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 Cake Boss.

That’s actually very good for the Kardashians considering it aired on a Monday and not in it’s normal time slot.
No Secret Life again? Oh dear.
How did Nickelodeon’s new movie Rags do?
…Are you serious? Rags didn’t even make the list? This is not a good sign.
Mrs. Eastwood and Company is a dud.
Not surprised Secret Life didn’t make the list again. That was by far the worst episode ever. They better make a complete 180 with season 5 otherwise they will lose the few viewers they have left.
Looks like NBA + that History special hurt WWE a bit.
At least Keeping Up With the Kardashians went up from Sunday’s 0.9, and by being in a different timeslot. Cake Boss dropped from season-to-season, but I think a lot of TLC shows are like Sister Wives.
Does someone have the ratings for Hemingway and Gellhorn on HBO?
TV makes poor case for demo decisions
Brian Lowry:Disregarding older viewers makes less and less sense

No ratings for Extreme Couponing?! ;(
Not surprised at all to not see Secret Life. That episode was horrible. I turned it off about 20 minutes in.
Wow for all of the bragging about Hatfields, it wasn’t even the highest-rated cable program of the night. Still impressive, but still.
Secret Life viewers making their voices heard. This season SUCKS.
Damn Spongebob Squarepants Movie was on Monday and I missed it
EXCUSE ME, I WOULD LIKE THE RAGS RATINGS NOW! THANKS.
Maybe rags did good but had a low adult demo?
Cable > Broadcast atleast ratings wise.
Sucks Rags didnt make the list. I guess thats what happens on Memorial Day when its clear competitor is Disneys Alice in Wonderland.
@Kaylie, AGAIN, don’t freaking assume things! (Sorry I’m a strong Nickelodeon fan) But rags could have had a very low demo with the adults, but could have done very GOOD in all the kids and tweens demos and and in total viewers! We have to wait until Rob or Bill post the numbers!
SLOTAT numbers, please. I’m a fan of the show and actually hoped this week’s numbers would be bad. The episode Monday night was the worst I’ve ever seen. A total embarrassment and the writers should be ashamed of themselves for writing such garbage.
