NETWORK UPDATE: THE VOICE finale gained 0.1 in final numbers, as did NCIS and A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS.
Ratings in key demos for the Top 25 original cable telecasts (plus a few other lower-rated but noteworthy programs):
With SONS OF ANARCHY done, the top Tuesday cable shows were clustered together within a few hundredths of each other: INK MASTER (Spike), up 0.18 to 0.85, REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS (Bravo), up 0.01 to 0.82, and CURSE OF OAK ISLAND (History), down 0.06 to 0.81. The lead-out on Spike was INK SHRINKS at 0.34, while Bravo’s GIRLFRIENDS GUIDE TO DIVORCE dropped another 0.07 to 0.30 (now down about 40% from its premiere, and down over 60% from its lead-in). Syfy’s ASCENSION miniseries fell by about 30% from Monday’s 0.61 to last night’s 0.43. (Plot-wise, it also took a disastrous turn in its 2d night, lurchling into an entirely different subgenre.) ESPN’s NBA BASKETBALL doubleheader was at 0.80/0.71. MOONSHINERS (Discovery) fell 0.06 to 0.69. GROUND FLOOR (TBS) rose 0.08 to 0.66. On USA, CHRISLEY KNOWS BEST lost 0.08 to 0.61, and BENCHED fell 0.11 to 0.30. On BET, NELLYVILLE was up 0.07 to 0.37. REAL WORLD (MTV) was at 0.32. Without last week’s LOVE & HIP-HOP lead-in, VH1’s HEY, FELICIA plunged 0.37 to 0.19. And the fans brought Adult Swim’s 4AM INFOMERCIALS back to the Top 25, ranking #19 for the day at 0.36.
