User blog:Ryan Stoppable/The Numbers Game: Ratings Sweetness?

In the midst of a very exciting time in The Numbers Game history, we are proud to present Volume 59! This is the blog that breaks down the numbers of our favorite show, and notably, won't be suspended for the next sixty-odd games.

Phineas and Ferb returned to the new airwaves on Friday, July 5 with "Knot My Problem / Just Desserts". 2.642 million viewers got tied up in the new episode, good for a 1.5 household rating ; despite the song urging otherwise, this was a 15 percent decline in viewership from the previous week. It was Disney Channel's No. 4 program on the week, behind its lead-in Jessie and two airings of Enchanted.

With the holiday week leading to weaker-than-usual schedules, Phineas and Ferb shined among its target age groups. It was No. 2 on the week among Tweens 9-14 with a 4.3 rating, trailing only its lead-in Jessie. Among Kids 6-11, the new episode scored a 5.4 rating to check in at No. 3 (also trailing Austin & Ally). Among Adults 18-49, however, the show was not so lucky, suffering a 20 percent decline to drop to a 0.4 rating.

Phineas and Ferb returns to the new airwaves on Friday, August 2 at 9:00 PM Eastern (8:00 Central) with "Love at First Byte". Just one segment this time, but that's fine - after all, you will all be watching the Gravity Falls SEASON FINALE at 8:30, right? Right? Anyways, The Numbers Game still has one more episode to cover before then. Until then, don't get suspended, follow @RyanStoppable on Twitter, and remember...that the numbers never lie.
