some reports estimate that 50million people have watched at least part of one episode.
That makes sense since the country is split down the middle politically. around 115 million vote and 1/2 vote Republican so this makes sense to me. But keep in mind, NCIS gets 20 million viewers a week. The Bible received 13 million its first week and has NEVER been able to repeat those numbers at all.
Is NCIS a cable show, like The Bible? 13 million viewers is very good, as not everyone has cable.
