By fred | December 17, 2008
Sunday was a pretty good night for Showtime, as both season finales of Dexter and Californication scored new highs.
The last episode of the third season of Dexter was followed by 1.5 million viewers in its first airing at 9.00, making it the network’s most-watched telecast since 2004. The episode was up 7% compared to last season’s finale (1.4 million) and 25% over the first season finale (1.2 million). The rerun at 11.00 added 491 000 viewers for the episode. This season the show averaged 1.1 million viewers on its initial run.
Meanwhile Californication was also doing well, ending its second season with 615 000 viewers, a season high. The rerun at 10.30 also drew 322 000 viewers.
Both series have already been renewed — Showtime ordered two more seasons of Dexter already, as well as a third season of Californication.
