No Korra?
Legend of Korra was a repeat and scored 2.9 million viewers
Ray: Korra was new Saturday.
Legend of Korra was a repeat last week and we didn’t get the ratings for it, as far as I’m concerned.
This week was a new episode and it scored 2.9 million viewers (which is kinda low for Korra, but still, the ratings dropped for all saturday cartoons).
2.98 million, actually.
blame the nick of not having spent last week Korra
Who won 18-49 ?
So a repeat of H&M Part 1 and a repeat of H&M Part 2 also beat GoT in viewership.
I think GoT was never the most-watched scripted cable program of the week this whole season. Largely thanks to kids’ shows like Spongebob.

I think GoT was never the most-watched scripted cable program of the week this whole season. Largely thanks to kids’ shows like Spongebob.
HBO only being available in ~25% of households also plays a big role…
@j: iCarly (4/7/12, 8 PM, 3.94 million viewers) wants to have a word with you
Even if the show is faltering badly lately, that one episode still stood out.
Nevermind, scratch that, I thought that said “was the most watched”, not “was never the most watched” x_x
But while i’m here, may as well mention what was #1 scripted for each week:
Week 1 (4/1): How to Rock (Nick)
Week 2 (4/8): iCarly (Nick)
Week 3 (4/15): Legend of Korra (Nick)
Week 4 (4/22): Monsters Inc (Disney), but this was the #1 premiere.
Week 5 (4/29): Legend of Korra (Nick)
Week 6 (5/6): Good Luck Charlie (Disney)
Week 7 (5/13): Spongebob repeat (Nick), but Legend of Korra was the #1 premiere (2000 behind).
Week 8 (5/20): This week was the only one it was the biggest scripted audience, but Victorious (Nick) came very close to it.
Week 9 (5/27): Spongebob repeat, but this was the #1 premiere.
Week 10 (6/3): Hatfields and McCoys (History)
the history channel and the discovery channel definitely have the best shows!
