Hey guys! So I've been thinking about some things regarding the Wiki Channel Shows Leaderboard. I want to pitch a few extra rules.

New Shows. First it involves new shows. A lot of new shows on the leaderboard aren't ranked as high as the other shows, they are generally in the middle or at the bottom. The ranking of a show on the leaderboard determines their ratings right? Well, I don't think it's fair that the new shows are being compared to all of the other shows that have been on much longer. Generally, when a new show premieres, it gets a good amount of views. If people like it, the show usually keeps those ratings up for the next few episodes. But if a new show has like 65 points, then they'd get like 2 million views in the beginning if we go by the leaderboard. But a new show obviously isn't going to have as much points as a regular show, it's new. So I think we should put new shows into their own category. There are different types of new shows, here is what categories I think we should do: hit new shows (Ex: K.C. Undercover), normal new shows that aren't too special popularity wise (Ex: Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn maybe), and then struggling new shows popularity wise (Ex: I Didn't Do It). I think that new shows should be ranked in these categories based on the amount of points they have.
 * New shows with 120 points or more would be considered hit new shows with ratings generally in the high 3 millions, sometimes 4 millions, and the premiere would be above 5 million (how it premiered would impact that).
 * New shows with between 70 and 109 points would be regular new shows with ratings generally in the average 3 million range and the premiere would be over 4 million (how it premiered again would impact that).
 * Then any new shows below 69 points would be considered struggling shows and would just get ratings in the 3 million range, sometimes high 2 million, and then the premiere would be either in the 3 million or 4 million range (again how it premiered impacts that).

Do you guys think these numbers are okay? They may be a bit rough, I just tried to base it off what we had so far. Break Free had 145 points when it started out I think and so I think over 120 would be good for a hit show (but that show had a lot of help since it had a popular cast already). But wait, there's also a catch (ish). After a show has been airing for 2 months, it is no longer considered a new show and must comply to the regular leaderboard rules. So if your show has 120 points and is a hit show, after two months, it's considered just a popular show (or wherever it balances on the board). Do you guys think 2 months is enough time or should it be longer?

Ratings. Austin9393 made a thread about this before but I think we just need to clarify it. He pitched that we should set an amount of ratings that shows in each category on the leaderboard should get. This is my pitch for it:

Do you guys think this sounds good? Please reply soon, thanks! :) 
 * Most Popular: These shows' ratings would typically be in the high 3 millions, specials/hour long events and really good nights would get in the 4 millions and on bad nights they'd be in the low 3 millions (with the occasional high 2 million, every show gets that :p).
 * Popular: These shows typically would be in the lower/average 3 millions (3.3, 3.4, 3.5 ratings like that). Good nights would get in the high 3 millions and bad nights in the 2 millions.
 * Average: These shows typically would be in the 2 millions. Really good nights they'd get in the 3 millions, and really bad nights would see really low 2 millions and sometimes 1 millions.
