A F*ckton Of People Watched ‘Breaking Bad’ Last Night

So there’s this show…oh, what’s it called again…it’s final season kicked off last night…oh dammit what’s it called again…oh yeah, Breaking Bad. Well, a lot of people watched it last night — double than the show’s previous high — which I’m guessing means a lot of people did some binge-watching via DVDs, Netflix etc. during Breaking Bad‘s hiatus, adding more fans to its roster.

Reports the Hollywood Reporter:

Breaking Bad surged to a series record on Sunday night, bringing in 5.9 million viewers in its first airing — nearly doubling its previous high…The first half of Breaking Bad’s final season opened with 2.9 million viewers last July, making for a 102 percent gain, year over year. A record at the time, the series eclipsed the haul several episodes later with 3 million viewers tuning into the penultimate episode before the show’s break.

Breaking Bad also surged in adults 18-49, jumping 87 percent from last summer’s season premiere with 3.6 million viewers in the demo. Adults 25-54 also saw gains, rising 81 percent to 3.3 million.

Yes, Walter, you did.
