- After weeks and weeks of oscillating between a fairly anemic 1.0 and 1.1, ABC's Whodunnit? took a surprisingly large upswing to a new series high 1.4 in its finale. It would be hard to completely count out this show's prospects for a season two, given that almost everything on the network this summer has been in the 1.0 to 1.2 range.
- Week two of last week's big story Breaking Bad (2.4) took what is historically a relatively typical week two downswing for this show, shedding a half point from last week. It narrowly held off the finale of True Blood (2.3) to win the night, and it may have a shot to bounce back next week when Blood is out of the mix. But the more important AMC story was the massive meltdown of Breaking Bad's lead-out, newbie Low Winter Sun (0.5), which shed about half of its already underwhelming premiere number.
