I had assumed that the Cable TV Shows I watch on Bravo were top-rated Cable TV Shows. I was wrong.
Not a single show currently running on Bravo is in the Top 15.
No Flipping Out, no Top Chef, No Real Housewives of D.C. or New Jersey.
A show that used to be on Bravo, but moved to Lifetime, Project Runway, is also not in the Top 15.
I thought Project Runway was one of the most popular Cable TV Reality Shows.
I watch none of the Top 15 Cable TV Shows. Number 1 is The Closer in TNT. Never seen it. Number 2 is Rizzoli & Isles, also on TNT. Never heard of it. Pawn Stars on the History Channel is Number 3 and 4. I have heard of Pawn Stars, but have never watched it. Of all the good stuff on the History Channel it seems sad that Pawns Stars is the History Channel's top-rated show.
I have heard of Jersey Shore on MTV. Never watched it. It's Number 6 with 5,5 million viewers.
I have heard of Hannah Montana. Something called Hannah Montana Forever, on Disney, is Number 14.
The only show on the list of the Top 15 that I've actually watched a little of. And been appalled by, is Keeping up with the Kardashians on E!. 4.7 million viewers watched the Kardashians last week.
Anyway, below is Nielsen's Top 15 Cable TV Shows...
