Breaking Bad, AMC's second original scripted drama series, got off to a solid start Sunday.
Meanwhile, History Channel and Oxygen each set network records this week with the special Life After People and the original movie Husband for Hire, respectively.
Bad, which stars Bryan Cranston, averaged 1.4 million viewers at 10 p.m. Sunday, according to Nielsen Media Research. That's in line with AMC's first scripted drama, Mad Men, which debuted in July to 1.6 million viewers and got a second-season pickup in September.
Moreover, it should be noted that "Bad" faced strong competition with the conclusion of the NFC championship game on Fox, which drew 54 million viewers.
In the key adult demos, "Bad" averaged 796,000 adults 25-54 and 785,000 adults 18-49. The show also grew in its second half-hour -- after the football game ended -- in 18-49 by 48% and in men 18-34 by 90%.
History's People averaged a whopping 5.4 million viewers from 9-11 p.m. Monday, making it the network's most-watched program ever. It also was cable's No.
