Post Cable TV and Pay Cable ratings--- Anyone know?
Does anyone know sites that track or report the ratinsg on shows on cable TV and pay cable?
I'm more interested in shows I watch like Rescue Me and also FX's new show (which I don't watch), Over There.

But I'm also interested to know what type of ratings HBO shows get, such as Entourage and Six Feet Under (well what it used to get) as well as The Sopranos (when it comes on).

Anyone have any suggestions or help?

Thanks :smile:

Zap2it reports weekly cable ratings:

USA Today does, too.

I'm not sure where to find current ratings info for Rescue Me and Over There, though I do believe TheFutonCritic has them somewhere.

HBO shows are also tracked alongside regular cable shows (though one could make a case for them not being that comparable, considering HBO is a pay channel). As for its shows...

The Sopranos is a monster. It reached 13.4 million viewers in 2002. Six Feet Under did about half that in its heyday (season two), but leveled out to 4 million by the finale (which is still a great number).

Entourage averaged about 2.5 million this year, which is not THAT impressive, but I read an article about HBO liking the show's demographics, etc., and it also has great buzz. It also does better numbers than The Comeback, which I believe averaged somewhere around 900,000. A second season is somewhat unlikely.

For more info, search for 'Rescue Me ratings' (or whatever) under Google news. You'll probably find something.

Really nice for Sopranos, I can actually see it topping that this season.
