Viewership for the series second episode the following week fell sharply to nearly half its premiere audience—2.2 million total U.S. viewers and beyond cable's Top 100, which notes "in the grand scheme of things, is still a very good showing - unless you're trying to live up to the media's expectations for a world famous act." E! credits the decline to the premiere of Nickelodeon's hour-long "iCarly" special, "iDate a Bad Boy", which earned 6.5 million viewers. Ratings improved over the following episodes, and the "New York Times" reported, "If "Jonas" can dent ratings for "iCarly" […] the brothers’ sitcom will be considered a big success internally. However, just weeks after its premiere Disney Channel moved "Jonas" and "Wizards of Waverly Place" to Sunday and Friday evenings, respectively, and began airing movies in its old timeslot. In its Sunday timeslot, "Jonas" has been doing well in key kids demographics and averaging 3.4 million viewers.
