Primetime Cable Ratings: August 28, 2013

DUCK DYNASTY Is, once again, the #1 show of the night... and the #2 show of the night, and the #3 show of the night. The Robertsons have truly captured America.

The original episode at 10 p.m. was the #1 program of all of television, in the A18-49 ratings, with a 4.1 mark. The 9.6 million viewers was only slightly behind NBC's AMERICA'S GOT TALENT in total viewers.

The new series, MODERN DADS, followed the hist reality show at 10:30, on A&E. Although it was the #5 show on cable, it basically lost  2/3 of the audience DUCK DYNASTY delivered to it. To early to call it a failure, but the early signs are not good.
