Disney's DOG WITH A BLOG seems to be a very popular series . It has regularly placed in the top 10 each week. This week, it has two episodes in the top 6. This may be the network's next hit series.

VIKINGS is still pulling strong numbers for History. It seems to have settled into the 3.4 million viewer range it pulled in this past Sunday. The freshmen series has just a few weeks left in this first season.
