2011 was the year VH1 completely ditched their resolution from 2010 to only air classy (albeit pseudo-classy) programming and simply opted to show fights galore in order to make a grab for ratings. This was also the year where the Sunday/Monday ratings divide became much more prominent. Now all that’s left is to take in the list below or take a look back at the older lists (2004-2006), (2007), (2008), (2009) and (2010).

 Three things of note:

1. Remember Love & Hip Hop? (No not the Atlanta version the other one). I want you to pay really close attention to those season 1 numbers because it was dangerously close to not being renewed.

2. T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle is a 100% lead-in dependent show. Those swings are among the biggest I’ve ever seen for any show.

3. If you want to see how the season averages for these shows stack up see it here (I’m so glad I looked this up before I added it so I could give it the long overdue updates it deserved).
