Thursday Cable: Jersey Shore Sets New Highs; Burn Notice & Royal Pains Down, But Mostly Steady & More

Jersey Shore's 2.7 adults 18-49 rating Thursday night was the highest-rated program of the night, including any of the broadcast network shows.  The 5.5 million average viewers was also a new high for the series.

Burn Notice & Royal Pains were off a bit from last week, but only 1/10th of an adults 18-49 ratings point.

The Real Housewives of D.C. shed over 200,000 viewers and 0.1 of a ratings point with adults 18-49 from its premiere, and Bethenny Getting Married dropped almost 500,000 viewers and 0.2 with adults 18-49 to a 0.7.

Project Runway was up nearly over 400,000 viewers and climbed 20% from last week with adults 18-49 to a 1.2 rating.

Futurama was nearly identical to last week.
