Top 20 Non-Scripted Cable Programs - Week of 05/27/13

History dominated the Reality programming chart for the week, taking 12 spots in the top 20, including the top five. And, this is the first week, in a long time, that DUCK DYNASTY did not place a single episode in the top 20.

PAWN STARS returned with original episodes and took the top two posts, drawing 5 million viewers for the 9:30 episodes. This is down, a little from previous seasons, but the shift to a new night might be the effect of the difference in the ratings. In total, PAWN STARS placed six episodes on the chart.

AMERICAN PICKERS is also back, and still on Monday nights. It still has the ratings power as it drew 4.2 million viewers on Memorial Day.

KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS was the #8 most viewed reality program of the week, but it was the #1 program in the A18-49 ratings, in the genre, with a 1.6 rating.
