   Hell on wheels is surprisingly steady with this 0.6. I think it will be renewed.

   @Nick,

   If you have it, could you provide ratings for the Winx Club Season 5 premiere on Nickelodeon at 12:00 pm Sunday? It is the first Winx Club season that is a co-production between Nickelodeon and Rainbow, so I am curious about its ratings. It had a good lead-in, with the 11:30 am Spongebob appearing in the Sunday ratings table above.

   Good for True Blood. I am happy to see it finish strong. Great season. At least Hell on Wheels is holding steady. I hope the ratings don’t drop after Breaking Bad goes away. Finally, The Newsroom did well. Decent show. Not my favorite, but it isn’t a bad watch.

   @mArS: The Great Escape had 873K viewers and a .34 A18-49 rating.

   @RatingsRaceFan: Winx took in 2.038 million viewers and a .34 A18-49.

   @Ike: We’re just talking about two episodes thus far but, in the key demo, Copper is actually slightly above the second batch of Doctor Who episodes that aired last summer/fall. So this is a pretty big deal for the network.

   “What is BREAK on HBO?”

   Just a programming break between shows.

   Hey Nick – do you have ratings for new episodes of Robot and Monster (Sat 11am & 11:30am) and Winx Club (Sunday at 12pm) both on Nickelodeon? Thanks!

   @Nick or anyone who can answer this:

   Do you receive ratings numbers for broadcast TV Saturday mornings? I thought this was the best place to ask about it. There are people who are curious about the premiere ratings performance of the new Vortexx CW block last Saturday, particularly for WWE Saturday Morning Slam at 10:00 am and Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal at 8:30 am. We get Kids 6-11 ratings every week from Cynopsis Kids for Saturday broadcast TV. However, I’m sure there are people who would like to know the total viewer numbers for the shows on Vortexx if possible.

   Army Wives doing incredible for it’s sixth season. No word on renewal which is strange for such a successful show. Also why no discussion on this show? You would think it was doing horrible in the ratings with all the “no discussion” going on.

    Bravo for RHONJ season high… I knew this season was going to be a good one and I see it going up for the rest of the season. Also I think that may be a season high for Kardashians, ratings have been strong this arson. Oh and the episode of Watch What Happens live was a special with Teresa and Caroline and I think that’s a series high. Go Bravo.

    Seems good for Drop Dead Diva,but it dosent do better ratings wise than the show on after Army Wives which it should considering AW is older,this and Lifetime ordering three pilots(at least) _Secret Lives of Wives,Devious Maids,Witches of Easr End_has me worried as does the fact that Diva hasnt been renewed for season 5 yet& the next episode is the season finale,ending on a couple huge cliffhangers_Jane/OwenGreyson triangle and Kim/,Parker/Kims pregnancy.I hope they dont end the show that way and without Jane/Greyson getting together.

    Excellent episode of Hell on Wheels.Loving the second season so far.The ratings should be much higher though.

    Wow @ Breaking Bad! I expect it to do even better next week without The Newsroom as competition, maybe 1.6?

    And I’m very surprised at Married To Jonas, for a hasbeen teen icon who was the most hated of his brothers, a 1.0 isn’t terrible!
