Highest Ever Premiere in Cartoon Network History


It seems a lot of people tuned in to watch the new Star Wars series on Cartoon Network.  I know the video I posted last week got over 5200 views.  This is good news as far as I'm concerned.  I'm all for a continuing Star Wars show. 

Did you watch it?  What did you think?  If you missed it, you can catch them on Cartoon Network's website one week after they air on television.

Here's the data on the number of viewers.

The Force is with Cartoon Network as Star Wars™: The Clone Wars™ Blasts Off as the Most-Watched Series Premiere in Network History.  The new Friday Action-Adventure Night Off to Record Numbers.
