The season finale of MTV’s “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” took a minor hit in the Thursday cable ratings this week, despite also scoring the top spot of the night. The reality reunion series was down one-tenth from its previous 1.0 to a 0.9 rating in adults 18-49, but was still noticeably higher than the rest of the shows in the top 25 this week.
Bravo’s “Southern Charm” came the closest behind it with a 0.5, the same as what it had scored the week before. Meanwhile, VH1’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race” rose one-tenth to a 0.4, and the History Channel’s “Alone” maintained its previous 0.3 yet again.
Outside of the top 25, USA’s “Queen of the South” fell one-tenth from its season premiere’s 0.4 last week to a 0.3 this time around. Similarly, after also making its return last week, “Shooter” dropped from a 0.3 to a 0.2. Freeform’s “Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger” was even with a 0.2.
