pinocchio Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 TV marathon this weekend, season 1. Started yesterday. Quite good. I even like it more than Rome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hey, and it had good ratings among the most important demo (age group 14-49):http://meedia.de/fer.../tv-quoten.htmlIt could not top re-run number 7691 of The Return of the Jedi, however....

Gopher Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The "War is Coming" poster is on every other billboard in LA. It's getting me really excited for April 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariadne Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I expect the ratings to go up from season 1 - it looks like the series has picked up even more fans. A week to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lab276 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 As far as audience numbers go, it was in the 2m's, but the final reached 3m.http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/06/21/ned-who-game-of-thrones-soars-to-ratings-highs-in-season-finale/96133/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Season 1 premiered with 2.22 million viewers and the finale had 3.04 viewers. For an pay-to-watch channel that's pretty darn good for a fantasy show's first season. I expect the numbers to go up a lot this season based on the very positive word-of-mouth since last June.True Blood Season 2 jumped 50% in viewers from its Season 1 finale to its Season 2 premiere for example (2.45 million to 3.70 million).

pinocchio Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 In Germany, free TV marathon over the weekend, it made 1.63 mio yesterday (episodes 8-10).And it was edited a litte bit. They did cut some scenes to make it PG13 or whatsoever.Pay-TV numbers for Germany I have no idea. Still a damn good result for free TV.

iceroll Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Wow they showed it on free TV? The must have had to cut a lot out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Wow they showed it on free TV? The must have had to cut a lot out.I'm sure they cut a bit, but remember that was in Germany, where they are a bit less uptight about nudity than us Puritanical Americans.

pinocchio Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 In Germany, nudity is more or less okay. It's violence they edit.So, this horses neck was cut, but it was probably a little bit more bloody in the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this horses neck was cut, but it was probably a little bit more bloody in the original. That cracks me up. Says a lot about Americans that ours would be edited the exact opposite way if it was on regular TV. Someone slices open a horse's throat spraying blood everywhere? Sure, no problem. But Good LORD, show a single shot of a boob and all hell breaks loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Nah, I'm pretty sure the blood would be censored too. We're kind of easy on comic violence (It's amazing what Family Guy gets away with), but serious, graphic violence is usually edited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 This one should reach at least 4 million in viewers for the premiere There is just too much hype and too many people caught up with the show ... If I had to guess the ratings I'd say 4.2 mil for the premiere telecast along with a 2.0 key demo rating ( not that it matters for HBO ) I think the battle episode near the end of the season might hit 5 mil in viewers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 There are signs and posters and more ALL over New York City for this. They were also showing the "Seven Devils" promo inside the AMC in Times Square and even in the theater before the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
