Ratings: 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' does really well
The ratings momentum generated by "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" has carried south.The season premiere of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" Thursday night had the best debut of any show in the "Real Housewives" franchise, Bravo says. About 2.66 million people tuned into the premiere at 10 p.m. ET Thursday, and another 1.3 million watched an encore at 11 p.m., giving it a cumulative audience of nearly 4 million viewers.
About two-thirds of that total audience fell into the coveted adults 18-49 demographic.
The 2.66 million viewers is more than four times as many people as watched "RH of Atlanta's" series premiere last year. It was also the most-watched Thursday broadcast in the history of the network.
The premiere's big gains come on the heels of a big ending for "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." The show's June 17 season finale brought in almost 3.5 million viewers, and almost 3 million watched a reunion special the following week.

These girls are all very cl***y, and I want to be like them when I grow up. They are role models for all little girls out there!
niiiiii-iice, meow! ;)
but seriously, how ironic! because i thought the New Jersey series was the worst ever (and which i would not even watch), and the second worst is Atlanta, which i also won't be watching. anyway, sometimes the more outrageous trashier shows get more attention. surely, that is true in this case.
I think Kim enjoys being beat up by blacks so she can fit in. You know the "my husband beats me caause he loves me' types of syndrome.
Atlanta = big a** GHETTO!
New Jersey = (see above)
enough said!
I just finished watching the first episode of the 2nd season. Thoroughly entertaining from the 1st scene with Dewight to the last with Sheree' and the party planner. Funny as hell. I could not stop laughing. These girls I can relate to.
Keep the show on for many seasons to come.
Loving it!!!
I want to see more of Dewight!!!!
Sistah Ghetto aka Sherree showed her true "ig-nant" colors fighting with the party planner over a party honoring her favorite person, HERSELF.....lmfao.
All these women are nothing but very lucky and successful street level hookers that were able to claw, scratch, bite and suck their way onto a fancier "track" (streetconer) and nothing more. I'd rather watch the hookers on the corner because at least THEY know they are just hoes. These beotches actually think they MATTER.....
i agree with ya KeepinitR.
nice post fake meow, i never said i want to be like them. but i think they are strong woman, nothingw rong with woman being storong and standing up for themsleves.
