 (Updated: 12/2/14) Shows how fickle these numbers are. After posting a four-years-on-Nick-low of 1.101 million, the final two episodes leap up to a pair of post-hiatus highs. The finale was fourth-best of the 20 PRSM episodes and was better than all but one of the 22 PRM episodes of 2013. Makes you still stop and wonder how well it could have done had it been better scheduled to capitalize on the immense buzz of last year, when it REALLY WAS the 20th anniversary of the franchise.
When Nick finally got around to showing it, the bloom was long off the legendary rose. The concluding episodes had been shown in at least three foreign countries, encodes were available for those who really wanted to see it and the attention of the fandom had clearly moved on to Dino Charge.
Got the last two numbers, which will be the end of updates to this page. Sure, I could track the two months or so of PRSM reruns during the lull before PRDC starts, but the current state of numbers-reporting suggests a premieres-only focus. So, I'll concentrate on other sections until then. The Sunday morning encore on Nick drew an on-average 944,000 viewers. But my curiosity was much more interested in how well the extended finale presentation on Monday night did on Nicktoons. And it was about what you'd think it would be on THAT channel at THAT time -- 197,000. Can't really envision it getting another showing, mainly because of the 75 minutes it would need. Maybe it comes out as part of the DVD release.
The graph below is now a comparison of the week-to-week numbers for the premieres of 2013's Megaforce vs. what we're seeing now with Super Megaforce. The red and pink lines are for PRSM, and the purple diamonds and yellow line are for PRM.
I COULD revive the previous graph but I feel the absence of 12-16 weeks of info would create a not-truly-reflective batch of information. So, we go with what we have.
Another bout of curiosity has caused me to come up with another chart -- the 10 most-watched and 10 least-watched new episodes since PR moved to Nick. You'll notice a trend.

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)
