With the first month of 2012 in the books, we looked back to see what topped Miso’s charts. Count down the most checked-in TV shows with us!

|
10. Coming in at #10 is the veteran medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, which is in the midst of its eighth season. There will be at least one more season of Ellen Pompeo, Sandra Oh & Co., so expect more appointments with Grey’s Anatomy in our top ten in the future. |
 |
9. Dexter, our favorite serial killing vigilante, is Miso’s 9th-most checked-in show of January, despite wrapping its sixth season in December, 2011. Maybe everyone was just a bit behind on their DVRs, or everyone wanted to relive the debut of the SideShow experience. Either way, Season 7 can’t come soon enough. |
 |
8. It’s great to see Chuck crack the top 10, considering the often-underrated show aired its final five episodes this month. Farewell, Intersect. |
 |
7. Modern Family takes #7 for January. After a virtual sweep of the comedy Emmys last fall, the third season has tried to keep that momentum going. |
 |
6. Once Upon a Time remains a Miso favorite, echoing the notion that the series’s first season has won the 2011 Fairy Tale genre competition. Once Upon a Time is the only freshman series to climb into the top 10 after the holiday hiatus, with Fall starts Revenge (#14), American Horror Story (#16), New Girl (#19), 2 Broke Girls (#26), and Homeland (#27) close behind. |
 |
5. Alcatraz made a huge splash with its series debut. After four episodes, the series shot up to the #5 most checked-into show of January. Its pilot was the most checked-into episode of the month, and “Ernest Cobb,” the second episode of the two-hour double debut, retained much of the pilot’s audience, making it the fourth most watched episode of the month. |
 |
4. Our international viewers flexed their check-in muscles, shooting the BBC airing of Sherlock to the #4 spot for the month. The season debut episode “A Scandal in Belgravia” peaks at Miso’s 7th most watched episode of January. The acclaimed miniseries will likely spike again when the second season re-airs for US audiences on PBS later in the year. |
 |
3. America’s underdog primetime sci-fi series Fringe defied its Friday timeslot and lagging Nielsen ratings by taking the 3rd-most checked-in show of January. Its episodes “Back to Where You’ve Never Been” and “Enemy of My Enemy” are the #8 and #10 most-watched episodes of January, respectively. Its future hangs in the balance, but for now, Fringe can bask in its loyal Miso viewership. |
 |
2. The nostalgic comedy How I Met Your Mother takes show #2 of January and the 5th (“Tailgate“) and 9th (“46 Minutes“) most-watched episodes of January. Bittersweet news for HIMYM fans – the better the show does, the longer it’ll be until we find out who Ted settles down with. Just sayin’… |
 |
1. CBS’s juggernaut comedy from Chuck Lorre – no, not Two and a Half Men, we’re talking about The Big Bang Theory - takes the top spot as Miso’s most-watched series of January. BBT celebrated its 100th episode at the #3 most-watched episode of January (“The Recombination Hypothesis“), with “The Shiny Trinket Maneuver” at #2 and “The Beta Test Initiation” at #5. |
