Yikes, thanks Technique, I've been watching Weeds strictly via VOD, so I should've known it was on Mondays, not Sundays. And I did know that but am scatter-brained today. Oops!

But I agree and I doubt there is significant crossover between Weeds and WWE Raw, more crossover probably between Saving Grace (also Mondays @10p), but I was just curious about the ratings for 7/28. From the cable and broadcast data we have, I don't see anything significant from that Monday, so maybe it was just random summer ratings doldrums.

Mad Men aired the night before on July 27. I did notice, that night, WWE Raw (airing in the same Weeds time slot) went up slightly from prior weeks but then again, do WWE and Weeds share the same audience? I don't know – I'm guessing they don't.

I'm sure its countless re-airings on Showtime and the network's on-demand availability more than make up for any week-to-week declines.

Thanks for the link Technique — I appreciate it. Interesting, it doesn't appear Weeds got hurt much. What went on w/the 7/28 episode? Mad Men premiere hit?
