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.

Fun Nibbler pilot theory appearance exchange with the writers from a Collider event... seems to answer the question but gets hilariously confusing

COHEN: There was stuff, like we had hidden Nibbler’s shadow in the pilot. I mean, I don't know if this, again, answers your question, but later on that became public knowledge, years later, when we had some backstory about time travel, and then a lot of the fans thought we had gone back and inserted that, and it was only in reruns, but it was always there.

AVANZINO: I will say, you did insert it. I think we had maybe even gotten color back, but we hadn't aired it yet, and it was inserted. It was not originally there, but it was originally there by the time it aired.

COHEN: Yeah, because in between, that's when Nibbler went back in time and changed the picture you were drawing.

GROENING: Wait, wait, wait, for clarity, because you've just confused things, before the pilot aired, it was put in.

AVENZINO: I said that.

GROENING: It was always there.

COHEN: I think we're just fanning the flames of this conspiracy.
