I love how the old classic cartoon shorts of Looney Tunes(airing at 6 AM) beat out other shows in the A18-49 demo.
Ouch, The game is under 2 million. Hope it can bounce backIn its last few episodes of the season
Wow Real Housewives Of OC got pretty high numbers for all 3 airings, totalling 3.564 million total viewers, awesome!
That’s a lot of people watching Looney Tunes at 6am in the morning. I think Cartoon Network should open up a block everyday where they start airing the old classics that they air on Boomerang now and that they used to air during their first 10 years on the air.
I wonder how the Devils will impact the NHL ratings that have been so hot this season in the Eastern Conference.
The NBA series are starting to get interesting now so numbers will start getting up to that next tier around 4-6 million viewers as the week concludes.
Any info on how Dream Machines on Syfy did?
@Greg: Dream Machines = 0.3 A18-49 rtg and 752,000 viewers.
fact or faked is really down
is this the first time its aired before summer and out of fall?
