Good start for the new Weeds !
By fred | June 18, 2008
On Monday Showtime kicked off the new season of a re-invented Weeds, and after a disappointing third season it seemed quite a lot of people were welcoming the change.
Season 4 premiere of Weeds broke the Showtime record - previously held by the season two premiere of Dexter (1.2 million) - with 1.3 million viewers watching Showtime at 10.00 on Monday. Thus, season premieres for the show keep improving over time : the series premiere pulled in 488 000 viewers, the second season premiere grabbed the attention of 578 000 viewers and last season debut started out with 824 000 viewers.
After Weeds came another premiere, the series premiere of Secret Diary Of A Call Girl, holding on to 949 000 viewers (73% retention). A very good start for the British import, beating the series debut of The L Word in 2004 (936 000 viewers). Last season the post-Weeds slot was given to Californication, starring David Duchovny, which “only” had 550 000 viewers (67% retention).
