How starved are we for quality scripted TV? Let’s just say we’re like addicts in need of a fix.
Turns out Weeds is addictive after all. How else to explain the Showtime record-breaking 1.3 million viewers Monday’s premier drew, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Even new new series “Secret Diary of a Call Girl” got a bump coming out of its Weeds lead-in, pulling in 949,000 viewers. The Reporter reports…
“Weeds” averaged 1.3 million total viewers at 10 p.m. Monday, which broke the record held by a Season 2 episode of “Dexter” (1.2 million) that aired last year. An 11 p.m. repeat of “Weeds” averaged 406,000 viewers, according to Nielsen.
Each successive season premiere has bested the one before.
“Our ratings were va-va-va-voom!” Showtime president of entertainment Robert Greenblatt said. “Who said hedonism is passe?”
OoooooK.
