CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  ESPN’s MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL plunged 1.61 from last week’s game to 2.61, presumably in part because of limited interest in a Colts blowout of the Jets.  Discovery’s STREET OUTLAWS rose 0.14 to 1.16.  On VH1, LOVE & HIP-HOP dipped 0.11 to 1.15, and was followed by a DIVAS HOLIDAY special at 0.61 (way below last week’s BLACK INK CREW at 1.10) and MARTHA & SNOOP’S POTLUCK DINNER, which was down 0.26 with the lower lead-in to 0.49.  USA’s WWE telecast was at 1.04/0.96/0.92, compared to 1.09/1.08/1.08 last week.  An MTV TEEN MOM REUNION special was at 0.82, up 0.08 from last week’s episode, with a lead-out REUNITED special at 0.47.  On Bravo, VANDERPUMP RULES gained 0.05 to 0.61, and TIMBER CREEK LODGE was at 0.19. On TBS, AMERICAN DAD ticked down to 0.60, PEOPLE OF EARTH was up 0.03 to 0.36, and FULL FRONTAL returned at 0.33.  On History, AMERICAN PICKERS slipped 0.03 to 0.38, and PAWN STARS was down 0.04 to 0.34.  ID’s PEOPLE MAGAZINE INVESTIGATES held at 0.33, and DEADLIEST DECADE was up 0.03 to 0.31.  On Food Network, CHOPPED was at 0.33, and CAKE WARS added a tick for 0.29. Nat Geo’s MARS edged up 0.02 to 0.18, and EXPLORER fell 0.02 to 0.05.
