BET flexes its muscle with the BET Awards and captures the number one cable program of the week. It is the only entry from the cable network in the top 30.

The debut of the FX comedy series ANGER MANAGEMENT. The Charlie Sheen lead sitcom drew ratings records, and its two episodes landed in the #5 and #6 spots on the chart. These were the only two programs in the chart for FX.

Week three for DALLAS saw ratings drop another 13% and six spots on the charts. It is still a hit for TNT, just not a mega-hit.
