 (Updated: 1/9/13) I have just one question: How in the name of Doggie Cruger does the clip-show Christmas special get 21.5% MORE viewers than THE SERIES FINALE? Neither got any promotion, so that's not it. More proof that there's no sense in using logic in figuring how/why these numbers move the way they do.
But, regardless of the reason, I guess an increase of 21% is what you'd call momentum. Too bad those 2.065 million viewers weren't given the first glimpse into what's coming this year. The lack on on-air promotion is the biggest obstacle to this franchise drawing a good, steady audience. My concern remains that they have very little of a core audience to take into Megaforce. The fandom can only do so much and, essentially, we're just preaching to the choir. It's the other viewers -- the ones who watch the other shows and those who only know what Nick puts on their TV screens -- that need to be brought into the fold. From everything I'm hearing, Megaforce will be worth the while.
Here's the final Super Samurai viewer chart:

LOST GALAXY on CW: A new dynamic with the ratings arises with the airing of PRLG on the Vortexx block on the CW. The ratings need to be reported and tracked but not to the same extent as the in-season incarnation. I don't think I'll do graphs for this, but will do the chart and will start another list below to show how it compares to the ABC Kids years.

(Updated: 1/9/13) We're facing another potential loss of ratings information -- this time with PRLG. You know when Nick moved PRSS to 1:00, it was moved out of the time block for which Cynopsis:Kids! reported Saturday ratings -- hence ending PROAC's ability to keep track? Well, Cynopsis:Kids! now has a new editor and it has moved from daily to weekly publication. What's still unsure is whether the Saturday morning ratings, which have been a stalwart of the Cyn:Kids! effort since its beginning, will be continued. I hope not!
Here is the archive of previous series and ratings info. For reference's sake, if nothing else:
