Remember, with 28 rated days in September, 24 hours in a day and considering that most CN telecasts are 1/2 an hour long, there were possibly over 1,300 telecasts in the month. Thus, the list only covers shows that placed in about the Top 9% or so. A show could fail to make this list and still have good, great or even excellent ratings.

There were approximately 77 Toonami telecasts in the month of September and thus about 25% of those made Cartoon Network's Top 9% list. It was a excellent month for the block, when compared to the overall network, for this ratings indicator. However, it should be noted that these ratings take into account everybody watching Cartoon Network. With regards to Toonami, CN is for the most part only interested in the 9-14, 6-11 and 6-17 ratings (although other viewers are certainly nice to have as well).

Furthermore, it should be pointed out that the lowest number provided was a 1.8, while in the past the highest has sometimes been a 1.8. Thus, several Toonami telecasts could have easily placed in the high 1.X's and still had great ratings.
