I have to disagree with Curtis. The Patriots are up there in the top 5 for fanbase and interest. But they usually blow teams out a lot. And it starts right away in the first qtr. It’s only natural for people to turn the channel when a team is is destroying the other. Especially the Pats who are hated. When was the last time the Pats had a close game on prime time? The Ravens game in week 3 on Sunday Night? I believe that was about 22 million.
Teen Mom 2 and Catfish doing good for MTV again. I like them both and good to see them pretty steady in viewers and the demo.
