Duck Dynasty on A&E took control of television last week, #1 among all programs by a mile with an astounding 5.0 rating with adults 18-49.  Breaking Bad‘s brief reign last week ended with the second episode declining half a rating point this week and falling into a tie for second with Under the Dome on CBS and a listless America’s Got Talent on NBC (Tuesday live performance edition).  True Blood on HBO rose one tenth of a rating point from last week, narrowing the gap between it and the time period leader Breaking Bad to one tenth of a rating point (from seven tenths of a rating point last week between the two season premieres).
