Homeland skews quite old compared to its lead in, Dexter.
Thats it for Hell on wheels
@Nick,
Do you have the Saturday ratings of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Victorious, and Big Time Rush?
Homeland 0.7. Woo hoo!
It’s so depressing what Homeland’s numbers say about the viewing public. Such a smart, high quality show, and such paltry numbers. *sigh*
Breaking Amish up two tenths and 220K viewers. Maybe all of the controversy that it’s fake actually helped its ratings.
Rhonj should hit 4 million next weel
Homeland did bad. All the critical praise and Emmy love 0.7 is all it got? Im glad Dexter did well it was a great episode.
@Nick – Can you post ratings for new episodes (& season premieres) of Ben 10: Omniverse, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Green Lantern and Young Justice from Saturday 9-11am on Cartoon Network? Thanks!
You seriously need a new picture of RONJ, half of these cast members on the phono aren’t even there. That was 4 years ago. Anyway, great for RHONJ but I am still hoping for 4mil
Breaking Amish is a monster. It should take over one RHNJ is finished. it is so well done and dramatic.
Sunday is too crowded with quality shows: Boardwalk Empire, Homeland, The Good Wife, Dexter, Revenge, OUAT, Fox Animation,…And The Walking Dead will soon join them.
Ratings for the season 5 premiere of Star Wars: The Clone Wars (saturday morning on CN)?
I like how the numbers for RHONJ (both viewers and 18-49) are the same for many NBC comedies, if not better lol.
I was expecting better numbers for Homeland.
@ Everyone saying “Homeland” did bad,
Remember this show is on SHOWTIME which continuously renews shows that pull in .2/.3 season averages (“The Big C,” “The Tudors”). It’s no “Dexter” but it’s on par with “Shameless” and thus still a hit for the channel.
ANY OF YOU WHINING OVER HOMELAND STOP AMD THINK THAT IT’S ON SHOWTIME AND IT’S NOT IN AS MANY HOMES AS OTHER CHANNELS? NOT EVEN AS MANY AS HBO?
Nick…your numbers for Oprah’s Next Chapter (Colbert interview) on Sunday, and Sweetie Pie and Iyanla first-runs on Saturday night on OWN are much appreciated. Thank you!
Real Housewives at #1 is reason why the demo shouldn’t be able to have so much “clout”
Homeland did great. It jumped to series highs. If I remember correctly, it only got ~1 million viewers and ~0.4 in 18-49 last season premiere. Dexter also got a huge bump maybe due to last season’s cliffhanger. I remember Boardwalk Empire used to beat it last season.
