Sometimes, I feel like I’m living in an alternate universe than the rest of the television viewing world. Here we are on a place like Uproxx talking about The Newsroom, Dexter, Wilfred the forthcoming season of Breaking Bad, maybe a little The Bridge and The Killing, and everyone else is watching SHOWS I’VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF.
I don’t say that in a hyperbolic way. I literally mean, I haven’t heard of a lot of the shows that ranked in the top 25 on both cable and broadcast networks this week. I feel alienated enough during the rest of the year, but during the summer? I feel like I slipped through one of the cracks in Torchwood and found my way into another dimension.
SAVE ME EVE MYLES.
Below, I’m going to list the top 25 shows and you tell me how many of these shows do you watch? Despite a heavy television diet, I watch exactly zero of those shows (I thought the season premiere of Suits, at the very least, would break the top 25).
Top 25 Network Shows (18-49 demo). As you can see, Univision holds many of the spots, which is why — among 18-49 year olds — the Spanish speaking network won the ratings week among networks. Now you know why Matt Damon does the promotional rounds there.
