cool cool
ReplyDeleteGreat news for Ray Donovan considering that the pilot had been released weeks early. I think that bodes well for the series.
ReplyDeleteI wonder since Dexter was on if True Blood viewership numbers dropped? I know a lot of people who watches both shows including myself who watched Dexter live and DVR'd True Blood.
ReplyDeleteActually HBO and Showtime tend to both re-air their 9:00 slots at 11 on Sundays! So I watched Dexter (9), Ray Donovan (10), and True Blood (11)....Now what I don't know is if they ever put the 9 & 11 ratings together as a night total?
ReplyDeleteSweet!!! It was a good night to watch television!! :D
ReplyDeleteThat's what the 3.2 million viewers for Dexter comes from and 2.2 million for Ray Donovan. I've been looking on all the various sites for info on True Blood's ratings but haven't found anything at all about it. Nothing from TVLine or Tvbythenumbers which I think is a little odd.
ReplyDeleteYup :-)
ReplyDeleteI watched Dexter at 9 and then True Blood at 11! I didn't catch Ray Donovan though. Was it good?
I just watched TB at 11 instead of at 9.
ReplyDeleteI skipped RD, but did the same thing! Haha! Dexter at 9, TB at 11.
ReplyDeleteI watched the premiere a week or so ago and then rewatched it last night! I liked it a lot! It sets everything up really well and characters are likable/interesting. It could be easily comparable to something like the Sopranos, only not so drab.
ReplyDeleteSo these are the totals for double airings then?!
ReplyDeleteWell Showtime actually played them 3 times each so 3.2 and 2.2 might be the combination of all 3 airings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting back to me! It's something I wondered, but never asked. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to catch it when it re-airs!
