Top 100 Primetime Cable: December 15 - 21, 2014

Football dominates the top of this week's cable chart, taking four of the top five spots, thanks to two games on Saturday night, on the NFL Network. ESPN had the most watched game, and program of the week, grabbing over 11 million viewers and a 3.8 demo rating. Right behind MNF, was the Saturday afternoon game, on the NFL Network, drawing 7.2 million viewers and a 2.3 demo rating. I include the afternoon game as it inched into primetime, at the end of the game.

GOLD RUSH was both the top reality program of the week and the top cable series of the week, grabbing the #4 spot and collecting 4.4 million viewers. It has been a while since the top cable series aired on Friday nights, but this is that "down time" for most original cable programming.

MAJOR CRIMES is this weeks top scripted series, placing 8th and getting 3.5 million viewers. the crime drama has had a quiet, but strong winter half of its season, finishing near the top of the charts each week.

SyFy's three part miniseries, ASCENSION, premiered rather flat, with part one finishing 90th, with just 1.8 million viewers and a an 0.6 demo. Part two and three failed to make the top 100. Part two placed 154th, with 1.3 million viewers, while part three recovered a bit, placing 127th and 1.5 million viewers. It has to be a major disappointment for SyFy and puts a possible full series in serious jeopardy.
