Awww. I was hoping for higher with Falling Skies, but if those viewers come back and insure that a Season 4 occurs, it’s all good.
Btw is Copper doing well by BBCAmerica’s standards with a 0.36 rating? Even if it is not, what are the chances of BBCA keeping it? After all, it is their first original. They cannot possibly cancel their very first original production, can they? And abandon original programming altogether?
@Dennis
Do you mean Falling Skies is basic cables #1 scripted drama in 18-49 for two years running in the summer? I dont see how its meager ratings compare to Walking Dead’s.
Good for Breaking Bad, although I wish it had better ratings then that reality garbage. And its too bad this is the last season for Hell on Wheels, its a great original show.
.
@Nick
O and Robot and monster as well.(:
(11am Saturday)
@Nick
Never mind lol. You already posted them. Sorry.(:
It seems ‘Super Soul Sunday’ stumbled. Badly.
@Nathan (NR2012)
It actually did decent considering it was by itself for the night and nickelodeon rarely airs reruns of the show. And it really only had a week of promotion.. I hope it doesn’t gets cancelled cuz Supah nijas got renewed and it got lower numbers than how to rock when new eps aired. If Cymphonique would use her twitter and promote her show than it will gain more viewers.! Anyways I am pretty disappointed cuz that was the best ep of the show so far and I was expecting more than 3 million. I hope how to rock can gain more popularity. It deserves it. In my opinion I think how to rock is better than Austin and ally.
@Poweranimals: the 8:30P Shake It Up on Sunday had 3.243 million viewers and a .44 A18-49 rating.
@OMG: the Copper ratings are pretty fantastic for BBC America. Outside of some Doctor Who episodes, that might be its best ever.
Flip men at 10 pm on spike? How did it do?!?
Another great episode of Breaking Bad. Walter is losing it.
RHONJ almost at 3 million viewers?! That shot up from 2.2 million from last week!
How To Rock did bad on Saturday!!! 2.11 million viewers even with Cee Lo Green guest starring!!
I’m concerned about Drop Dead Diva and Leverage. They are my Sunday favorites and I’m not ready to see them go.
I don’t know how Fred: The Show gets higher views than How to Rock? Fred is the worst show on Nick, and How to Rock is a decent show. How to Rock should be getting more viewers.
An OWN show got more than 2 million viewers? Miracles! Just kidding, but that’s great for OWN. Its just the viewership and demos that it needs to jumpstart it. I hope it gets better.
Nick, can you post the numbers for the Saturday repeat of DC Nation? Thanks
Aggg hell on wheels come back
