CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  As we noted on the Sunday cable post, officially the runs of THE ALIENIST on TNT and TBS were “sneak peeks,” but they were listed by Nielsen as premieres.  Therefore the actual premieres on Monday were listed as reruns, which is why they aren’t on the chart.  Again, the episode was simulcast, with TNT at 0.51/2.087M (bonus info:  the 10PM rerun was 0.23/907K), and TBS at 0.24/674K.  With all these runs over both days combined, the show certainly got a healthy sampling, and we’ll see what it all adds up to next week.

Also not on the chart:  HBO’s premiere of the miniseries MOSAIC, but that was for the more conventional reason that it was at a very low 0.03/273K.

Clearly there was something special going on with USA’s WWE telecast, which zoomed to 1.80/1.70/1.63 from last week’s 1.12/1.08/0.96.  On VH1, LOVE & HIP-HOP was at 0.96/0.93, compared to last week’s 0.85.  Discovery’s STREET OUTLAWS grew by 0.03 to 0.80, with the follow-up hour ticking down to 0.53.  On MTV, TEEN MOM slipped 0.02 to 0.72, and SIESTA KEY was up 0.03 to 0.34.  On Bravo, VANDERPUMP RULES gained 0.03 to 0.64, and SUMMER HOUSE returned at 0.26.  On Food Network, KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP rose 0.04 to 0.44, RIDICULOUS CAKES was up 0.02 to 0.27, and REALITY CUPCAKES premiered at 0.27.  On History, AMERICAN PICKERS was at 0.38 and PAWN STARS was at 0.33.  The cable news race was close in the demo, with MSNBC’s RACHEL MADDOW SHOW at 0.37/0.58/2.9M, Fox News’s HANNITY at 0.35/0.66/3.8M, and CNN’s ERIN BURNETT OUTFRONT at 0.28/0.38/1.1M.  On HGTV, HOUSE HUNTERS was at 0.35/0.26 compared to last week’s 0.31/0.25, HOME TOWN rose 0.02 to 0.31, and HOUSE HUNTERS INTL ticked down to 0.33.  ESPN’s COLLEGE BASKETBALL doubleheader was at 0.34/0.32.  On ID, JAMES PATTERSON’S MURDER premiered at 0.32, and PEOPLE MAGAZINE INVESTIGATES ticked down to 0.31.  Paramount’s COPS was at 0.14.
