We’ll see how Girls’ numbers rise as these weeks go on. 10:30 is a bit late for some and we wonder if the series might see better numbers online as well as with recorded viewings. ter numbers online as well as with recorded viewings. Overall these numbers aren’t bad considering the time slot and comparing them to other successful HBO comedies.
Other HBO programs that night fared well also with Game of Thrones holding steady at around 4 million viewers and the series finale of Eastbound & Down clocking in with 1.6 million viewers. We’ll have more numbers for you next week as Veep premieres at 10PM.
