Wednesday Cable: Top Chef, Tosh.0 Lead, Psych Down + More

We already posted the news about the Terriers premiere on FX, but you can see it again below.

With a 1.4 rating, Top Chef led Wednesday cable with a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating and Tosh.0's 1.3 rating wasn't far behind.

After steadying last week Psych's summer finale dropped and sharply with total viewers  (from 3.7 million to 3.1) million, but only down a tenth with adults 18-49 to a 1.1 rating.

Dark Blue was up a touch vs. last week in the first hour, but back down to the levels of last week in the second hour.  Next week is two more hours, including the season finale.  I hate to predict outcomes for cable shows, but I wouldn't bet against it also being the series finale.

HBO's Hard Knocks finale wrapped up with over a million viewers and a 0.6 rating with adults 18-49.  Not too shabby for a niche sports show on a network that's in a third of the homes that Dark Blue is in.
