I saw you say that the viewing numbers are better than ever but what exactly are we comparing here? The total number of streams the season has gotten? The individual episodes? The whole series? And are we just looking at the TV ratings of episode premieres or are we including the people who bought it on iTunes (throwback to when we got before the dawn in the top 10 and then cartoon network removed it) and watched reruns? I'm just curious if we can really compare it properly because I remember how difficult it was to watch the show live back in the day, the network was constantly putting it on hiatus, sometimes with no warning, and it didn't stream anywhere until it was put on Netflix. I'd sometimes have no idea an episode aired until the day after. And to be perfectly honest, I would watch it on illegal sites and I know I was far from the only one. The show being on HBO Max has made it accessible to a wide audience for the first time, so I'm wondering if it's a true increase in viewership or if it's just finally being collected in one place.
