Burn Notice is hot
By fred | July 14, 2008
We’ve already talked about the numbers for Thursday night, but not on cable. But the fact and the matter is, a cable network series did pretty well on the beloved 18-49 demo !
USA’s summer-hit Burn Notice was back for a second season, and its premiere episode averaged a 1.8 rating on the demo, and 5.4 million viewers. That’s a 35% gain in viewers (20% in the demo) compared to the series premiere last summer.
Not only that, but the show was right below ABC’s Hopkins in viewers (5.5 million), beating both NBC’s Last Comic Standing and CBS’ Swingtown ! And on the demo, Burn Notice was also on the second spot, this time behind only Last Comic Standing (2.2), beating again ABC and CBS.
Burn Notice scored a 2.2 on the 25-54, the second best score for a scripted cable series telecast in 2008, behind only the winter finale of another USA series, Monk, back in February (2.5)
