After Shark Week and the Olympics, television finally had a chance to catch its breath. Social engagement numbers weren't as high as weeks past, but viewers nonetheless gravitated toward some of the old favorites.
SpongeBob, Family Guy and The Simpsons took a commanding animated lead, with combined social media mentions over 1.3 million. And we're happy to see that Breaking Bad made it on the cable chart, considering the season finale is quickly approaching.
Finally, the web clip series Ridiculousness returned to MTV last Monday after a brief hiatus. The show follows a similar style to Tosh.0 and Web Soup, sharing short videos that are, well, ridiculous. Basically, don't try any of these stunts at home, kiddies.
