The sun may not be shining, and it may not be noticeably warmer. But [[Summer (Where Do We Begin?)|the days are longer, (and) the nights are shorter]]. Welcome to '''The Numbers Game''', the column that breaks down the numbers of [[Phineas and Ferb|our favorite show]], no matter what it's doin' out there.
[[Disney XD|Emoticon]] honored the 4th annual [[Platypus Day]] with a brand new episode, "[[Live and Let Drive]]" on Saturday, March 1. '''407 thousand viewers''' pulled in for the 8:00AM Eastern premiere, good for a '''0.3''' household rating. That ranked '''31st''' among all Emoticon programming on the week, and second behind Sunday's ''Marvel's Avengers Assemble'' among the 8:00AM shows. The rebroadcast at 11:30AM picked up a swankier audience of '''522 thousand''', which ranked '''10th''' for the week. It also owned a '''0.3''' household rating.

In between, the Platypus Day marathon dominated the top of Disney XD's weekly charts, earning four of the top six spots. "[[Where's Perry?]]" at 10:30AM paced the morning at '''706 thousand viewers''' on a '''0.4''' household rating, the '''2nd''' ranked program on the week behind a Saturday afternoon showing of ''Bolt''. It was followed by "[[Agent Doof]] / [[Minor Monogram]]" at 10:00AM, in the '''4th''' spot with '''614 thousand''' on a '''0.3'''; "[[Where's Perry? (Part Two)]]" at 11:00AM was '''5th''' with '''605 thousand''' and a '''0.4'''; and "[[Meapless in Seattle]]" claimed the '''6th''' spot with '''558 thousand''' and a '''0.3''' household rating. Rounding out the marathon, "[[It's About Time!]]" at 8:30AM and "[[Day of the Living Gelatin]] / [[Elementary My Dear Stacy]]" at 9:00AM '''tied for 12th''' on the week, matching up with '''511 thousand viewers''' and a '''0.3''' household rating each.
There do not appear to be any new ''Phineas and Ferb'' episodes scheduled for Disney Channel this month. (Maybe they're saving them all for the eagerly-awaited return of ''Gravity Falls'' this summer?) '''The Numbers Game''' is headed off to watch some spring training baseball, recharge, and be ready to deliver another exciting column next issue. Until then, leave your comments down below, and remember...that the numbers ''never'' lie.
