Yes everyone knows that. But it isn't just the number of viewers that bothers people it is the low audience share. The overall number of viewers who watch Cable has gone down over the last few years. If people look at the top 25 for Cable the number of viewers are *way* lower than it used to be. But Nick kept their share of the audience. So, before you needed twevle million viewers to be number one and later you needed seven million. Because overall viewership was down but the same *percent* of people watching stuck with iCarly. If you have a room with 100 people and 50% of the people in that room all watch iCarly that is a similar success rate if you have a room with fifty people in it and 50% of the people watch it. If you just said 50 people watched it this room but only 25 watched it in another it would sound bad but really it is not that significant a difference.

But now iCarly is doing poorly with both raw ratings (which is actually a useless number), the audience share, and their demo.

Spongebob is still in the top twenty-five eventhough their ratings are down. iCarly no longer is.
