Thursday Cable Ratings: 'Jersey Shore' Keeps Rising; 'Royal Pains,' 'Fairly Legal' Premieres; 'Real Housewives' Finale & More

   Once again Jersey Shore set series and network records, with 8.9 million average viewers and a 4.7 adults 18-49 rating, 0.2 higher than its previous record, and more than everything on broadcast Thursday (and the rest of the week) except American Idol, and the AFC Championship Game.
 

   USA’s Royal Pains returned with a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating, and 4.432 million viewers (that’s well down from its late August summer finale 1.8 A18-49 rating, and 6.075 million viewers, but there are no winter comparables). Following it, the series premiere of Fairly Legal also drew a 1.1 rating, and 3.876 million viewers. Neither of those shows were close to what USA shows typically get in the summer, but its hard to know what they expected for a winter start.
The season finale of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills drew a 1.4 18-49 rating, up from a 1.1 last week, and 2.8 million viewers, up from 2.3 million last week.

Setting another series record, last night’s Jersey Shore on Thursday averaged 8.9 million viewers, that’s a 3% increase over the 8.6 million for last week’s Thursday episode.


I will admit i contribute to this monster of a show. It seems like there is no stopping it and it will be around for a long time. These kids aren't going away anytime soon, so hater better start getting used to them :  ) 8.9 Million viewers, next week it will get over 9 million for sure.

If only I could be placed in a reality show such as this one and within 1 year be a household name and make $10Million... One can dream right?  

Skins, Jersey Shore, WWE Raw, The X-Life, Pawn Stars, Greek and more...Monday's Cable Ratings- All your favorite SHOWS

Special episode of Jersey Shore didn't break any records this time around but still beat everything on cable and only came 2nd to Two and a Half Men on NETWORK television.


Its 3.9 adults 18-49 rating and 7.7 million viewers on a MONDAY night was amazing. Especially considering it was simply moved to help launch SKINS. This is a great testament to the success of this cultural phenomenon.
