It's the first time Nurse Jackie and The Big C air on Sundays and it's a success.
Jackie and Cathy had to face the twelfth (wow, that is a complex word) chapter of the mighty Game of Thrones (3.76 million / 1.9% A18-49 at 9pm + 1.07 million / 0.6% A18-49 at 11pm = 4.93 million viewers / 2.5% of the 18-49 demo) and a new episode of The Killing (AMC cleverly chose to air Mad Men at 10pm instead of 9pm, avoiding the competition of GoT but depriving The Killing of a great lead-in) gathering 1.81 million viewers / 0.6% of the 18-49 demographic.
It seems to me like the only TV networks that know how to make a good airing schedule are AMC and HBO. I only read these terrific ratings news about shows like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. It seems they place their shows perfectly to reach the top viewer numbers, while CBS and FOX move everything all around and screws it all up...
ReplyDeleteI watched all three episodes of both The Borgias and The Big C, excellent, now I have nothing to watch for two weeks on Sundays, oh well
ReplyDeleteI was wondering why Mad Men moved - it all makes sense now haha.. Game of Thrones is a force to be reckoned with.
