With Cartoon Network The Force Is

Monday October 6, 2008
Cartoon Network is reporting that Star Wars: The Clone Wars scored as the most-watched series premiere in the network's history, according to preliminary data from Nielsen Media Research. The one-hour new series premiere also reigned as the #1 program from in the 9:00 p.m. hour among all major kids networks, earning triple-digit increases compared to the same time period last year. Not really a surprise. Friday night is a great night for geeking out on TV (remember when X-Files was on Friday night? I loved that), and who doesn't want to see some Jedi kicking butt 3-D style? Learn more about Star Wars: The Clone Wars so you don't miss out.
