By M. Sharpe


506- buzz provenza sykes taoMajor Crimes has continued its domination of the summer season, taking the top spot as the most watched cable show last week.  Edging out fellow TNT series Rizzoli and Isles, Major Crimes brought in 6.16 million viewers in Live + 3 day DVR ratings. That marked an increase of viewers of 66% over the live + same day numbers, as fans of the show caught up with the series throughout the week. Even greater gains were seen in key demographics, where Major Crimes rose a massive 125% to 0.9 million viewers 18-49 years old.

The rest of TNT’s lineup came in behind Major Crimes for the week in Live + 3 day, with The Last Ship (3.644) taking the number 3 spot, trailing behind Rizzoli & Isles (6.15). Murder in the First rounded off the list with 2.32 million viewers, and Animal Kingdom finished the week out of the Top 10.

Last night’s episode of Major Crimes saw slight decline over the prior week, likely due to the record-setting viewership for the Democratic National Convention being aired over multiple cable and broadcast networks. The episode brought in 3.64 million viewers, and was the second most watched scripted offering of the evening. In key demographics, the episode brought in 0.5 million viewers 18-49, steady with it’s season high in the demo from the last few weeks.

Major Crimes returns with an all new episode next Monday at 10pm/9c on TNT

  1. Not me honey I watched MC because I hate politics and I dislike our current choices . I can not in good conscience vote for someone that supports late term abortion , that said I recognize that out of the two questionable choices
    Hillary has more political experience . The state I live in is completely Democratic so no matter who I vote for ( trust me , it isn’t Trump either) my state will vote For Hillary
