Burn Notice
The fast-paced spy thriller returns as viewers uncover the details of the mysterious deal Michael (Jeffrey Donovan) struck in the season finale. This situation pushes Michael into new and daunting territory and brings him face-to-face with some formidable friends and foes from his past. As the repercussions of the deal become increasingly dangerous and complex, Michael will enlist the help of Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar), Sam (Bruce Campbell) and Jesse (Coby Bell).

GRACELAND
Inspired by true events, USA’s new original series focuses on the lives of undercover agents from the FBI, DEA and US Customs who reside and operate under one roof. When forced to give up any shred of normalcy and the question of trust is a matter of life or death, the house becomes a sanctuary, their “Graceland.” Stars Daniel Sunjata, Aaron Tveit, Vanessa Ferlito, Brandon Jay McLaren, Manny Montana and Serinda Swan. From creator Jeff Eastin, this was a story too good to not be told. Premieres June 6, airs Thursdays at 10/9c. Press Contact: Aly Sands (212.664.2902, Alysia.Sands@nbcuni.com)

Royal Pains
After spending the winter recuperating from brain surgery, Hank (Mark Feuerstein) is ready to return to work on the first weekend of summer – or so he thinks. With their Hamptons medical concierge service, HankMed, busier than ever and Boris' (recurring guest star Campbell Scott) death still a mystery, Hank finds himself relying on Jeremiah (new series regular Ben Shenkman) in a very surprising way. Evan’s (Paulo Costanzo) rescue of an influential neighbor (recurring guest star Frances Conroy) has unexpected consequences for his future. Paige’s (Brooke D’Orsay) work at an auction house gives her an eye-opening look into Boris' estate. A newly single Divya (Reshma Shetty) finds her plan to focus solely on work hitting an unexpected snag after the return of an ex. And a change in ownership at the local hospital brings new complications for HankMed. Callum Blue will recur this season as Milos, Boris’ cousin. Premieres June 12, airs Wednesdays at 9/8c. Press Contact: Lynn Weiss (818.777.6682, lynn.weiss@nbcuni.com)

Necessary Roughness
Season three picks up six months after the New York Hawks playoff run at the end of season two. Big changes at the team force Dani (Golden Globe®-nominee Callie Thorne), TK (Mehcad Brooks) and Matt (Marc Blucas) to reconsider their futures with the franchise. After Dani’s success with TK and the New York Hawks, a powerful sports and entertainment management agency run by the seductive Connor McClane (John Stamos) makes her a promising offer to join his firm. The new job could to launch Dani to the next professional level – but at what cost? TK struggles under the reign of a new coach. After a long absence, Nico (Scott Cohen) resurfaces in a surprising place, complicating life for Dani. This season will also welcome John Stamos, David Anders and Karissa Lee Staples to the cast. Premieres June 12, airs Wednesdays at 10/9c. Press Contact: Megan Rugani (818.777.6649, Megan.Rugani@nbcuni.com)

Covert Affairs
The hit international spy drama returns this summer for its highly anticipated fourth season with Golden Globe®-nominee Piper Perabo as Annie Walker. This season kicks off after Annie and her longtime best friend and blind CIA tech-op, Auggie (Christopher Gorham) finally acknowledging their romantic feelings for one another. Things get complicated at the agency, as Annie aligns with Henry Wilcox (guest star Gregory Itzin) in a dangerous, undercover mission that has potentially scandalous consequences for the CIA. Joining the cast this season is Hill Harper (“CSI: NY”) who will play Calder Michaels, an ambitious CIA station chief based in Latin America. Premieres July 16, airs Tuesdays at 9/8c. Press Contact: Scott Radloff (818.777.1635, Scott.Radloff@nbcuni.com)

SUITS
The critically acclaimed, award-nominated and top rated legal drama returns for its third season with a shift in the dynamics at The Firm.

Adams) to do something he never thought possible – betray Harvey. Meanwhile, things with Mike and Rachel (Meghan Markle) get more complicated after Mike finally reveals his secret that he never actually went to Harvard – and they cross a line that can never be uncrossed. Premieres July 16, airs Tuesdays at 10/9c. Press Contact: Amanda Cary (212.664.8993, amanda.cary@nbcuni.com)

White Collar

December 2012 Cable Ratings Guide

2013-01-07T15:28:00.000Z

I'm back with another monthly look at the cable TV landscape! As always, I'll note that I mostly traffic in adults 18-49 ratings below. (That's always what I mean by "demo.") However, these should be taken with some grain of salt. I use A18-49 ratings because of availability and because they're a reasonable way of making comparisons across networks, but be advised that it is not necessarily the be-all-end-all number it is on broadcast. Not all of these networks target that demographic specifically. For the regular readers, shows that just began a season in this edition are in blue.

December was pretty slow, mostly just wrapping up a few stray fall seasons, so this is a relatively light edition. Lots of new stuff to come next month! Please let me know if there are any shows of interest that I'm missing out on!

Monday Night Football (ESPN): As the NFL season winds down, so do the NFL ratings, and ESPN's Monday Night Football was no exception. The MNF average also took a hit from having to air its last game on Saturday (since what would've been its final Monday was Christmas Eve). So it ended up with a 5.09 average, which was actually behind The Walking Dead in the cable supremacy race. That average was down 5% from last year.

American Horror Story: After a sizzling start to the American Horror Story season, it's ended up settling at a level well below last season down the stretch, including a pretty mediocre 1.2 demo in its return from hiatus on January 2. Its 1.46 average through ten episodes is down 9% from last year's first ten.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: It's Always Sunny really struggled in its last few weeks, dropping to a 0.6 demo in late November and then to a 0.5 for the December 13 season finale. That left the season average at a 0.68, down 33% from last year.

The League: The League also struggled down the stretch of the season, posting a few 0.4 demos in its last few episodes. It averaged a 0.53 demo in its 10:30 airings, down by 21% from last year.

Jersey Shore (MTV): The crumbling of Jersey Shore continued down the stretch of its final season, as it managed just a 1.3, 1.3 and 1.2 in the three weeks leading into the finale before rallying to a still underwhelming 1.8 for the series finale. It left the final season as a whole at sixty percent below the year-ago season with just a 1.57 average. Kudos to MTV on anticipating this and ending the show before things got really ugly.

Thursday Night Football (NFL Network): The longer run of Thursday Night Football appeared to pay off in a big way early in the season, when breaking a 3.0 every week appeared realistic. But a low-2's level was more typical down the stretch, and the season ended up with a 2.61 demo average, up by just 5% year-to-year.

Dexter (Showtime): Dexter finished its season on a really good note, nearing a season high for its penultimate episode on December 9 (1.27 demo) before hitting the high note on finale night (1.37). The finale was up nearly 40% from last year, and the season as a whole was up 23% (averaging a 1.13 overall).

Homeland (Showtime): Homeland also took off down the stretch, hitting its first 1.0 demo on December 2 and maintaining it the next week in the penultimate episode. With many threads wrapped up in the penultimate week, I guess a few people bailed for the finale, as it came down a hair (to 0.93), but it was still a sensational season for the Emmy winner. It averaged a 0.83 demo, up by 78% from season one!

WWE Smackdown! (Syfy): 0.7's and 0.8's have remained the norm for Smackdown! on Friday, though in its special Tuesday airing on USA Network on December 18 it spiked to a 1.2. Overall, Smackdown! is down about 18% from its fall 18-49 ratings.

Haven (Syfy): The scheduling was messed up somewhat for Haven when Syfy yanked one of its episodes due to the shootings in Newtown. So through 11 episodes, it's averaging a 0.44 demo, down about 16% from last year (nearly the same amount as its Smackdown! lead-in). The season's last two episodes will air on Thursday, January 17, and it's returning for season four.

Wedding Band (TBS): TBS' hour-long Saturday night show has averaged a 0.57 demo through seven episodes, and the ratings have bounced around quite a bit. I'm assuming this is because it's had a variety of different lead-ins, and it does best when aired after The Big Bang Theory. Either way, I'm sticking with my opinion on the show from the beginning, which is that the way TBS scheduled it suggests they don't like it enough to bring it back.

Rizzoli & Isles (TNT): In the end, the five episodes of Rizzoli & Isles at the end of 2012 consistently hovered right around a 0.8 demo. They averaged a 0.79, down by 16% from the five-episode run at the end of 2011.

Leverage (TNT): Leverage also had a five-episode run at the end of the year, and we eventually learned they would be the show's last five episodes. But Leverage went out on an OK note. After getting pretty ugly 0.5's in its first three weeks, it grew to a 0.6 on December 18 and then a 0.7 for the series finale on Christmas evening. The five episodes averaged a 0.62, down by 17% from last year's winter run.

Hot in Cleveland (TV Land): The return of Hot in Cleveland looked pretty solid by that show's recent standards, pulling in 1.7 million viewers and a 0.39 demo, numbers that were ahead of last year's averages. But as things have settled down, 0.3 or lower has become the new normal for Hot in Cleveland. Through six episodes, it's averaging just a 0.30, down by 19% on last year's first six.

Happily Divorced (TV Land): Happily Divorced also had a decent start before settling down at a much lower level, in this case right around a 0.25. It's averaging a 0.26 through six episodes, which is down by 15% year-to-year.

WWE Raw (USA): The holidays weren't that good to USA's wrestling franchise, as the show averaged just a 1.21 demo in December. That's down nearly a quarter from where it was at this time a year ago.

Burn Notice (USA): Long-running Burn Notice was actually one of USA's more stable returning shows last summer, and that trend continued into the fall episodes. It was right in the 1.0 vicinity almost every week, and the full average ended up at a 1.02 demo. That was just 3% below the regular season run for Burn Notice last year.

Royal Pains (USA): USA made a smart move in airing Royal Pains almost entirely in the summer last season. The only regular season airing was the two-hour wedding special, which averaged a 0.8 demo on December 16. If that's indicative of what a regular season run would've gotten, good decision, because Royal Pains consistently got a 1.0 or a little better during the summer.

Royal Pains - 4.15 - Off-Season Greetings - Preview

2012-12-15T20:06:00.000Z

Off-Season Greetings airs Sunday night at 9/8 C on USA Network.

Sleigh bells ring o'er the Hamptons.
MacGyver cures and wedding plannin'.
Divya's a mess,
There's returning guests,
And Evan and Paige are couple paragons.

It's been 3 months since the events of the midseason finale and things are coming together for Evan and Paige's wedding, thanks to Evan's Groomzilla routine. Marissa's lawyer assures Hank that they can remain in the guest house but Hank has lingering issues over the explosion and seems to suffer a panic attack while visiting the scene of the crime. Meanwhile Divya is not over Rafa - AT ALL - which leads her to make some shocking choices. In many ways, Off-Season Greetings reminds me of a 25 Days of Christmas movie and I mean that in the very best way. Even a cold-hearted grump like myself can get swept up in the awww-worthy moments and I dare you to listen to Paige's speech without your heart growing 3 sizes. Add to that plenty of twists and you've got a finely paced episode that fits the season.

I went into this episode spoiler-free so the biggest surprise to me was the many flashbacks. A good portion of the episode is devoted to the time right before Hank's wedding got called off told from both brothers' viewpoints. It demonstrates the tension between the brothers back then, highlighting how much closer they are now. That's a change I can really get behind. Family and tradition are the underlying themes of the episode. So is making up for past mistakes. Two new characters, Winnie and Owen, help drive those themes home and both are good additions. A few previous characters pop up too including Jill and Ken with his new girlfriend Barbie. There's also a slight retcon to why the brothers came to the Hamptons to begin with that ties to the previous episode.

In typical Royal Pains fashion there are several medical mysteries, including a final surprise patient, and Hank uses his MacGyver skills within the first 5 minutes. What that man can do with Christmas lights and a candy cane! Hank Med should publish a book on how to use household items to create your own miracles. It would be far superior to Eddie's new book, which he tries to hawk throughout the episode. Meanwhile Evan and Paige make every other couple in America look like lazy, uncommunicative, unsupportive louses. Have they even spoken a cross word to each other in the last 1.5 years? Their relationship is particularly touching in this episode and provides much of the heart. As things steadily come apart for the wedding due to a heavy winter storm, they get closer through the power of positive thinking.

Off-Season Greetings airs Sunday night at 9/8 C on USA Network.
