Hannah Montana breaks cable ratings record

[Brian Damage]

You thought the big news on Disney this past week was High School Musical 2? Nope. It was actually what happened to Hannah Montana (wow, a mention of High School Musical and Hannah Montana in the same post - my 14 year-old girl demographic fan base just exploded).

While the musical sequel got big numbers and got all the buzz, the episode of Hannah Montana that followed averaged 10.7 million viewers. That's the highest ratings for a regular series in the history of basic cable. Now, are all these people tuning in to see Miley Cyrus or her dad Billy Ray?

Of course, it helped that Zac Efron and company were the lead in, since High School Musical 2 got over 17 million viewers, the single biggest ratings in basic cable history. Lots of history made over at Disney this week.

10.7 million people watched... Hannah Montana? Ew. It's alright, but..meh.

I watched (parts of) High School Musical 2 and it was so boring.

HSM 2 was boring. I watched it with my kids, and the first one was much more exciting. This one just seemed to be lacking. I'm sure HSM 3 will be over 20 mil. viewers at this point.
