That is also more than double the number of people that tuned into the season five premiere in September 2008, which just delivered 1.6 million viewers.
The second episode of Hung improved on its series premiere, despite a one week hiatus due to the July 4th holiday. Hung drew 3.6 million viewers, up 29% from the premiere.
True Blood also posted another series high with 3.9 million viewers. When DVR and on-demand are factored in, True Blood is averaging 10.8 million viewers, up 39% from season one.
