Top 100 Primetime Cable: May 19 - 25, 2014


The NBA Conference Finals swept the top five spots , with TNT getting three of the five spots, but ESPN taking the top two. The Eastern Conference match up is looking to be the more attravive as the Miami Heat look to go to the Finals for a fourth straight time, but like last year, they have to get past the Indian Pacers, this year's #1 seed in the conference.

The two ESPN game averaged 7.2 million viewers and a solid 3.0 rating in Adults 18-49. TNT's three games have pulled an average of 6.25 million viewers and a demo rating of 2.5. Look for even better numbers from both networks as each series go deeper into the number of games played.

PAWN STARS was the week's top reality series, with two episodes cracking the top 10. the Thursday double-shot of episodes drew a combined average of 3.7 million viewers and a 0.9 rating in demo. A total of nine episodes of the hit series made the top 100 list.

With just a few scripted cable series on the air, during the holiday weekend, MAD MEN and THE BOONDOCK were your best showing, in the category. Each drew just over 1.9 million viewers, placing in the low 60's of the chart. Explain to me again how MAD MEN is a hit TV series?
