HBO's 'Rome' premiered August 28, 2005 to a 2.4 HH rating and 3.81 million viewers, basically on-par with what the series finale of 'Six Feet Under' pulled a week earlier (2.4 HH & 3.89 million). The ratings dropped significantly by episode 3 which pulled a 1.6 rating & 2.58 million viewers but then they stabilized around that and the first season averaged 2.6 million viewers. A second season premiered in January 2007 and got off to a slow start with just a 0.6 A18-49 rating & 1.54 million viewers, but things improved throughout the rest of its run and the season ultimately ended up averaging a 0.8 rating & over 2 million viewers. This wasn't good enough for a third season renewal though and the show was cancelled after airing 22 episodes over 2 seasons.
