Full Series Rebels Ratings

It looks like the ratings are resigned to staying where they are, what with being on Disney XD, but I still hope they have high numbers for the channel. It dropped down to ~500,000 for Idiot's Array and Path of the Jedi, but then jumped up to ~700,000 for Vision of Hope! I hope that the numbers increase for Call to Action.

Rebels will continue to pull in 500k-700k on XD, the key is he ratings during Disney Channel reruns.

Yancy

 

Probably the biggest reason for the drop is simply because they took a month or so off.

 

It's very hard to get over the million marker for some reason. TCW did it with the Cartoon Network but for the Disney channel it hasn't been there. In the end though, I don't know if the numbers really matter. I think that this show could pull in a 100,000 viewers and they still are going to air what they are going to air. Look at Hulk: Agents of Smash, Avengers: Assemble, and Ultimate Spiderman the Web-Warriors, their numbers aren't that great but they continue to come out with seasons, so nothing to worry in that department. The only thing that I ask Disney, is that evenly this lowly show, should have a proper ending. Meaning, no more abrupt cancelations for star wars like TCW. People aren't going to go for that in fact, it may turn them off putting a crimp on plans to expand the line. Depending on the content of season 2 and the direction that they may go, I foresee an actual increase in numbers...

 

Will the ratings for Rebels increase after Episode VII? I imagine they will have a trailer for Rebels before the movie much like TCW trailer before TPM 3D.

 

A slight increase perhaps, but I don't think that Rebels is going a huge bump in numbers even it is shown prior to TFA. By the end of the film most people will forget all of the previews IMO. With that said, I don't think that Disney will cancel the show right now. The ratings as they sit right now seems to be about the norm for Disney XD. What isn't really helping the show at the moment is that October is baseball playoffs. At least they got it off of Mondays so it isn't competing with Monday Night Football for viewers and here's hoping that it is a weekly airing of episodes so that people aren't guessing when the show's next new episode will air.

FWIW, I still think that the decision to air Siege of Lothal in the middle of the summer was odd.

edit to add: Also, I think that the viewership watching Rebels has probably stabilized to what it is going to be.

 

I really don't think we need another thread about ratings and the such.

But maybe a slight increase.

 

I merged your thread AmidalaLover because we already have a thread to talk about Rebels ratings and what will/will not effect the show. Next time use the search tab on the top right of the page to make sure that there are no similar existing threads you could post in.

 

The ratings on Disney Channel are 2million+. Shows that it's the channel that's hampering the ratings.

 

Yeah, it is DisneyXD that is the largest barrier. I get they are trying to create flagship programming to draw people in, but for something like a TV show, especially a cartoon, you either already have to be a fan or the show has to be a media hit.

I did notice that the preview video playing at the end of the TFA trailer was for Rebels. Hopefully, some more people saw it that way.

 

Well at least 20 million did.

 

Is everything proceding as you have forseen?

 

Siege of Lothal should have been aired on Disney Channel. Also I wonder if they will reveal any exclusive TFA info during commercial breaks

 

They should. It'd be a great way to boost awareness for the show. If not tonight, maybe closer to release. Have a sneak peek air during commercials to draw in viewers. Look how many people tuned in to football Monday for the trailer. Doing it in conjunction with another Star Wars property is a win-win.

 

Ratings for the Season 2 premiere, "lost Commanders" came out last week... no bueno.

Total of 461,000 viewers; down some 200,000 from the Season 1 viewer average. Ratings for Relics From the Old Republic should be out later today or tomorrow.

Needless to say, dropping some 200K viewers when Star Wars is everywhere in the media, and stores are now flooded with Rebels merchandise is not good. It will be interesting to see how quickly Disney moves to start re-airing episodes on Disney Channel.

 

The main problem is that unlike TCW which played on cartoon network and for particularly dark episodes adult swim even. Rebels doesn't have a lot of options for making the show darker due to Disney's limited number of channels and family friendly MO on all of them. The commercials and bumps on Disney XD are painfully cringe worthy.

 

Ratings for "Relics of the Republic" just hit the wires... up slightly to 536,000 viewers. Still off Season 1's average by over 100k viewers.

 

Good old Palpy should bring in ratings.

 

Palpy won't appear thankfully.

What was SOL's viewership?

 

How is Palpatine not appearing a good thing?

 

It's not needed nor would it make sense for Sheev to appear in the flesh at all.

 

I was thinking something akin to his mysterious appearances along Maul/Dooku etc. late in TCW. We don't see enough of Sheev during the galactic civil war imo.

 

Maybe for the Final of the series he and Vader will say enough is enough and kill them all.
