What was the highest CN ratings ever?

[Freak]

What was it and how much total viewers did it get. I really don't care about the Kids 2-11 thing. :sweat: Just the total.

I too think it was Star Wars. They even said that on tv, right?

[XDogg]

Yeah, they also said it on TV promos and commercials.
I Don't get why CN spending All that money on Star Wars.:shrug:

[PalmelaFC]

I Don't get why CN spending All that money on Star Wars.:shrug:

Maybe they want it to have a lot (a lot a lot a lot:p) of sucess!

[Racattack!Force]

I Don't get why CN spending All that money on Star Wars.:shrug:Because its a viable commodity that already has a large fan base within their target demographic (Tweens 9-14) and has decent mainstream popularity. :shrug:

[Dr.Pepper]

I think that DBZ was their highest rated show on average.

[peterg14]

I Don't get why CN spending All that money on Star Wars.:shrug:

It gets really good ratings, the best ratings the network has ever had. Don't you think it was worth it?

Star Wars: The Clone Wars was the network's most-watched series premiere.


It was the network's most watched series premiere, but are you sure it was the network's highest rated show ever?

[PalmelaFC]

It was the network's most watched series premiere, but are you sure it was the network's highest rated show ever?

Nice...

But still i think currently Star Wars it the network's highest rated show... that or Total Drama Island...

[chdr]

It was the network's most watched series premiere, but are you sure it was the network's highest rated show ever?I think the TDI finale was the network's highest rated telecast, beating out a new episode of PPG way back in 2000.

[soundmonkey44]

In the Old Days Toonami (mostly because of DBZ) & the Cartoon Cartoon Fridays brought in the highest CN ratings

Now Clone Wars & TDI Are the Highest rated shows on CN:D

& Naruto Brought in ratings Till the Fillers Started & CN pushed it under the rug after Toonamis Death..(wich sucks cause I Like the fillers. :( )

[Racattack!Force]

It was the network's most watched series premiere, but are you sure it was the network's highest rated show ever?Not sure. I can't find any recent information on that.

EDIT: It was the season finale of the animated reality show Total Drama Island.

[J'onn J'onzz]

I think Alien Force was the #1 premier, until Clone Wars passed it up?

[chdr]

I think Alien Force was the #1 premier, until Clone Wars passed it up?First it was Chowder... then Alien Force... then HHT... then Clone Wars... then TDI...

Wow, CN keeps raising the bar.

[Mickialla]

First it was Chowder... then Alien Force... then HHT... then Clone Wars... then TDI...

Wow, CN keeps raising the bar.

Clone Wars premiered AFTER TDI. But if you mean that TDI broke the highest ratings for an episode after Clone Wars broke the highest ratings for a series premiere, than yea.

Clone Wars is definitely not the network's highest rated show ever. YAH is just doing average right now, and that includes Clone Wars. It did have the highest rated series premiere in the network's history, but that's it. TDI had the highest ratings for a single episode with the series finale like Cheddar said, and, though it gets consistently high ratings and is currently their biggest hit (watch the CN music video on TV), it's not their biggest hit ever. I'm not sure what show that title belongs to, but I think DBZ did get their highest ratings consistently. PPG might've held that title too for a while.

[DarthGonzo]

I think the Clone Wars premiere did well simply because it was Star Wars. And it brought in an audience of fanatics who otherwise didn't give a two spits about anything else airing on Cartoon Network. My guess is only a fraction of those fanatics have stuck around to continue watching the show since nothing Lucas ever puts out nowadays can satisfy them.

I'm not sure if I am right but I remember seeing on an old ratings thread a couple of weeks ago that said Courage The Cowardly dog had the most watched series premiere on Cartoon Neetwork.

[Racattack!Force]

I'm not sure if I am right but I remember seeing on an old ratings thread a couple of weeks ago that said Courage The Cowardly dog had the most watched series premiere on Cartoon Neetwork.Yeah, that might have been true. But many series have premiered since then. :sweat:

[Old School Toon]

I'm pretty sure it was DBZ overall since it was announed that the show had over 50 million viewers on Toonami in the old DBZ promos when they still aired "new" episodes but I think that was World Wide and not just those Neilsen Boxes. Also DBZ is currently the only CN show ever to break into the top 50 and top 25 most watched cable shows. Now it's top shows are TDI and Clone Wars but Clone Wars more or less got it's ratings because it was Star Wars.

[Mesousa]

I always love it when someone reminds me about the TDI season finale ratings. ;)

Those are some pretty awesome ratings that Race Against Time got, but it's a movie, so...

[Cartoon1]

What do you guys see in Clone wars?? I hate that show worse then I hate Ben 10 AF

[warnerbroman]

What do you guys see in Clone wars?? I hate that show worse then I hate Ben 10 AFto qoute "Obi-Wan,Yoda,Skywalker!, General Grevious..."

[PalmelaFC]

What do you guys see in Clone wars?? I hate that show worse then I hate Ben 10 AF

Then what shows do you like on Cartoon Network?

[Cartoon1]

Then what shows do you like on Cartoon Network?

TDI, 6teen, Chowder, Flapjack, Adult swim, Action flicks.

Ben 10 and The Secret Saturdays are not the only shows on CN.

[gtadbzman]

Come on, we all know Wullin Worriors got the highest ratings :p . I want to say DBZ was probably CN's highest rated show.

[Mini Garbonzo]

Come on, we all know Wullin Worriors got the highest ratings :p .
I actually watched that show...and enjoyed it somewhat........:shrug: guess that says something about my prehubescenthood...

[peterg14]

What do you guys see in Clone wars?? I hate that show worse then I hate Ben 10 AF

It's not really all that great to me, but it does put butts in seats, so you have to give them credit.

[Super Sonic]

TDI, 6teen, Chowder, Flapjack, Adult swim, Action flicks.

Ben 10 and The Secret Saturdays are not the only shows on CN.

I like TDI, 6teen, Chowder, Flapjack, [as], and Action Flicks too. I don't like TSS, Clone Wars, or Ben 10: AF very much, but I'm glad they're earning their place on the network by bringing in good ratings.

[Freak]

I don't know why guys started saying premires. I just wanted to know what the most viewed episode or movie CN EVER aired. I heard it was the new Ben 10 movie.

[Mugsy]

I Don't get why CN spending All that money on Star Wars.:shrug:

Wellnit paid off didn't it?? Largest debut ever, very good ratings and room for other outlets of making money. Smart move CN...

[ImFromTheMoon]

TDI, 6teen, Chowder, Flapjack, Adult swim, Action flicks.

Ben 10 and The Secret Saturdays are not the only shows on CN.

Yeah, but they are the only action shows. It sounds like you are just a bigger fan of comedy than action/drama...is that correct?

Clone Wars is shaping up to be the best animated adventure series I have ever seen. Beautiful animation, great action sequences, fun stories. What more can you ask for?

[Mugsy]

Highest rated premier = SW: CW
Highest rated finale = TDI
Highest rated movie = Ben 10: RAT

[Mesousa]

Yeah, but they are the only action shows. It sounds like you are just a bigger fan of comedy than action/drama...is that correct?

CN was originally meant for comedy, so there you go.

[Blackstar]

CN was originally meant for comedy, so there you go.

'Tis true. Originally, the hour long Super Adventures was the closest thing Cartoon Network had to an action block before Toonami debuted in 1997.

[Racattack!Force]

Frankly, wasn't comedy most people thought all animation was good for when the medium first "debuted" in the early 1900s?

[Master Moron]

I like TDI, 6teen, Chowder, Flapjack, [as], and Action Flicks too. I don't like TSS, Clone Wars, or Ben 10: AF very much, but I'm glad they're earning their place on the network by bringing in good ratings.

If you don't like them then why are you glad they're getting ratings?

[Mugsy]

If you don't like them then why are you glad they're getting ratings?

Financial security for the network maybe?? I'm the same way with video games.take the DS, my favorite games are not the ones most people buy, but the kiddie games come out and sell a ton and it's good to see because it make the system more attractive to developers with the units of systems in peoples hands. It's bittersweet really...
