| - The baseball season may be over (NOOOOOOOOO!!!) (and congratulations to the World Champion Boston Red Sox; it's their 3rd in the last 10 years), but the Boys of Summer Vacation keep rolling along. And thus, so do we at The Numbers Game! Welcome to the newsletter section that breaks down the numbers of our favorite show. Phineas and Ferb presented its third Halloween episode of 2013, "Face Your Fear", on Friday, October 11. 2.143 million viewers summoned the courage to see it, a 29 percent decrease from the previous week's "Terrifying Tri-State Trilogy of Terror". Checking in with a 1.3 household rating, down four tenths from the last episode, it was only good for 26th among Disney Channel programming on the week. As a matter of fact, it wasn't even the top Phineas and Ferb airing on the week; that honor goes to a Saturday night episode (a rerun of this one?) that draw 2.243 million viewers (19th on the week). Unsurprisingly, with the lower total viewership figures, the episode failed to crack the Top 10 in any of its target age groups, and thus those numbers are not available. Facing competition from the baseball playoffs along with the usual suspects, viewing among Adults 18-49 dropped by 43 percent to a 0.28 rating. Next issue, The Numbers Game will celebrate the Gazette's important milestone with coverage of November 1's "Cheers for Fears". Hopefully, we'll have bigger numbers to report at that point. Until then, hit up the Comments with your thoughts, make it the best day ever, and remember...that the numbers never lie.
