Three shows I really enjoy topped the scripted cable world with adults 18-49 in 2009. The first airing of new episodes of the second season of HBO's True Blood topped all scripted cable shows for 2009 with adults 18-49 with an average 3.522 million (includes week's worth of DVR viewing, and the rest of the numbers listed are Live+7, too).
Season three of USA's Burn Notice was second with adults 18-49 with 3.339 million, followed by the second season of my favorite show, FX's Sons Of Anarchy.
True Blood was also the number one show with adults 18-34 with 2.013 million, followed by South Park's 1.796 million and Sons Of Anarchy with 1.655 million.
Among Men 18-49, Sons Of Anarchy led with an average of 1.979 million followed by True Blood with 1.751 million and South Park with 1.742 million.
With Women 18-49, True Blood led the field with an average of 1.770 million, followed by Lifetime's Army Wives with 1.655 million and Burn Notice with 1.606 million.
With Men 18-34 South Park led with an average of 1.292 million, followed by Sons Of Anarchy with 1.058 million and Entourage with 1.007 million.
With Women 18-34, ABC Family's The Secret Life of the American Teenager led with an average of 1.037 million, followed by True Blood with 1.035 million and Army Wives with 796,000.
ROFL! That pic is hilarious! Great result for True Blood.
Leave it to Jason Stackhouse to celebrate while missing his shirt…
Awesome result!
Loved the scene where the preacher’s wife shot him in the cojones with a paint ball gun…
Possibly because I don’t watch many comedies, Jason Stackhouse strikes me as the biggest idiot ever on television. I keep hoping the various vampires would just rip him to pieces like Eric did that guy they had chained up in the basement of Fangtasia.
Of course True Blood would be on top as it is one of the best shows on TV. All the actors on the show are fabulous. http://truebloodnet.com
Yeah, you can’t keep a great show down…we at True-Blood.net have been keeping a close on it and we love all our actors and characters.

More “kadooz” for SOA! Yay!
I’m surprised True Blood doesn’t have a bigger lead over Burn Notice.
Do you have #’s for the top cable shows in 18-49 all-genre? I mean, clearly Monday Night Football is #1, but I wonder if any other unscripted shows beat True Blood. Perhaps Raw?
True Blood is the only reason I got H.B.O. and when the season was over…
TRUE BLOOD!
