Good for Awkward! Can’t wait for Season 3
mtv needs to give awkward it’s own night.
Wilfred?
And Awkward ends with a SEASON HIGH and crosses the 2 mil mark once again! I couldn’t be happier. The finale last night was just about perfect. MTV really has a gem with this show and I’m so happy that it finds the success it does.
I can’t wait for Season 3 next year! It’s going to be sooo good. Now that the love triangle is over, and the theme for next season will be “Who do I want to be” it’s going to be a lot of fun.
It shows how popular football is when almost seven million people watch a laugher like last night’s game.
Uh oh, RHOM didn’t increase AT ALL!
I’m surprised Wilfred didn’t make the list since it was its season finale.
Wilfred and Louie must do amazing DVR numbers for them to have already been renewed. Next season will probably be their last though.
Did MTV release a PR about Awkward.’s finale since it reached a new season high? I love it when a quality show and well written [hilarious] comedy like Awkward. does great!
Third time Awkward hit over 2 millions viewers this season, and it hit a season high. MTV definitely has a hit on it’s hands. Teen Wolf is a great show, but it’s nice that Awkward finished three points higher then Teen Wolf did.
On the bright side RHOM didn’t go down too much and plus the repeat is in the top 100 this week which makes the audience 1.8 million total, and I think it will increase next week, tons of drama next week.
Brandy, Awkward always performs better than Teen Wolf.
@BB, I think they show way too many repeats in one night. I think it would benefit the show in the long run, for Bravo to only show it 2-3 times. Last night, the episode aired like 5 times in a row lol.
@imember
I couldn’t agree with you anymore when saying Awkwards season finale couldn’t have been anymore perfect. The writing..acting..direction was spot on and left any questions which might have remained answered. I can’t wait to see where Awkward season 3 takes us considering how every characters storyline has been wrapped up. Definitely looking forward to next season hopefully sooner than later. MTV has a quality half hour here.
Not looking too good so far for the RHOM. Hope they pick up and soon. This season looks really exciting and I am enjoying the new additions to the cast.
NFL @ 3.0. Wonder how that would affect Jersey Shore
Oh, Wilfred.
Bravo should cancel RHOM pronto
and Awkward was great!!!! and btw everyone, not a season high. the season high was 2.19 million, not 2.17 as the finale got
@Matt We’re talking about the Adult 18-49 rating. The numbers that really count. Awkward got a 1.1 which is a new season high!
Come on Wilfred, you’re a great show!!!
Also @MattM
Louie was renewed so far, but Wilfred is yet to be.
