Korra Debut Draws 4.5 Million Viewers

bryankonietzko:

Great news! The premiere made quite a splash. At the core of that huge, unfathomable number was surely a dedicated fan base bugging motivating everyone they knew to watch the show. Thanks for that!

It is certainly good news, but I don’t pay too close attention to these numbers. As long as they aren’t horrible enough to draw the ire of the network, then I just see them, shake my head in wonder, and keep plugging away. It is hard to comprehend a group of people that large. Anything bigger than the 2000 fans at the Comic Con panels is more than my brain can imagine. As long as we get to make the show, and people can access it, then I’m happy.

It’d probably be a lot more higher if all the die-hard fans that had sleepovers for the premier watched the show on their own television sets! XD

But how many of them are actually in the 5,000 or so household TV sets that are tracked to create the ratings? xD If I were one of them, I definitely would have watched Korra on TV anyway so that it would count.
