Anger Management Premiere Sets Cable Ratings Record
After two episodes, Charlie Sheen is proving to be anything but a losing proposition for FX.
The series debut of Anger Management garnered 5.47 million viewers last night, a record number for the premiere of a cable comedy and the most watched series premiere in FX history.
The second installment, meanwhile, actually improved upon this figure: 5.74 million households tuned in.
Sheen also built a very strong lead in for a pair of other critical darlings: The season premieres of Wilfred and Louie increase 71 and 55 percent, respectively, over their prior season averages.

Nonsense. Truthers believe that "911 was an isdine job." This is mostly a leftwing belief as lefties are always seeking rationalizations for doing nothing about radical Islam. Some so-called "paleoconservatives" are truthers as well, but paleos beliefs on foreign policy are very similar to those of the far left. They are not at all typical of conservative thought.
