CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Yet more faux-original COPS reruns on Spike crowded the chart, but there weren’t many originals to crowd out. The holiday didn’t change the top of the normal Monday cable universe, although it lowered their numbers, with USA’s WWE telecast at 0.98/0.94/0.88, compared to last week’s 1.14/1.11/1.11, and VH1’s LOVE & HIP-HOP down a big 0.47 to 0.91 (BLACK INK CREW took the night off).  The GREAT AMERICAN EVENTS telecast on ESPN was the annual NATHAN’S HOT DOG EATING CONTEST at 0.47.  On HGTV, HOUSE HUNTERS INTL was actually up 0.07 to 0.37, and HOUSE HUNTERS was steady at 0.35.  Lifetime’s DEVIOUS MAIDS lost 0.02 to 0.29, and UNREAL was also down 0.02 to 0.21. Discovery decided to use the holiday to launch IDRIS ELBA: NO LIMITS with 4 consecutive episodes at 0.13/0.11/0.09/0.09.
