The viewers of “Mad Men” can operate a parking meter! Or at least their remote controls: the long-awaited fifth-season return of the AMC drama delivered 3.5 million viewers.

The two-hour premiere, which came after a 17-month hiatus, was the most-watched episode in the series’ history, with 1.6 million viewers among adults 18-49, a 30% increase from the Season 4 premiere.
