Thursday Cable Ratings: ‘Jersey Shore’ Repeat Tops; ‘It’s Always Sunny,’ ‘The League’ Premieres Up & More

Last week we saw that Jersey Shore could not be stopped by the NFL.  This week even a Jersey Shore repeat had the best adults 18-49 ratings and viewership among the selected group of cable shows we see ratings for. Haters avert your eyes: a 2.0 adults 18-49 rating for a repeat.

Project Runway slipped a bit, down to a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating from a 1.5 last week.

The season premieres of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and The League on FX were both up from last season. Sunny's 1.4 adults 18-49 rating was its best ever, and League's 1.1 adults 18-49 rating was up 78% from the season 1 premiere.
