Despite stiff competition from February sweeps and the Grammy Awards, Major Crimes made its winter debut with a bang. “Hindsight, Pt. 1″ brought in 3.1 million total viewers, which both won the night as the most watched scripted cable series, but was also strong enough  to push it into 5th place overall for the night, amongst all network and cable programs.

On a night where most shows saw sharp drops due to the Grammy Awards, the first episode of Major Crimes five episode winter serialized arc saw an increase of over 800,000 viewers from its fall premiere numbers. In key demos Major Crimes remained steady with its fall average, bringing in 0.4 million viewers 18-49 years old.

Major Crimes continues its winter season run next Monday at 9pm/8c on TNT.
