Notice the resemblance on the left?
Amidst the candy and costumes flying off the shelves, the kids getting more excited by the day, and the parents getting their rest now (because they won't once their kids get all the sugar), this is The Numbers Game! Welcome to the newsletter section that breaks down the numbers of our favorite show.
"Druselsteinoween" kicked off the show's 2013 Halloween offerings on Friday, October 4. 2.645 million viewers packed into the castle, a 4 percent increase from two weeks prior behind a 1.6 household rating, good for 8th among Disney Channel programming on the week. Phineas and Ferb found its way back into the Top 10 among Kids 2-11, as it ranked No. 7 on a 4.2 rating in the age group. Among Kids 6-11, this episode was No. 8 behind a 5.6 age group rating. And finally, among Adults 18-49, viewership rose by 8 percent to a 0.31 rating.
Another giant floating head?
It was followed the next night by the "Terrifying Tri-State Trilogy of Terror". Despite the unusual timeslot and the ominous title, 3.022 million viewers summoned the courage to watch it, a 14 percent increase over the previous night. Accordingly, the household rating went up a tick to 1.7, and it was Disney's top animated program of the week in the 6th spot. Viewership among Kids 6-11 rose by 2 percent to 5.7, good for No. 7 on the week, while Kids 2-11 viewing fell by 1 percent to 4.1 and the No. 10 ranking. Much of the overall difference came from Adults 18-49, whose viewership shot up a whopping 53 percent (!) to a 0.48 rating.
As for "Face Your Fear", The Numbers Game needs to face its fear of that scary performance, so that one will have to wait until next issue. Until then, leave your thoughts in the Comments, stay safe out there on Halloween night, and remember...that the numbers never lie.
