South Park was again Wednesday's top cable show with a 1.4 rating in adults 18-49, down from last week's 1.5. The season finale of Psych was the number two cable original with an 0.9 rating in adults 18-49, unchanged from last week.
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 your show it wasn't in that top 100 list.
The list below is long but you can use your browsers "find on page" feature (usually CTRL+F or CMD+F) to search - that's probably the easiest way to find last night's episode of American Restoration.

CSI: NY doing good for TNT. 0.5 at 12am and 1am. The 11pm showing not bad. They should air it on primetime or at least start at 10pm so the 11pm episode would do well too. I wish TNT could pick this show up.
YAY SPN! Those 0.4′s look awesome.
Woah at LEGO Ninjago’s ratings. It was the season finale yesterday and man, it did really well. The kids show beat out a lot of other adult-targeting shows in A18-49.
I actually thought about TNT picking up SPN for further seasons since they already air reruns. I wonder if they would consider picking up shows like CSI:NY or SPN?
Supernatural is doing good too. The case is not the same with Smallville. I remember it was at 12noon everyday early this season then it suddenly banished to 5am this year.
The NHL did really well with the Penguins/Flyers game on NBCSN. The longer this series goes I think it will have a chance to draw close to 1.5 million by game 6 or 7. The NHL got lucky this year with a lot of teams that will draw well in the ratings.
@ Mon
I agree CSI: NY unfortunately never airs in prime time so it can’t take advantage of bigger numbers. I’m hoping USA or AMC will pickup CSI: NY rights in the coming years.
Psych was great last night. I’m glad that the time between seasons won’t be nearly as long this time.
This is one of the few times that Supernatural has made it into the 100 cable shows. It isn’t a regular thing.
Um, your chart says FAMILY GUY was the winner at 1.4
South Park won the among the original shows but the mistake is it was with a 1.3 not that it is all that much of a difference
Thats terrible for Americas Best Dance Crew. Its lacking numbers were due to either the switch to Wednesdays, TBBT, or the terrible promotion. They shouldve kept it on Thursdays, move Pauly D & Punk’d.
0.9 with 2.7 mil for Psych
Great episode, should have gotten at least 3mil IMO
AMAZING ratings for NINJAGO!!!
Family Guy is a beast. American Dad and Robot Chicken are strong too.
Nice numbers for Supernatural and Law & Order.
CSI and CSI:NY are doing far better on TNT and USA (at those crazy late hours) than CSI: M on AMC in far better timeslot. I expect if the rumors are true the CSI:M will get renewed only if main cast takes cuts and they pass, if CBS renews CSI:NY instead.
To bad Hot In Cleveland and Happily Divorced are both down this week with having been in reruns last week.
I hope tvland realizes that last weeks hiatus rerun week takes the momentum out of the ratings for their sitcoms.
It’s cable, not network tv so a hiatus week is a bad idea.
Continue to enjoy Psych and the great story lines. Will miss, but looking forward to return in the Fall.
@SarahL
actually Superntural is often on this list. At least a few times a month.
Ugly Americans?
The only show that is any good on here (except for Dora
) is Hot in Cleveland. And a 0.4 is pitiful, even with 1,400,000 viewers. Why does a good show like this get horrible ratings, while a stupid show like Family Guy gets a 1.4 in REPEATS?? Seriously???
I think we’ve learned to accept that at times viewers like their entertainment dumbed-down- how else to explain the success of “reality shows” such as Jersey Shore?
