Top 100 Primetime Cable: August 4 - 10, 2014
The top of this week's weekly cable chart looks almost the same as last week's chart, but with the exception of a couple of entries from SHARK WEEK. Discovery's annual week dedicated to the all things shark, kicked off on Sunday night and two programs were among the top 11 of the week.SHARK OF DARKNESS placed 7th for the week, getting 3.8 million viewers and, the #1 A18-49 rating of a 1.9 score. An hour earlier AIR JAWS collected 3.3 million viewers, and a 1.5 demo rating, finished 11th for the week. With six more days of SHARK WEEK, expect a discovery heavy cable chart, next week.
MAJOR CRIMES was the week's #1 show, hauling 5.2 million viewers. This second half of the summer season, for MAJOR CRIMES, has been a strong performance and has elevated the series to the top of the TNT mountain.
DUCK DYNASTY continues to do well enough to remain as the best of the reality series. Placing 9th on the week, DD drew 3.4 million viewers.
NFL Football is back and pushed the NFL Network to the 19th spot, as the Saturday night game drew 2.8 million viewers, the best of all Saturday night shows.
