Weeds drew 1.2 million viewers in its season premiere.  That led-in to the series premiere of Nurse Jackie which pulled a million viewers (and another 350K in an additonal airing) giving Showtime its highest-rated night in the network's history.  Weeds averaged about another 500,000 viewers in a rebroadcast.

  1. Any details on last year’s premiere? Or do I have to search for it? :)

  2. Unfortunately I don’t have them, I only know that it was roughly 200K more than the series 4 finale (1.0x) and that combined airings last night 1.7M were higher than the combined ratings for the S4 finale (1.345)

    Julia + Robert, season 4 premiered to 1.3 million, a series best.

    I actually didnt like season 4 of weeds and I was hoping that the premiere of season 5 would somehow get them out of that Mexican Border Mafia storyline and get them back to dealing pot in the burbs where they belong. Sadly , I did not like the season 5 premiere because of this continuing storyline BUT there was a glimmer of hope with Nancy sending the two boys to Oakland so heres hoping that the Mexican connection days are numbered and Maybe Nancy will move to Oakland and start dealing pot there! The Show needs a new direction!

  5. that nurse jackie show is soooooo awesome!

    any idea what The United States of Tara averaged during its first season? I know it’s coming back for a 2nd but I wanted to compare

  7. David4

    Only Shane and Andy are going to Oakland and it’s only for 2 episodes.

    Lost interest in this show after the second season. Nancy is just too unlikeable.

    Season 4 of Weeds started out good, but it got boring, the season 5 premiere was boring but i’ve watched for 4 years so i’m not gonna give up yet.
