2011-2012 ratings round up, Part VII – HBO and Showtime, or where the ratings don't matter (or do they ?)

Well, hi (we come full circle).

Today marks the end of my ratings round up for the first part of the 2011-2012 season, and we end on a bang with the ratings of the two biggest premium cable channels offering original scripted series : Showtime and the Home Box Office.

I don't need to remind you that the previous 6 parts are available for free (!) by clicking on the links below, but I will :

Part I - CBS : Killer at Procedural Land
Part II - The CW Diaries
Part III - Once Upon a Time, ABC had good ratings...
Part IV - The new girl is FOXy
Part V - NBC or the story of the peacock on fire
Part VI - AMC and FX, complex ratings on basic cable
Part VII - Showtime and HBO, or where the ratings don't matter (or do they ?)
