CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  USA’s WWE telecast moved to the top of Monday cable at 1.29/1.27/1.18, compared to last week’s 1.08/1.01/0.94. VH1 was directly behind, with LOVE & HIP-HOP down 0.09 to 1.16, and TI & TINY up 0.17 to 0.80, a rise probably due to it airing last week after a VH1 LIVE episode rather than LOVE & HIP-HOP.  MTV’s TEEN MOM returned with 2 episodes at 0.69/0.63.  Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY was steady at 0.67, and ODD MOM OUT held at 0.23.  On TNT, RIZZOLI & ISLES rose 0.14 to 0.64, and MAJOR CRIMES was up 0.06 to 0.45.  Discovery’s MISFIT GARAGE aired a 2-hour episode at 0.50 that was up 0.07 from last week’s regular episode.  HGTV’s HOUSE HUNTERS and HOUSE HUNTERS INTL were both at 0.43, respectively up 0.14 and 0.18 from last week, and TINY HOUSE HUNTERS was at 0.39/0.36 compared to last week’s pair of 0.26s.  On Freeform, THE FOSTERS was steady at 0.36, followed by the season finale of GUILT up 0.03 to 0.15, and the premiere of CHEER SQUAD at 0.07.  TLC’s 90 DAY FIANCE premiered at 0.34, followed by TOO CLOSE TO HOME at 0.23.  ESPN’s coverage of the LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES was at 0.33. Food Network aired 2 episodes of CAKE WARS at 0.29/0.25, and FOOD NETWORK STAR was at 0.25. AMC’s MAKING OF THE MOB ticked up to 0.18.
