Sunday also saw the season 9 premiere of HBO's 'Curb Your Enthusiasm ' which had been off the air since 2011. The show had a 0.52 adults 18-49 rating and over 1.54 million total viewers. That viewership figure is slightly below the season 8 premiere figure on 7/10/11 (1.71M), and almost identical to the season 5 premiere on 9/25/05 (1.55M), but higher than the season 6 premiere on 9/7/07 (1.15M), and the season 7 premiere on 9/20/09 (1.1M). For comparison's sake, the show averaged 3.27M viewers for its season 4 premiere on 1/4/04, but that's when it followed 'Sex and the City.' To put that even further in perspective, the season 3 premiere on 9/15/02 averaged 5.53 million viewers, but even that was following the season 4 premiere of 'The Sopranos' (13.43M).  The show originally premiered to 3.7M viewers all the way back in October 2000.
