CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  With THE PEOPLE V. OJ SIMPSON done, its viewers seemed to scatter, allowing for increases throughout much of the night’s line-up.  Discovery’s THE DEADLIEST CATCH led Tuesday cable, up 0.05 to 0.81, with THE LAST ALASKANS lead-out at 0.39.  Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS finale rose 0.06 to 0.73.  USA’s CHRISLEY KNOWS BEST was up 0.08 to 0.66. TNT’s NBA doubleheader featured twin 0.61s.  OWN’s IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG climbed 0.06 to 0.61.  Spike’s INK MASTER gained 0.03 to 0.59, with the REDEMPTION lead-out up 0.04 to 0.38.  On Lifetime, DANCE MOMS was up 0.03 to 0.56.  On Comedy Central, TOSH.0 had a 0.09 bump to 0.53, and NOT SAFE WITH NIKK GLASER was up 0.08 to 0.34.  HGTV’s GOOD BONES jumped 0.14 to 0.44.  TLC’s JILL & JESSA gained 0.06 to 0.44, and THE WILLIS FAMILY ticked up to 0.21.  History’s FORGED IN FIRE rose 0.06 to 0.43.  Food Network’s CHOPPED CHAMPIONS was one of the few in the other direction, down 0.03 to 0.37.  A&E’s STORAGE WARS was at 0.36/0.33, compared to last week’s 0.33/0.32.  On MTV, AWKWARD gained 0.04 to 0.32, and FAKING IT lost 0.02 to 0.17.  WGN’s OUTSIDERS ticked down to 0.31.  On E!, TOTAL DIVAS fell 0.04 to 0.29.  BET’s CHASING DESTINY was coming off a big lead-in from a special last week, and it dropped 0.11 to 0.20.
