Update on how the new Futurama season is doing in popularity on Hulu.
(this was removed by the other board because they're nuts so I thought I'd share here since you know... Scruffy)
First... this is what I noticed 2 years ago for Hulu's 2nd season:
- S2: Premiered on Mondays, ranked near/at the top of the mixed top 15, then dropped slowly, fell off Saturday or Sunday, reappeared Monday. That was the pattern.
- S3 (binge drop): Totally different story. Premiered at the top again, but was gone after 5 days and never reappeared.
- As a comparison: King of the Hill's new 2nd Hulu season last month did the same as Futurama binge last year... came and went after about 5 days.
NOW for this season.
Week 1, Ep1/2 in the mixed Top 15:
- Monday #13,
- Tuesday jumped #6,
- Wednesday #9,
- then fell off the chart.
Week 2, Ep 3 (Scruffy appears): (Remember the rankings come out in the AM so it's based on previous days viewing mostly)
- Not in the mixed top 15 Monday
- Tuesday #8
- Wednesday #10
- off the chart Thursday.
Series Top 15:
- Monday #13
- Tuesday #6
- Wednesday #8
- Thursday #10
- Friday #13
- Saturday #13
- Sunday #12
While not as top level as the first 2 seasons... I think it's not bad. It's charting. Also worth factoring in that Hulu has a lot more popular original programming now filling the top 15 (plus more since being in line with Disney/ABC) compared to 2 years ago... Shards and Furious is hitting it right now.
