The NFL kicked off the regular season with a huge result in prime-time, bringing big numbers back to the networks. Over on cable, ‘Jersey Shore’ continued to dominate, but ‘Sons of Anarchy’ returned with a very good number.
‘The Glee Project’ finale brought a surprise ending. ‘Awkward’ had a surprise jump in the ratings. ‘Jersey Shore’ surprised nobody in dominating the week. And ‘NCIS’ gives us the Gibbsian Bar to use in gauging other cable entries.

Another slow week on the broadcast networks was highlighted by a down finale for ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. Over on cable, the future looks bright for TNT’s ‘Falling Skies’, which ended just a tenth below its premiere result.
Last week we were again reminded that a whole lot of people really like ‘Jersey Shore’. The show was easily the big winner for the week. On the broadcast networks, ‘The Bachelorette’ finale was good news for ABC.
With a by-the-numbers week on the broadcast networks, the big stories were on cable, where the Women’s World Cup did very well and the premiere of ‘Breaking Bad’ brought very good numbers for AMC.
