Top 100 Primetime Cable: September 16 - 22, 2013
Monday Night Football leads ESPN a weekly win as the most watched network in primetime. MNF drew 14.3 million viewers and a 5.9 rating in Adults 18-49. This was about the average of the doubleheader of week one of the NFL season. MNF COUNTDOWN placed 27th, with 2.7 million viewers for the two hour pre-game.
The series finale of Showtime's DEXTER drew the network and series best ratings of all time, for an original episode. The finale drew 2.8 million viewers and a 1.3 demo rating, placing it 24th on the week. Sunday was a great night for Showtime as the network grabbed four EMMY AWARDS, including best supporting actress/comedy for NURSE JACKIE.
USA was the #2 primetime cable network, with all three hours of WWE RAW finishing in the top 10, plus two dramas in the top 20.
TBS was the #4 network of the week, thanks to a very heavy dose of THE BIG BANG THEORY reruns.
