Viewer ratings for last night’s Animation Domination have been released.
Last night’s season premiere of The Simpsons was seen 8.21 million. This ranked it 3rd on the night behind Family Guy, which was seen by 10.17 million, and the series premiere of The Cleveland Show with 9.42. Fourth was American Dad with 7.12.
Fox was 2nd among adults 18-49 on the night behind NBC with it’s Sunday Night Football.
The ratings are respectable but everything did better that night and I wish The Simpsons could defeat Family Guy sometimes but this is nowhere near cancellation numbers
solid ratings
Screw Family Guy. This episode was a very good one. I’m tempted to say that this ranks as one of my favorites of all time. Season 21 is going to be great!
Im a huge simpsons fan but i was disappointed with this episode it only revolved around homer and comic book guy it should have been involved with other Simpsons characters not comic book guy he’s one of my least favorite characters.
REPLY IF YOU AGREE
THE CLEVELAND SHOW HAD 9.42 MILLION VIEWERS NOT 8.42 MILLION VIEWERS
The numbers were good, but they could be higher. As big of a Simpsons fan I am, FG was funnier last Sunday. THOH XX needs to pull in over 10 million viewers.
Hey Smiles I don’t know what planet you been livin on but there is no way anyone could say that piece of crap season premiere could be ranked in ranked in anything, unless it’s suckiest episodes of all time. I think these ratings will be a sign to come that The Simpsons dominance on Sundays is over. Family Guy was freakin hilarious and even the Cleavland Show was better! Time for Simpsons writers to man up and produce some quality episodes before we loose complete interest.
Honestly, I expected more. I thought that rates will be around 10 million, but this is still not bad for a first episode of new season.
I also hope that THOH will bring much bigger number of viewers, and I think that we will be pleasantly surprised! 🙂
The cynical part of me expected it to be 4 million, so I suppose its an alright figure.
I won’t lie, figures are gonna go down. People see the first episode and as some will stay, people expect to see a good start and won’t get it. I expect to see it in the low 7’s, high 8’s for the next few weeks till THOH.
If I’m honest, Family Guy is starting to become more and more popular around the world and we’ve gotta accept that. Certainly in the USA and thats the way it’ll be certainly until one or either dies out. Though around the world, I do believe it will always remain the best.
And to those say they’ll stop watching/lose intrest, you won’t 😉
family guy was a 8.7
simpsons was a 7.6
the cleveland show was a 7.2
and american dad was a 6.9
Dont know where you’re getting those figures from Marbat, but they’re incorrect.
I think he’s rating the quality of the episodes, not the # of viewers.
I guess because The Cleveland Show was the series premiere, its beating The Simpsons is understandable… since it was good, not great, hopefully it’ll settle down nicely with American Dad in the future.
Could someone tell us which rates are relevant? I don’t really understand the way they can estimate how much people have seen some show…
i was rating the shows on my point of view. not how many people watched it i couldn’t care less how many people watched it.
Hey, Brian – I agree.
good ratings and a good episode
Guys i apologise for not updating about Bart Gets A Z . I’m feeling unwell and am updating this from my bed. Haven’t even seen the episode yet. You can however rate it on our poll to the right.

and good ratings on homer the whooper, though it was the first of the season so was expected to have good ratings. hopefully the rest of the season will be great too!
This Week Oct 4
1. Family Goy 9.67 (Family Guy)
2. Bart Gets a Z 9.31 (The Simpsons)
3. Da Doggone Daddy-Daughter Dinner Dance 8.7 (The Cleveland Show)
4. Moon Over Isla Island 7.06 (American Dad!)
Get well Adam, don’t worry about us, we’ll wait for the new information, and I am really impressed with your enthusiasm about simpsons channel!
Anyway, I saw this episode, and I think that this is one of the best season opening episode in years! Although episode had really simple plot, it had tons of great humor. I am also very happy with the art- There are no more heavy shadows like in the Simpsons Movie, more segments of the show are hand drawn instead computer animated, and all in all everything looks more natural.
If other episodes in this season are as good as this one, there in absolutely no reason for worrying about the future of the show!
