Huge Ratings for Premieres of The Big C, Weeds
Matt Richenthal at .Showtime has itself an impressive night on Monday.
First, Weeds premiered its sixth season to 1.9 million viewers. That's a record number for the Mary Louise-Parker dramedy.
Then, The Big C - starring Laura Linney as a woman diagnosed with stage four skin cancer - earned the biggest original series debut for the network in eight years. Over 1.5 million people tuned in for it.
Did you watch either of these premieres? What did you think of Nancy's reaction to Shane's murder and/or the premise of The Big C pilot?
