History's Swamp People towered over the cable originals on Thursday night with a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating, and its 4.465 million average viewers was a series high. That was up 0.2 from the last new episode I've got in late May. Presumably boosted by Swamp People, Mounted In Alaska scored a 0.8 adults 18-49 rating.
Real Housewives of NYC was down a tenth vs. last week to a 1.0 adults 18-49 rating.
TLC's NY Ink registered a 0.7 adults 18-49 rating.
Watch What Happens Live and First 48 Missing Persons both drew a 0.6 adults 18-49 rating each was down a tenth from last week.

We only receive the top 100 cable shows for adults 25-54 for the whole day from our source. If you don’t see an original episode of a show here, it’s because it wasn’t in the top 100. I attempt to filter out repeats, kids shows, and most non-primetime shows. Also, to limit the size of the list, I list only the top rated airing of each individual show.Will add extras that @TravisYanan reports later below.
