NETWORK FINALS:  THE BIG BANG THEORY did gain 0.1 in final numbers (leaving it at 2.79 to be more specific), although that still leaves it at a very low level by its standards.  In addition, GREY’S ANATOMY (2.06) and SCANDAL (1.64) adjusted just enough to respectively move up and down 0.1.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  History went all-SWAMP PEOPLE last night, and it gave the network both of Thursday cable’s Top 2 shows and 3 of the Top 10, with scores of 0.62 at 9PM, 0.60 at 10PM, and 0.40 at 8PM.  TNT’s NBA game was Boston vs. Chicago at 0.51.  On HGTV, FLIP OR FLOP rose 0.04 to 0.46, HOUSE HUNTERS ticked up to 0.37, and HOUSE HUNTERS INTL was also up a hundredth to 0.34. Tru’s IMPRACTICAL JOKERS fell 0.08 to 0.45, and INSIDE JOKES ticked down to 0.28.  Presumably thanks to the morning’s presidential press conference, Fox News and CNN were both in the night’s Top 10, with THE O’REILLY FACTOR at 0.44, and the 8PM hour of ANDERSON COOPER 360 right behind at 0.43 (but as usual Fox News was way ahead in the 50+ demo, which gave it 4.5M total viewers compared to 1.9M). and MSNBC’s RACHEL MADDOW SHOW was at 0.35/2.6M.  Bravo’s TOP CHEF gained 0.04 to 0.40.  On A&E, NIGHTWATCH fell 0.05 to 0.32.  Food Network’s BEAT BOBBY FLAY dropped 0.04 to 0.29.  Lifetime’s PROJECT RUNWAY JR lost a tick to 0.26.  USA’s COLONY fell 0.09 to 0.22.  FX’s BASKETS was down 0.03 to 0.19.  CMT’s NASHVILLE ticked up to 0.17, and the subsequent Nick At Nite run was down 0.04 to 0.17/489K.  We’s LA HAIR held at 0.15.  POP’s IMPACT WRESTLING rose 0.02 to 0.07.
