Knuckles Sets "Record-Breaking" Viewership Performance For Paramount+

Must have been a real challenge to beat the Frasier reboot or the Halo show that everyone hated.
An alright show imo, but it’s not going to retain too many new viewers. Maybe if it actually had Knuckles in the show more, people would be talking about it.

Although I enjoyed it well enough, all I really want from Paramount is oodles and oodles of Star Trek. Anything that eats away at Trek budgets is on my naughty list.

@MitchK Wouldn't that make everything then?

Show was a lot better than I expected.
It’s definitely not some people’s cup of tea considering wade steals a good chunk of the spotlight, and that’s understandable.
The marketing did make it seem a lot more serious than it really was (which happened with the movies, so I was expecting this) but the humor caught me off guard. So many genuinely good jokes and jokes so stupid that they manage to work. It has been a while since I laughed this hard at a show. Good time with many flaws.

Compared to Sonic movies this tv series sucked Was expecting something way different. First episode got me hyped but than i watched the rest....

Despite the jokes I make about this show and my obvious issue with there being a lack of knuckles at least wade and the show as a whole was enjoyable and funny, plus we got some little nuggets here and there for part 3.

The series is titled about Knuckles but he's not the real main character, ew.

@JakedaArbok I dont think Frasier or Halo are in the childrens category, which is where this show stole its most watched record

"4 millions hours watched" and ""most-watched" Paramount+ original series of all time in its opening weekend"

I hate that kind of marketing-speech with zero information in it. Did 16 million people worldwide watched 15 minutes of it and then stopped? 16 million people worldwide would not be much and if they stopped after 15 minutes would be poorly for a show.

"most-watched Paramount+ original series of all time in its opening weekend" - yeah, but the next show will be the simply the most-watched P+ original series of all time on a Monday to Wednesday time. And the next one on Tuesday to Thursday and so on...

Only topped by the guy who owns now the bird site and said his site was the number one in "most not wasted hours per month"

I don't have Paramount+. There's too damn many streaming services as is and we already have three subs...

Well, it is Sonic-related. The fanbase of the Hedgehog consumes everything that is related to this IP, no matter how rubbish it is.

The show was alright, the first episode was honestly the best. The rest of the episodes dragged on a lot. Wade’s family stuff was extremely annoying. Didn’t quite feel like a Knuckles show. Glad it did well but also concerned if they think this what we want for future Sonic spin offs. I want more focus on the Sonic characters….

You mean Wade show Knuckles is bearly in it too cringy in my opinion. As fan of Sonic this is disappointing I get you want to do fun show but don't mislead fans market it as Knuckles show then its something else.

@somnambulance

I've been trying to watch Halo but i keep dozing off during the episodes. It's just boring me to death LOL.

@somnambulance the last of us definitely takes the cake for me, even fallout is second to it. Everything else is playing for a distant third

No way am I gonna shell out $6 a month for a halfbaked service that has ads.

@somnambulance yeah I think that's fair, it very much takes the approach of just adapting the video game story rather than a separate story in the same world, with the exception of the phenomenal episode 3. I also see how overexposure to the last of us is getting tiring at this point, would be nice to even have confirmation that a third game is coming!

The show about Wade and featuring Knuckles as a side character?
Yeah, they're not going to retain a lot of their viewers.

Wade's Bowling Bowlarama: Featuring Knuckles is more accurate.

That said, I'm still hyped for Sonic 3 (with Shadow)

So is this made by the same people that did the movies? I liked the movies and would be willing to drop anchor on this if it has similar quality.

I watched the first episode so far and it actually managed to get some genuine chuckles out of me. Not bad, not bad.

@Samalik

Indeed it would! I’m not pretending to be reasonable.

Needed more Julie-Su and the Chaotix
