LOS ANGELES (March 27) - "The Hills" are really
alive, with the MTV reality show drawing its biggest audience
ever this week.
Monday's 10-11 p.m. episode, which was the first of Season
3's eight "bonus" episodes, averaged 4.8 million total viewers,
according to Nielsen Media Research. That marks the series'
biggest viewership ever for a single episode, besting what
originally was supposed to be the third-season finale in
December (4.7 million viewers).
On Tuesday, in its first full day live on MTV.com, the new
"Hills" episode delivered 1.8 million streams, up 29% from the
day after Season 3's premiere episode.
