 (Updated: 1/12/2020) Old, dusty and maybe even rusty .... I keep plugging! The remainder of the post-hiatus portion of Beast Morphers failed to produce any sort of rebound. In fact, it got worse as we got toward the end. As stated before, this Fall half of 2019 is more about the erosion than the raw numbers. What started out as a somewhat tolerable 9.5% wound up being almost double that -- 18.2%. And that falls square within the range of all but one of the previous seasons on Nick. We all know the reasons, or possible reasons.
I'm revamping the next set of charts. It was blatantly clear that comparing 8 a.m. audiences to noon & 1 p.m. numbers was not a straight-up apples-to-apples proposition. So, I'm returning the bottom 10 chart to what it was before PRBM got moved to 8 a.m. (The top 10 hasn't changed in YEARS) -- and then adding a seperate set of top/bottom 5 for the 8 a.m. era.
Here's the 10 most-watched and 10 least-watched new episodes since PR moved to Nick. The recency syndrome continues as, now, all 10 eps on the right-hand side of this chart come from 2018 and 2019:

I've added the premieres-only audience averages here so I don't have to keep refiguring them. These show how toxic the massive summer hiatus has been each year to viewership. Look at how the average drops each time the new episodes resume in the fall. (Percentage of each year's erosion in red)
