The NBA Playoff game (Clippers versus Grizzlies) was Friday's highest rated cable program with a 1.8 adults 18-49 rating. WWE Friday Night Smackdown was the night's highest rated cable original, with a 0.8 rating among adults 18-49, matching last week's performance.
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 House of Payne.

Fairly Legal was a repeat? If not, then sheesh! O.O Common Law almost doubled their demo!
Event though it isn’t apparent from the list, Phineas and Ferb was the second most watched show in total viewers.
Go Common Law!
Common Law was one of the worst shows i have ever seen in my entire life.
@redgarlic: Of the shows on this list. It’s possible that Jessie could have beaten it in Total without being in the top 100 in A25-54. Whether or not that’s the case, it *is* a nice bounce-back week for P&F picking up about half a million more viewers after the low rating last week.
Do you get ricky Gertais show ratings?
Good for Common Law it was awesome!!!!
what did Magic City do?
Do you have the ratings for “Jessie” which aired at Friday @ 8 on Disney Channel. Thank you
Fairly Legal was not a repeat.
Yeah.. Dead Files finally made the Top 100!
YET AGAIN….no ratings for Magic City?????
WTF…TVBTN???????
Pretty big rstings drop for Fairly Legal, one episode left….will it get a third season?
Hey, Take a look at the national ratings leader title from TvByThe Numbers since May 4th, are they still playing hockey?
