The Matt Smith era is a hit.
The new season was one of the top ranked shows in the UK for “The Eleventh Hour” and is now a hit in the U.S. for BBC America.
According to BBC America, the first episode of the new era averaged 1.2 million total viewers, making it the network’s most-watched telecast ever.
The 9 p.m. telecast also set a network record in the adults 25-54 demo, drawing a 0.9 rating, which made it No. 2 in its time slot among ad-supported cable networks.
The previous record was set by the U.S. premiere of “Doctor Who: The End of Time,” which averaged 1 million viewers and a 0.8 in the demo on Jan. 2.
BBC America said that “Doctor Who” is also currently the No. 1 TV series in the iTunes store.
It should be, it was quite good. I like the new Doctor and sidekick.
I watched it twice in a row (on the DVR), it was so good. And almost never do that.
Oh, and I am now officially Team Amy! RAWR!!!
