On the heels of Kyra Sedgwick winning the best actress Emmy, The Closer saw a spike in viewers. Unfortunately (at least as far as advertising revenue goes), they were all aged 50+ viewers. The Closer added more than 550,000 total viewers to hit 7.6 million, a season high. But the 1.4 adults 18-49 rating was unchanged from last week.
Meanwhile Rizzoli & Isles dropped a few hundred thousand viewers, and more importantly, 0.3 ratings points with adults 18-49 to 6.4 million and a 1.3 rating with adults 18-49. It was the first time in a while (perhaps all season) that Rizzoli & Isles had fewer 18-49 viewers than The Closer. Rizzoli & Isles has already been renewed and these are still decent numbers (great numbers, with viewers) by cable standards.
No Emmy spike due to Kate Gosselin's appearance on the Emmy Awards. Kate Plus 8 returned with numbers good by TLC standards perhaps, but tiny compared to Ms. Gosselin's ratings heyday.

3.8 for a Housewives Reunion? Damn, the reunions usually get less viewers than the regular episodes. Wonder if it’ll top 4 million next week when Danielle leaves the show.
Man Adventure Time is rolling. And neither episode last night was new.
When Theresa swatted Andy Cohen away like a fly…reality TV history. Absolutely hilarious.
Its good to see Kate Gosselins 15 minutes of fame starting to end.
Well the press release says highest-rated Housewives franchise ep ever.
I wonder if Raw or Covert will be higher this week.
Awesome ratings for The Closer, and it was a great episode. What a gap this week in ratings between it and R & I. What a stellar season and once again I am so happy that Kyra finally got her Emmy for her outstanding role as Brenda Leigh Johnson.
Wasn’t a very good R&I ep either imo (a little too Silence of the Lambs, does every show have to have one of those eps now?) but last week’s seemed okay so I’m not sure why the 18-49 dropped unless a portion of them were ‘back to school’ viewers?
Great The Closer ep though and I’m glad it saw a spike in viewers even if it wasn’t the coveted crowd.
Robert, you should give Travis Yanan a gift basket or something for giving us regular cable numbers. I remember the days when you guys would have “Q&A” session with the readers when it comes to cable ratings and how scattered the cable ratings info are on this site. With Travis regular info, monitoring cable ratings are easier now
Go TruTV and Hardcore Pawn…Fantastic TV, I’m Hooked!
You realize that 99% of TruTV shows is fake reality? They hire wannabe actors to enact those confrontations.
Wow, 2.0 for RHONJ? That would have put it in the top 25 last week if it had been on a major network!
I love me some Angie, but the show is awful. They need a lot of work before Season 2 begins. Please get rid of the robot partner.
0.4 and a 800,000+ for The Big C is still ok right?
I think the ad featuring that nitwit woman assaulting that nitwit Bravo host drew viewers like flies to a rotting corpse.
Gee, I hated that Closer episode. It was all I could do to keep my itchy finger from hitting the cancel button. I guess this is why Closer is not my fave. And the ending! I’m not sure I want to see any more episodes after that. It left me sick and shocked, so I guess TBS got their cheap thrill quota for the week.
Rizzoli & Isles is just a bore. Bad acting, stupid knockoff scripts, no chemistry, tepid stars. I tried, I really tried, but this one’s a dud.
Rizzoli and Isles was great last night as always. I only saw the end of the Closer but I didn’t like the brutality of Brenda in the end. Although I don’t know what happened to lead up to that I felt like it was a bitch move by her. I hope the R&I doesn’t start a downward trend because I really look forward to the show every week.
Yeah thats better than Nurse Jackie and Tara were doing, at least viewer wise, during regular season up against more competition though
