   I liked the premiere of Copper. I wonder if new episodes of Doctor Who usually surpass 0.36 in A18-49 and 1.1 million viewers on BBCA.

   Since Copper is a period piece, I expected it to skew much older.

   Considering all the cable promotion and billboards I’ve seen at train stations, I was expecting maybe something a little higher than 0.36 but it’s a small channel without as much distribution as many others. And maybe they just concentrated their outdoor/train promotion in NJ and NYC. Networks do that sometimes, I suspect to convince Madison Ave. that their shows are more heavily-promoted than they actually are.

   @Jesse

   I’m pretty sure the “Falling Skies is Basic Cable’s #1 show in the 18-49 demo 2 years running” does refer to summer.

   As Sons of Anarchy also outrates Falling Skies by a significant margin.

    Does anyone know for sure if in fact, Army Wives is going to be over after the next 2 episodes? The man on the promos keeps saying so.

    Nick should start premiering their animation shows at night and not in the morning, all of their shows are doing terrible, even iCarly has not made a 3 million mark on their latest episodes a few months ago. I’m starting to lose hope for Nick.

    Wow, New HTR wouldn’t do well, but I thought it would do 2.5 million! You Stupid Disney haters, SIU did WAY better, even in a rerun!

    @Rebecca : on the official FB page of the show we were told the message at the end meant there were only 2 episodes to air till the end of season 6. No word for season 7 yet. Army Wives is still Lifetime’s number 1 show by far but Lifetime is still negociating with the cast (their contracts ended this season). Catherine Bell as well as some actors have already signed for two more seasons in case the show was renewed, which is a good sign. But things seem to be more complicated with the main actresses. Hopefully we’ll know soon enough whether it’s good news or not.

    Hey Nick, I know this might seem ridiculous, but can you see how many viewers tuned in for ‘Welcome to Sweetie Pies: Extra Slice’ at 8 & 9. Just wanted to see how many viewers ’10 Kids 2 Dads’ was able to get after it’s lead-in.
    Thanks ALOT!
