The Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality show series has set records after 4.1 million people tuned in last Sunday to watch the new season's premier.

The episode has become the most watched telecast on E!. The record was previously held by The Anna Nicole Show.

We are all thrilled and so grateful! Thank you so much to everyone who watched and helped us break records for the E! Network!, Kim Kardashian wrote on her website.

We've all had such an eventful year and we love that we can share all our ups and downs with you guys, Kardashian added.
