And it's tanked toonami too, because Dragon Ball always was above 1 million, now it's under it.

A million and a half viewers for a show on at 11pm on Saturday Night that isn't some kind of college sport is fantastic. And you'll notice the reason it's #2 on that list is because it did the best 18-49 demo rating of the night, only behind the ACC Tournament, which is a special attraction guaranteed to do big ratings.

Even if you look at these numbers as a disappointment, it's by no means a flop.

Apparently, /co/ don't know how ratings work.

There is a reason why Samurai Jack is the second show on that table: the demo is the second hightest of the night.

DEMO is the most important factor in ratings. Total viewers is just a funny anecdote

Demographic is only important if you have a particular way to monetize the demographic better than the others. The young demographic is important because that means more toy sales. The 18-49 demographic used to be important because that's where yuppies with expendable income learn about what cars and gadgets will make their neighbor's jealous. But when they're watching Adult Swim....

So unless Adult Swim has figured out a way to monetize the Kickstarter, twitch donater demographic, I don't think the 18-49 egg is as valuable as the M 12-34 one it's sporting.

And that's why Jack its a success, adult fans are more willing to spend money on it now than they were 10 years ago.

Samurai Jack has been all over the internet these past weeks, its a triunfal return on every way.

You'd have another 50k from online views, but most online viewers,
A: aren't going to deal with Adult Swim's slow streaming service.
B: watch shows when it's convenient for them, not when it premieres; as is the nature of a on-demand service.

idk how you could tally up the online viewers accurately, but I'd bet they'd collectively add another 50%, if you counted everyone who watched it within 3-5 days of release.

After the rampant success of MLP idk why producers are still fighting the internet.

CAble is dying and 1 million viewers is damn good especially when that's only on premiere. For perspective only music videos have ever reached a million views in a single day, in all mediums the money isn't on the initial launch, it's the constant pull of reruns. People are talking like Walking Dead is dying too because its only pulling 1-2 million a premiere but forgetting that the show routinely pulls 1-2 million on every rerun as well.

Low energy Genndy. I say it every night, every afternoon, everyday, and it's so true... Samurai Jack is a mess. Genndy is a waste. CN is a big fat mistake. Even a show about Jeb! wouldn't get such low ratings. Sad!
