| - Following a pair of "sneak preview" episodes in 2007, Phineas and Ferb made its official series premiere with "Flop Starz" on Friday, Ferb-ruary 1, 2008. 3.987 million viewers wanted to see what all the chatter was about, good for No. 16 on the then-Cable Top 20. It would take over a year and a half, until the Season 2 episode "The Baljeatles / Vanessassary Roughness", for that figure to be topped. It ranked 3rd among all Disney Channel programming on the week, lagging behind Friday evening and Saturday afternoon airings of The Incredibles.

| - Following a pair of "sneak preview" episodes in 2007, Phineas and Ferb made its official series premiere with "Flop Starz" on Friday, Ferb-ruary 1, 2008. 3.987 million viewers wanted to see what all the chatter was about, good for No. 16 on the then-Cable Top 20. It would take over a year and a half, until the Season 2 episode "The Baljeatles / Vanessassary Roughness", for that figure to be topped. It ranked 3rd among all Disney Channel programming on the week, lagging behind Friday evening and Saturday afternoon airings of The Incredibles. The new cartoon also performed very strongly within its target age groups. Among Kids 6-11, Phineas and Ferb scored an 8.2 rating, good for No. 3 on the week behind Super Bowl XLII and the above-mentioned Friday night airing of The Incredibles. It checked in with a 6.4 rating among Tweens 9-14, edging The Suite Life for No. 3 on the week and also setting a new record for an animated cable premiere. Looking at the Disney Channel schedule, there does not in fact appear to be a new Phineas and Ferb scheduled for Platypus Day weekend. As a result, The Numbers Game will be heading back into the archives next issue. Until then, leave your comments down below, and remember...that the numbers never lie.
