We only receive the top 100 cable shows for adults 25-54 for the whole day from our principal source. If you don’t see an original episode of a show here, it’s because it wasn’t in the top 100.
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 Girls.
Update: Lots of additional data (including some Saturday shows) from commenter Nick is below the table as well as in the comments.

I thought that other post had mad men at 2.0
sigh guess I misread it.

The Client List is still holding steady. Can’t wait for the ratings to shoot up next week for the season finale!
Leoben Conoy, since when, The Killing, is supposed to be funny??? LOL
