How do we collectively /individually get RPM's ratings to increase on a larger level?

I posted this on Henshin Justice.

I'm of the of the opinion that with high enough ratings, RPM could save the PR franchise. But the ratings have to be really, really high for this to happen. Now what could we do to make sure the ratings get to that level? The link below is along the lines of what I'm thinking. Make sure to read it carefully.

Now, that's in regards to a comic book.

How do we apply this to a TV show?

Get a Nielsen box and leave your TV on at 5:00 A.M.?

If that's even how that works. I don't know how you'd get a Nielsen box.

Effective ideas are vital since it appears not all the affiliates are airing the show.

Here was my second post in the above-mentioned thread:

You cannot save the franchise. Sorry.

If I wanted to read a copy-and-paste from HJU, I'd go to HJU.

Awesome idea. . . in theory.

The fact of the matter is its WAY to hard to do it especially with this season. Half the people either get it at ungodly hours or like myself dont get any airings of RPM at all. Disney airing it on ABC kids is basically its "putting it out to pasture" if you will. The milk is all dried up but you can still look at it until it dies.

Its really a shame we cant save it. But i mean who knows someone could pick it up. Until that day were just going to have to choke back our tears and see where life takes us.

I'd use a programmable vcr but there'd be no nielson device in it.

What about the idea mentioned here?

You wanna boost ratings? Watch the show. If you can't, then force people who can to watch it.

This thread is basically about how to get more people to watch it.

Promote it? Post flyer? Word of mouth? You can't MAKE people watch something but you can suggest it and hope for the best....but I think it's time to accept it. The Mouse wants PR dead and it shall be so.

MegaRed · 03-13-2009, 08:59 AM

Like I said, force them.

Sneak into your friends homes and force tune their converter boxes to show RPM while they're sleeping.

Pay them to watch it.

Um...hold their car keys ransom.

PlayingMonk · 03-13-2009, 09:02 AM

I can probably do that. I already force my friends to watch SpaceTree and Case Closed, I could probably make them watch RPM as well.

TheFireMan23 · 03-13-2009, 09:13 AM

We can't save Power Rangers, the show has been cancelled. We can't do anything about it. Not everyone has ABC Kids. And airing at a 5am doesn't help much.

BurgundyRanger · 03-13-2009, 09:21 AM

Find people who have ratings boxes. Pay them.

inferno19 · 03-13-2009, 09:21 AM

Break into every house in your area and turn on their tvs, on mute of course, to abc kids. Also break their remote control or steal it, most people now days are too lazy to change the channel by getting up so more than likely they would just watch whatever channel its on.

PlayingMonk · 03-13-2009, 09:22 AM

Where I live it airs from 12:00-1:00PM on Saturdays. I had no idea it was airing at such ungodly hours most everywhere else.

Yeah, and if anyone found out about that it would invalidate the ratings anyway.

Silver Ranger Angel · 03-13-2009, 09:33 AM

You have to convince the people that have Nielson Boxes & the people who do written reports to Nielson Media to watch the show.

A good way to do it is look around collages, they've had boxes added within the past few years, so see if you can spark their nostalgia.

Seriously though, Disney is done for the moment with PR.
