| Here's a page for all the numbers geeks out there. Thanks to the invaluable information contained in the pages of John Green's GrnRngr.com Web site, Scott Oldeman's meticulous research on all things Fox Kids and records I've kept since PR's debut on ABC Family, I've come up with some stats of PR's history on U.S. television. The counts include all 30-minute time slots, including specials. (Movies not included). Hope something here strikes your fancy.

 Now that the only PR is the two episodes we get on Saturdays on ABC, the 2009 stats will change -- in a downward direction -- dramatically from week to week.
With that being the way it is, and with the usual amount of sports pre-empts (golf, football, etc.), we're looking at LOWEST full-year total in PR history. (1993 started in August) How about a daily average of LESS than 0.5? Yup. We have the schedules to the end of the year, so why not count what's actually left? Even though the 'pace' above will still decrease according to the math, the 2009 total will stop at a whopping 171.  
And, here's another thing. If all there were for the rest of time were two PR episodes on Saturdays on ABC Kids, you know when ABC would catch up to Fox Kids on the above network chart? Try 2028! (And I didn't bother with pre-empts on that one. Just sayin')
One little FYI about the math I'm using. In the "By Network" section, 'air date' includes only days that had a PR episode on the schedule. So, in a week, that total might only go up by 4 or 5 (instead of 7). And the average will calculated both by the number of 'air dates' and also by the number of 'all days.'
But, in the "By Year" section, the averages (even going back to the years when PR wasn't shown on Sundays -- except 1993, when we'll only start counting from the 8/28 premiere date) will include all 365 (or 366) days of the calendar year.
Now, since I am tying together the remastered MMPR episodes that are coming on ABC Kids with a 'BoPR' count and the like, the chart will go to the 'Remastered MMPR' page as the MMPR numbers will again start to change.
