The Bible/Vikings
Americans love Jesus as the first episode of History Channel’s ten-part big-budget miniseries “The Bible” premiered on Sunday night to 13.1 million total viewers. That makes it the number one entertainment telecast of the year on cable TV.
Immediately after, the cable network’s first scripted series, “Vikings,” premiered to 6.2 million viewers – better than some of the free-to-air network numbers in the time slot and a very robust debut on its own. [Source: The L.A. Times]
