Welcome back to another edition of Ratings Quick Beam, where I give you a small dose latest ratings info for your favorite lantern media. Another episode of GLTAS has passed, so lets see how it did.
Finally some consistency! Unfortunately Green Lantern: The Animated Series doesn’t rise this week, but given Cartoon Network adding Ice Age to its schedule, a standstill is pretty good. The show did lose some more viewers this past weekend going from 1733 P2+ rating last week to 1709.
Earlier this week, Cartoon Network toted that their Saturday morning action-adventure line-up of Beyblade: Metal Fury (8 a.m.), Pokemon BW: Adventures in Unova (8:30 a.m.), Ben 10 Omniverse (9 a.m.) and Star Wars: The Clone Wars (9:30 a.m.) each ranked #1 in their respective time periods among boys 9-14. As you can see from the chart above that there is a sharp drop off in the amount of viewers from Star Wars to GLTAS’s DC Nation counterpart, Young Justice: Invasion. I find that very weird, especially because Young Justice was so far ahead of Star Wars just last week. Another question on my mind; the shows are only separated by GLTAS, so why isn’t GLTAS just as high?
What’s driving these viewers away for 30mins? Granted, GLTAS is still doing respectable numbers, but why isn’t it doing better? We can’t blame Nickelodeon like we could last year. That network still airs repeat episodes of (the super unstoppable megahit) SpongeBob SquarePants and does so during Young Justice as well. Maybe GLTAS suffers from the parents? Maybe parents, at 10amET, are finally tired of cartoons and just want to watch CNN or their local news channel, but only for thirty minutes because the news is depressing and there’s a screaming kid yelling in your ear about missing all of DC Nation.
Yeah, I’m reaching.
P2+ (000): Viewers, in thousands, aged 2 years or older.
