MSNBC had the two most viewed shows on cable for the week even though it was really pretty much the same show from 9pm-11pm last Tuesday broken up into two segments(one an hour and 36 minutes, and one 24 minutes). USA's WWE: RAW took the next two spots, with Nick's iCarly rounding out the top 5.
Between iCarly and SpongeBob Nickelodeon took 13 out of the top 20 spots.
Bravo's Project Runway made the top 10 at #6 and CBS hit NCIS made the list twice (#9 and #18) via USA.
Disney lovers: you were again shut out of the top 20, but not the top 40. Phineas and Ferb, Suite Life of Zack & Cody and Hannah Montana all made the top 40 as did Drake & Josh, Zoey 101 and Back at the Barnyard on Nick.
Stargate Atlantis, which was the only thing I watched on cable last week? Nowhere to be found on the top 40 list...

i see the three shows now, but what were the numbers for them?
I'm not a neocon (I consider myself an independent) and I watch Fox News a lot. They just have better coverage and better reporting IMO.
PLUS, there's this:
(Across all age groups Fox News remained No. 1, with an average of 2.2 million viewers in prime time, compared with 2 million for CNN.)
sorry, RJ, but the point of Nielsen not allowing us to publish full data for more than 20 shows is that what we publish isn’t for more than 20 shows.
I won’t publish the full #s, sorry — I don’t want Nielsen to cut off the access we have. But the shows were 35,36, and 37 out of 40. Does the rest really matter to you? If it does, please e-mail me (robert at tvbythenumbers.com) and let me know why. Thanks.
P.S. on a viewers basis its worth noting that in most weeks the gap between the #20 show and the #40 show is usually much less than 1 million viewers. this week it was ~600K

No it does not matter, I just wondered how they faired. I always like to see how a new Disney series does. Thanks for that!

As per Jericho I saw it a couple of weeks back with a 1.0 HH rating for the first week it aired on SCI FI, but it has failed to make the top 10 since then sadly.
