CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  The top of Wednesday cable was filled with sports, as TNT’s NBA PLAYOFFS game led the night at 1.44, and NBC Sports Net’s NHL PLAYOFFS games were at 0.96/0.59.  VH1 aired a LOVE & HIP-HOP special at 0.49, a considerable number but far off the show’s usual Monday pace. On Bravo, REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC held at 0.47, and THEN & NOW WITH ANDY COHEN was down 0.01 to 0.21.  TBS’s FULL FRONTAL returned at 0.43.  On MTV, CATFISH rose 0.04 to 0.41, and ARE YOU THE ONE was down 0.03 to 0.16.  The news kept MSNBC’s RACHEL MADDOW SHOW in the Top 10 at 0.39/2.7M, above Fox News’s HANNITY (0.34/2.6M) and CNN’s ANDERSON COOPER 360 (0.32/1.5M).  ID’s REASONABLE DOUBT climbed 0.09 to 0.35, and SEE NO EVIL was up 0.01 to 0.26. On HGTV, HOUSE HUNTERS gained 0.04 to 0.35, and PROPERTY BROTHERS was steady at 0.30.  On TLC, MY 600-LB LIFE shed 0.03 to 0.33, and SKIN TIGHT was up 0.02 to 0.31.  On Lifetime, LITTLE WOMEN ATLANTA ticked down to 0.31, and LITTLE WOMEN DALLAS similarly lost a tick to 0.29. FX’s FARGO fell 0.06 to 0.30.  Discovery’s THE LAST ALASKANS rose 0.06 to 0.29.  The season finale of E!’s TOTAL DIVAS ticked up to 0.29.  Food Network’s COOKS VS CONS was at 0.24. FXX’s ARCHER grew by 0.02 to 0.23.  On A&E, STORAGE WARS was at 0.21/0.20, the same as last week, and the season finale of BILLY THE EXTERMINATOR was at 0.18/0.17, compared to 0.20/0.19.  The season (and probable network) finale of WGNAmerica’s UNDERGROUND ticked up to 0.17.  The finale of Comedy Central’s COMEDY JAM was down 0.02 to 0.11.  On TV Land, LOPEZ gained 0.02 to 0.10, and NOBODIES ticked down to 0.06. IFC’s BROCKMIRE added a tick for 0.07.  POP remained below chart-level, with HOLLYWOOD DARLINGS steady at 0.04/191K, and RETURN OF THE MAC holding at 0.02/78K.  Sundance’s GOMORRAH remained level, for what it’s worth, at 0.01/56K.
