 (Updated: 1/12/2017) The first part of the new-year catchup is getting the PRDSC numbers finalized and a new season-by-season chart down below. The biggest observation for this update is .... (drum roll) .... for the first time since PR moved to Nickelodeon, there was NO POST-HIATUS EROSION! DSC also almost duplicated PRSM's feat of having a higher average viewership than its non-Super counterpart, but I think the uniqueness of PRSM (past powers, all those keys, a sprinkling of guest Rangers) was in play on that. The post-hiatus increase even came with one of the October episodes being the 2nd-LEAST watched premiere episode in the six years PR has been on Nick.
There's no denying that one of the biggest factors in what weeks do well and which ones don't is the simple reality of having an episode of Spongebob (new or rerun) in the 11:30 a.m. slot. I'm not going to crunch Sponge vs. non-Sponge numbers but trust me, I've noticed a decided correlation.
The 2016 graph focuses on how DSC does as compared to the Dino Charge season of 2015. The numbers across the bottom are out of order because the Halloween episode has a production number of 21, even though it's shown between 14 & 15 in October.
Here's the 10 most-watched and 10 least-watched new episodes since PR moved to Nick. Sadly, we have three PRDC episodes out of 14 already on the right-hand side of this chart:

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)
