Top 20 Scripted Cable Programs for Week of 04/29/13
Scripted shows get a little thin this time of the year. Most have either just finished their season or will premiere their season in the next few weeks. In the meantime, Disney will collect a few of the top spots in this week's Scripted Top 20 Chart.Placing three shows in the top five, Disney takes advantage of the down time of most scripted series. Between AUSTIN & ALLY (#2), DOG WITH A BLOG (#3) and JESSIE (#4), the three shows averaged 3.4 million viewers and a 0.5 demo rating. JESSIE lead the network with three episodes in the top 10.
GAME OF THRONES continues to be the #1 series, drawing 5.5 million viewers. That is up 150,000 from the previous week. The season is down to just four episodes left, over the next five weeks. No new episodes on May 26th.
THE AMERICANS concluded its first season on FX. The finale drew 1.7 million viewers in its premiere airing. FX has ordered a second season, so expect those episodes in early 2014.
WAREHOUSE 13 season premiere disappoints, drawing only 1.5 million viewers. It is the series least watched season premiere and the second least watched episode ever. If SyFy's history is any indication, this will be the last season of the series since viewership is hitting an all-time low.
