We still don’t know The Doctor’s name but we do know that a lot of people are interested in knowing.

Last week, Doctor Who amassed nearly 200,000 combined check-ins and other activity thanks to the countdown stickers that were available on GetGlue. This was enough to put it past Game of Thrones which generally has no problem surpassing the 100K mark every week. With the season finale of Doctor Who in the books, Whovians can look forward to the return of The Doctor in November and ,presumably, more stickers.

The Office topped the broadcast list with 88,210 check-ins and other activities followed by Supernatural. Broadcast TV shows dominated the top 10 last week capturing 8 of the 10 overall spots.

This week we’ll see a rash of check-ins for Arrested Development but how will GetGlue categorize them? Will they consider it a scripted cable show? If so, there’s a chance it will top the chart next week and keep Game of Thrones in the #2 spot.

Top 10 Primetime Scripted TV Shows Overall

1. Doctor Who
2. Game of Thrones
3. The Office
4. Supernatural
5. Vampire Diaries
6. The Big Bang Theory
7. New Girl
8. Scandal
9. Grey’s Anatomy
10. Arrow

There’s a lot of talk about Twitter’s move into social TV and many analysts are now saying that because a major social network is going to make a move to social TV this could be the year when it goes mainstream.

However, a recent article from AdWeek notes one of the “big hurdle[s] facing social TV is the “where does it happen” factor. The single biggest variable in determining just how real social TV will be in 2013 is the technology experience. GetGlue, Viggle and IntoNow, among others, want to be the de facto destinations for TV viewers who are using a second screen to enhance the first.

In other words, which app will people use for their social TV experience? Twitter receives a boost from all of the GetGlue, Viggle, and IntoNow check-ins traffic and it can skew the numbers a bit because those updates aren’t originating from Twitter but apps that are syndicating to the service.

It will be interesting to see how things shape up in 2013.
