Memo to anyone who has suggested heads will roll at MTVover Miley Cyrus’ exuberant twerking of teddy bear and Robin Thicke at Sunday’s VMAs: The VMAs clobbered all competition for the week, with a 5.2 rating in the key 18-49 demo. The closest thing to actual competition faced by Cyrus and her Fantastic Foam Finger — who continued to be a hot topic among morning infotainment programs two days later — was the Robertson clan on A&E’s Duck Dynasty. It clocked a 4.5 rating. NBC’s Sunday Night Football, though tops among broadcasters, trailed far behind with a 2.7 rating.
