It’s season average was 1.60.

3. Games Of Thrones (HBO)
Probably the dark horse of the group and follow success of True Blood and The Walking Dead, it’s one of those shows that will grow with every season. It premiered to a low 0.9 A18-49 Rating, which equals it’s season low. While it’s Season Finale grew all the way to a 1.4 A18-49, which also equals it’s Season high. Many are expecting it’s Season 2 Premiere to garner at least a 2.0 A18-49 rating.

Sons of Anarchy had a Season Average of 2.20, which is equal to NBC’s number on Drama’s Season low Smash.

5. South Park (Comedy Central)
Talk about Growing, South Park has grown into Cables number one primetime animation Series. Last Season it had a Season High of 1.8 A18-49, which is higher than Fox’s The Cleveland Show this week. This Season it premiered to a 1.5 A18-49, three episodes, that is also this Season’s Season High. Wonder how this season will rate compared to last Season.

6. The Game (BET)
Last Season it premiered for the first time on BET after being canceled on CW. BET decided to pick it up and air new episodes in January of 2011. It premiered to a Series High of 3.6, oddly enough that is higher than all CW’s current programming added to each other. This Season it premiered to a 2.8 A18-49, still higher than anything on CW, which highest show rates at 1.3 A18-49, guess CW regrets canceling this show now.

7. The Walking Dead (AMC)
Cable Networks Highest scripted Show in Television History. This Season ended to a high 4.7 A18-49, which is Higher than this weeks’ Thursday night airing of American Idol on Fox as Well as equaling Rating Powerhouse Big Bang Theory on CBS. There hasn’t been a show in cable television history to gain such a high rating. Many are expecting Season 3 to break more records and probably rate even higher than power house American idol.

8. True Blood (HBO)
Last but not least, HBO, which has grown every season into HBO’s most successful drama since The Soprano’s. Though it doesn’t share the same Award Success as The Soprano’s (They have Boardwalk Empire for that), they do share the same in the huge viewership the show brings to HBO. This Season it had a 3.0 A18-49 Season premiere while it ended it’s season with a 2.8 A18-49. With a Season high of 3.1 A18-49. Will the next Season be competition of AMC’s huge mega hit The Walking Dead? Guess We’ll have to wait and see.
