While Monday Night Football kept ESPN on top of the prime time adults 18-49 cable ratings for the week of October 26 – November 1, 2009, USA’s new drama White Collar gave enough of a boost, along with WWE Raw to help it edge into first for average cable primetime viewership. With the baseball NLCS over, TBS fell well back from its recent results.
Nickelodeon, remained atop the total day average cable viewership.

So has USA found its Monk replacement with White Collar?
I really liked the White Collar pilot but was a little disappointed with the newest episode. Hoping it picks up, it seems like it has great potential.
