Boardwalk Empire's season two premiere drew 2.912 million viewers, down 39% from its first season premiere and down 12% from its first season finale last December. Our polled readers were wildly optimistic.
The Comedy Network special Jeff Dunham: Controlled Chaos towered over the rest of the cable competition on Sunday with a 2.2 adults 18-49 rating.
There was no Real Housewives of New Jersey in the top 100, a week off perhaps?
TLC's Sister Wives drew a nice 1.2 adults 18-49 rating.
Meanwhile, Breaking Bad was even with the previous week at a 0.7 adults 18-49 rating.
History's Ice Road Truckers scored a 0.8 adults 18-49 rating, down 0.2 points from last week.
We only receive the top 100 cable shows for adults 25-54 for the whole day from our principal source. If you don’t see an original episode of a show here, it’s because it wasn’t in the top 100. I attempt to filter out repeats, kids shows, and most non-primetime shows. Will add extras that come from other sources later as we receive them.
