Top 100 Primetime Cable: Feb 24 - March 2, 2014

Two season premieres populate this week's top 15 cable programs, with TNT's RIZZOLI & ISLES placing 10th and History's VIKINGS finishing 11th.

RIZZOLI & ISLES' spring premiere drew 3.7 million viewers and a 0.7 rating in Adults 18-49, but that was way down from the the mid-season finale, back in September. Two million viewers and nearly 50% of the demo didn't bother to tune in last week, that saw the mid-season finale. But, it does look like DVR numbers are catching up to their normal levels as the LIVE+3 ratings added 1.7 million viewers.

On Thursday night, History's scripted period drama VIKINGS premiered to 3.6 million viewers and a 1.3 demo rating.. That is a near match to the ratings the first season's finale drew, last spring. It is good to see a cable network, known for it's reality and documentary series, have success in the scripted programming genre.

Not having a great season premiere was DALLAS, on TNT. The rebooted series, now in it's third season, could only bring in 2.7 million viewers, good enough for 25th on the week. it is down by more than 10% from both of last season's opener and finale.
