FX was running on all cylinders:

middot; Originals: Sons of Anarchy was this month's most watched scripted series in P18-49; (season 4 premiere episode was basic cable's most-watched drama telecast of 2011 in Adults 18-49 and Men 18-49)

middot; It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was basic cable's most-watched scripted comedy this month and it is off to its best start in seven years. The season 7 premiere episode is likely to be the most-watched Sunny episode ever when Live+7 data becomes available.)
