Gold Rush again led Friday cable and was up two tenths, again, versus last week to a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating. It also beat everything in broadcast primetime on Friday night, badly.
Tyler Perry's 'For Better Or Worse' slipped sharply from its premiere, down 0.5 points to a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating for each of its episodes.
Flying Wild Alaska was steady vs. last week with a 0.7 adults 18-49 rating.
Friday Night Smackdown! was down 0.3 points vs. last week to a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating. Was there something special about the night? was a repeat of the Tuesday airing.
The season finale of History's Hairy Bikers drew a 0.4 adults 18-49 rating.
Updates via @TVBill: the Lifetime premiere of America's Most Wanted drew a 0.3 adults 18-49 rating and 914,000 viewers.
We only receive the top 100 cable shows for adults 25-54 for the whole day from our primary 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. Will add extras that I see later.
