This is particularly true for FX, which holds five spots in the top 10 list. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? I don’t know? That people with good taste in television don’t have to live-tweet everything? That everyone that watches FX, AMC, and the USA Network knows how to use a DVR? Nevermind, it’s just important because of REASONS.

Here’s the top ten.

1. The Bridge (FX) — 164.3 percent gain

2. Covert Affairs (USA) — 164 percent gain

3. Justified (FX) — 144.8 percent gain
