Personally, I feel these episodes would be difficult to appreciate without a firm comprehension of the series. The parallel worlds intrigued long-time fans, solely due to their contrast of the world we are normally offered. A viewer unfamiliar with that cannot perceive the contrast as easily ... Hence, the decrease in views and initial interest. Remember that Phineas and Ferb is still fairly new - Across the Second Dimension's debut definitely augmented the series' popularity. But at this point, I think there are only a handful of individuals hyperaware of that self-satirical nature Phineas and Ferb has come to acquire. So, all things considered, I don't think there should be a negative perception of the ratings. All they succeed in affirming is that some fans' support has originated earlier than most. To me, that in itself is really wonderful. :-) (Also remember the vast amount of views received on YouTube!)
