Phineas and Ferb Wiki
332 - Evil for Extra Credit

He's evil and handsome at the same time.

This is the column that breaks down the numbers of our favorite show, but alas the newest numbers, for "Father's Day" which aired August 22nd on Disney Channel, are nowhere to be found. So instead, we dip into the archives. This issue, The Numbers Game remembers my family's beloved cat Newton (1996 - 2014) and looks back at a couple of episodes where Phineas and Ferb were without their cherished pet.

"Where's Perry?" kicked off 2012's Phineas and Ferb summer event on Thursday, July 26. (The opening ceremonies of the Olympics can be thanked for the unusual night.) 3.733 million viewers tuned in for extra credit, a 14 percent increase over the previous week that made it Disney Channel's most-watched program of the week, good for No. 15 on the Cable Top 25. It also fared well among the target age groups, checking in at No. 3 among Kids 2-11, where it was the top cable show on the chart, and also Kids 6-11. The aforementioned Opening Ceremonies claimed the rare clean sweep of all four youth age groups (Kids 2-11, Kids 6-11, Tweens 9-14 and Teens 12-17), while Jessie took 2nd among the 6-11 set. Phineas and Ferb also ranked No. 8 among Tweens 9-14.

Not just in the 2nd Dimension.

With so many questions left over, "Where's Perry? (Part Two)" came along to answer them on Friday, August 24. 4.293 million viewers found it, making this the most-watched Phineas and Ferb episode of 2012; it sits 5th among standard-length episodes in series history. For that week, it placed No. 12 on the Cable Top 25, although it was 2nd among Disney Channel programming for the week, 3 percent behind No. 9 Jessie. Phineas and Ferb scored a new series high among Tweens 9-14 viewers, good for No. 2 on the week. The new episode also checked in at No. 2 among Kids 2-11 and Kids 6-11, trailing only Jessie in all three age groups.

Phineas and Ferb returns to the new airwaves of Emoticon on Monday, September 29, when the fourth season continues with "Lost in Danville / The Inator Method". That means The Numbers Game will be headed back into the archives next issue. Until then, leave your comments down below, are you ready for some football?, and remember...that the numbers never lie.
