This year’s installment of the Treehouse of Horror series rated 6.52 million viewers, down on Season 23′s Treehouse of Horror XXII (8.01 million) and Season 22′s Treehouse of Horror XXI (8.20 million). It was the least-watched Halloween episode on record (last years was second least-watched) – hardly a surprise given this is also the furthest the Treehouse episode has aired out from Halloween.

Ratings: Moonshine River
A total of 7.97 million viewers tuned in to the Season 24 premiere ‘Moonshine River’. 8.08 million watched last year’s premiere, and 7.76 million for Season 22, so these figures are relatively stable in comparison. It also shows that the season is again starting strong.

Ratings: ‘Ned ‘N Edna’s Blend’ Hits New Low
With just one week remaining in Season 23, last night’s episode ‘Ned ‘N Edna’s Blend’ attracted just 4.00 million viewers – the lowest recorded viewers for a new episode on record.

Ratings: The Spy Who Learned Me
4.74 million viewers watched Sunday’s episode ‘The Spy Who Learned Me’, slightly down on last week’s episode. The episode again joins the bottom 5 viewed episodes of all time, placing at #2.

Ratings: A Totally Fun Thing Bart Will Never Do Again
Sunday night’s episode “A Totally Fun Thing Bart Will Never Do Again” had a total of 4.99 million viewers, up slightly on the last new episode “Beware My Cheating Bart”, but still not high enough to escape the dreaded least-watched episodes list. It sits in equal fourth place with Season 22’s “The Great Simpsina”.

Ratings: Beware My Cheating Bart
Sunday night’s episode “Beware My Cheating Bart” received 4.86 million viewers, down on the previous episode “Them, Robot” and unfortunately, the second least-watched episode on record.

Ratings: Them, Robot
5.24 million viewers tuned in to last night’s episode “Them, Robot”. This is a slight increase in viewership from the previous two episodes.

Ratings: How I Wet Your Mother
A total of 4.96 million viewers watched Sunday night’s episode “How I Wet Your Mother” – placing it as the second least-watched episode on record, of all-time. It’s still a fair way off the lowest of all time, which occurred a month ago with “The Daughter Also Rises”.

Ratings: Exit Through The Kwik-E-Mart
The Simpsons had 5.17 million viewers watching last night’s new episode ‘Exit Through The Kwik-E-Mart’. These figures aren’t breaking any records, but they are certainly down the lower end of the spectrum for not only this season, but the series as a whole.

Ratings: At Long Last Leave
The Simpsons celebrated 500 episodes last night with ‘At Long Last Leave’, and 5.79 million viewers tuned in to share the moment. The mixed opinions in our post titled ‘What Does The Simpsons 500th Episode Mean To You’ suggests that viewers are either likely to have a negative response to the show’s increasing episode count or an overly positive one. But I’m left wondering if the milestone had any effect on the average viewer’s viewing habits at all.
