This Week's TV Numeros

The ratings that rocked and the one's that flopped.

• The Daytime Emmy's, even award show junkies like me couldn't have cared less with a dismal 5.4 million.
• Camp Rock, the crap-ass Disney movie with the gay Jonas clan, did well enough to spawn a sequel with 8.9 mil. (Note above reference).
• Celebrity Family Fued is this week's second best premiere with 8.8 mil.

The show's that got high and the one's whose writers should.

• Weeds set Showtime's record with 1.3 million for it's season premiere. By the way, the opening above is a pretty clear drug reference to the show.
• America's Got Talent and ratings. The season premiere set this summer's record with 12.8 mil.
• AFI's 10 Top 10 is clearly not on top. It became the lowest rated AFI special on CBS, with 5.6 mil.
