HSM2 Ratings... :(
From Yahoo! TV news:
Los Angeles (E! Online) - Friday's New York Times advised readers to skip the TV premiere of High School Musical 2 and wait for the soundtrack. But you know how impatient eight-year-olds can be...
Disney Channel's HSM2 was simply huge, averaging 17.2 million Zac Efron-worshipping viewers, preliminary Nielsen Media Research ratings showed, per the network Saturday.
The TV movie set records for all-time biggest basic cable audience (besting a 2006 ESPN Monday Night Football telecast) and all-time biggest made-for-basic-cable telepic (besting TNT's 2001 western, Crossfire Trail), the Disney Channel said.
Overall, HSM was easily TV's most watched show, on broadcast or cable, since the final week of 2006-07 season, topping the summertime likes of The Sopranos finale on HBO (11.9 million) and the season premiere of NBC's America's Got Talent (12.9 million). And according to the Disney Channel, it was the most-watched TV-movie anywhere since the 2005 premiere of the Keri Russell-Skeet Ulrich period drama, The Magic of Ordinary Days (18.7 million), on CBS.
On broadcast networks, TV-movie audiences skew old. On the Disney Channel, the viewers skew young—and, especially in the case of HSM2, big.
The sequel drew more children, aged 6-11, than any TV telecast in modern Nielsen history (since 1991), the Disney Channel said.
Predictably, HSM2 also did well among the high-school-aspiring set, aged 9-14, attracting more tween viewers than any TV show ever, save 2004's Super Bowl.
It was not clear what impact the mobilization of such large numbers of children had on the greater society on Friday night. Historically, or at least anecdotally, big TV events, such as the Beatles' debut on Ed Sullivan, have been linked to drops in crime. There was no word if HSM2 could be credited with bringing calm to the nation's pizza parlors and summer camps.
Also, according to the Disney Channel, there was no way of gauging exactly how many youngsters watched HSM2 owing to an untold number of HSM2 viewing parties. (Nielsen doesn't count heads at such events. Ditto for slumber parties.)
Airing after HSM2, a 15-minute preview of the upcoming animated series Phineas & Ferb (10.8 million) and an all-new Hannah Montana (10.7 million) likewise scored big. In fact, per the Disney Channel, Friday's Hannah Montana now ranks as basic cable's most watched series episode ever.
For the uninitiated, HSM2 is the followup to High School Musical, the 2006 TV movie phenomenon that spawned last year's top-selling album, a concert tour, an ice show and a book line, among other tie-in products.
The original movie remains one of cable's biggest draws, despite airing more than 20 times since its premiere averaged a then Disney Channel record 7.8 million viewers in January 2006.
The new movie starred Hairspray's Efron and duet partner Vanessa Hudgens, both of the old movie, in a tale seemingly borrowed from the third season of Saved by the Bell, i.e., high-school friends take summer jobs, en masse, at a country club.
In its review, the New York Times said there was "much to admire" in the sequel, but also "so much to hate," including, for its taste, too much cast use of bronzer.
The Los Angeles Times was, however, charmed. "To answer your question," its review said Friday, "it's even better than the first one."
Maybe eight-year-olds only get the L.A. papers.

Nick pits Diego against Zac Efron
Is that weird or what? Nick is just asking to get creamed by Disney in the 7 and up demographic.
As for me, I'd rather watch Go Diego Go. xD

Back at the Barnyard on Saturday Mornings?
Nick needs to stop premiering stuff on Saturday Morning. I never wake up early on Saturdays. I hope Nick Friday Night makes a comeback. BatB could air there. Mr.Meaty and El Tigre weren't very successful on Saturdays. Doesn't Nick know that their shows get ratings on Fridays?

HUGE NEWS!!! We now know the fate of Nick GAS!!!!
After lots of speculation, we now know GAS's future! And it's on the internet. On December 31, 2007, Noggin and The N will split in two. Noggin will be a 24hr channel on Noggin/The N's current spot on the dial. The N will take over Nick GAS's 24hr channel. Nick GAS shows will then be made availible on TurboNick, so you don't have to fret over not being able to hear Olmec say "LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE!!!".
This is very surprising. Read the whole news story over at Nick and More!

Welcome to Anything and Everything Nickelodeon!!!
Hello there! I am NickelodeonStudiosFan. I am a poster on nick43's "Nick and More" Forums. Nick and More used to have a news blog here on Blogger but it was closed in July. This is not about schedule updates, though. This is where I do reviews of new episodes of Nickelodeon, and thoughts about whatever it is Nick and their digital channels are doing at the time, and occasionaly Cartoon Network and, very very rarely, the Disney Channel and non-kids networks. I also post on Toon Zone as "TheVofSteel". If you're wondering what that means, it's a nickname for the old closing logo used by Viacom at the end of their TV shows in the 80's. It was just on my mind at the time, being a fan of classic TV closing/opening logos and commercials. So, enjoy reading!!! =)
