HE-MAN Premiere Masters Ratings on Cartoon Network
Feature Film Prequel Scores as Highest-Rated Friday Program in Its Time Period among Key Male Demos

DragonBall Z Also Leads Weekday "Toonami" Action-Adventure Block to Double-Digit Ratings, Delivery Increases

The return of cartoon superstars from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (Friday, 4-5:30 p.m.) proved their ratings strength remains powerful, particularly with male viewers. The original 90-minute movie special, which set the stage for the all-new weekly half-hour series premiering Friday nights at 6 p.m. starting Aug. 30, scored as the highest-rated program on all cable in its time period among boys 6-11, boys 9-14, men 18-24 and all viewers 12-24.
Highlights of the movie's ratings and delivery growth among key demographics vs. the same time period last year are
noted below:

" Boys 9-14: 4.2 rating (up 45%), 405,000 delivery (up 59%)
" Boys 6-11: 4.7 rating (up 15%), 458,000 delivery (up 29%)
" Men 18-24: 1.4 rating (up 1,400%), 132,000 delivery (up 4,300%)
" Tweens 9-14: 2.7 rating (up 29%), 491,000 delivery (up 34%)
" Kids 6-11: 3.0 rating (up 3%), 552,000 delivery (up 12%)
" Viewers 12-24: 1.5 rating (up 150%), 552,000 delivery (up 160%)
" Adults 18-34: 1.0 rating (up 233%), 472,000 delivery (up 278%)

Action programming was hot throughout the week as well on "Toonami," the network's weekday afternoon action-adventure block (4-7 p.m.), whose overall ratings with tweens 9-14 (2.9) grew by 45 percent and delivery by 53 percent. DragonBall Z (M-F, 6:30 p.m.) was the highest-rated show in the block among tweens 9-14 (4.3, up 105%), boys 9-14 (7.3, 135%) and kids 6-11 (4.1, up 17%). Delivery among the same demographics grew by 199 percent, 160 percent and 26 percent, respectively. Brand new episodes of DragonBall Z are scheduled to premiere this fall on Sept. 16.
In other ratings news, Cartoon Network was #1 for the week in prime time delivery of kids 2-11 (1,119,000) and kids 6-11 (670,000).

Yeah, I seen it, it was very good. It took me back to my childhood smile I'm glad they didn't make it different from the original. Also on Cartoon Network, they're showing a similar 'Transformer' Cartoon. I missed it. It's called Armada, I have to check and see if I can catch a repeat.
