The hour-long special also posted huge triple-digit gains and averaged a 7.9/2.7 million (+126%) K2-11, 10.8/2.3 million K6-11 (+145%), and 10.7/2.2 million (+168%) T9-14.

Fueled by a strong performance from iCarly and SpongeBob SquarePants - which ranks as the top animated series of the week with kids 2-11 - Nick nabbed the top spot for the week with kids 2-11 (3.3/1.2 million), total viewers (2.2 million) and kids 2-5 (3.3/ 462,000 million).
