Primetime Cable Ratings: May 6, 2014

It was another sweep of the top two positions, by the NBA Playoffs. The TNT doubleheader averaged over 4.6 million viewers and a 1.9 rating in Adults 18-49, between the two games. As has been the trend for most of the playoffs, the late game always tops the early game, bu the difference in audience size is not a large as we saw in most first round games.

THE BIG BANG THEORY reruns, on TBS, placed for episodes on the chart. After the NBA games, TBS was the most watched network, from 9 to 11 p.m., averaging 2.8 million viewers and a 1.2 demo rating.

Outside of the top 10, new USA sitcom PLAYING HOUSE is being largely ignored by viewers. The Tuesday episode collected just 780,000 viewers at 10 p.m.
