RPM vs. Dragon Knight (Ratings Thread)

[Punk]

Ehh, I felt this deserved a thread. There's nothing like good ol' Toku competition.

Last week's ratings:

Power Rangers RPM "Ranger Red" - 0.3/1
Power Rangers RPM "The Dome Dolls" - 0.1/0

:rofl:

Kids aren't fans of girl themed episodes.

Kamen Rider's last week ratings:

CW (TheCW4Kids) 0.7/4 Avg. (7a-12p)
Kamen Rider Dragon Knight 0.5/2

GOD DAMN!! RPM's ratings are that low....AGAIN!

As for KRDK's ratings, 0.5 is not bad, but it could do better.

 

[Matrix]

Damn, RPM's rating keep getting lower and lower it seems. DK is always solid.

Burg posted this on RB:

The statement that KRDK is doing better than RPM is false by every measure you can do:

This chart is a little old but it shows the week-by-week comparisons of the two shows.

​

KRDK got a few 0.9 ratings during the five weeks it was on while PRJF was in play-out-the-string reruns.

But once RPM has started, DK hasn't done better than a 0.7 -- and that's only four times in 23 blue dots I have charted. And it's done better than RPM only six out of 22 times.

I don't know about "every measure." If you measure specific weeks, KRDK does out do RPM.

 

[Poweranimals]

If you measure specific weeks that are in a pretty small minority.

I honestly find is damn funny when people are "RPM GETS BETTER RATINGS" and "NO DK GETS BETTER RATINGS" honestly who cares? I mean unless you are anti-one of the two shows and just don't care to give it a chance.... What do the ratings matter? What matters is enjoying what you like.

In the business world, ratings DO matter. Some businesses are very particular when it comes to ratings.

But when it comes to businesses making kids stuff, toys and merchandise matter more. I don't know how the KRDK toys are doing right now (although I did find less KRDK toys than RPM toys in Toys R Us the other day), but I've read on a news report that Power Ranger toy sales are hurting Bandai.

Still.........

A few weeks, RPM goes down for the count. I think that says a lot for the new kid on the blocks first try, versus the longstanding heavy hitter that's been at the game for about 17 years. :thumbs:
