it, gaining 13 percent from its Fish Hooks lead-in. While this was not good enough to crack the Cable Top 25 for the week, it was No. 1 on cable for its half-hour and No. 2 on the night in Total Viewers behind weekly No. 19 The Suite Life on Deck.

The episode drew a 1.9 household rating (3 share), with demographic ratings of 4.7 (17 share) in Kids 2-11, 1.7 (7 share) in Teens 12-17 and 0.5 (2 share) in Adults 18-49.

This week, Phineas and Ferb is back with "Run, Candace, Run / Last Train to Bustville" on Friday, March 11 at 9:00pm Eastern, following new episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place and Fish Hooks. Hopefully the numbers can rise faster than a bunch of hot-air balloons. Until then, help Phineas and Ferb win its first KCA, follow me on Twitter, and remember...that the numbers never lie.
