The season finale for Hannah Montana topped the week with 6.92 million viewers, leading in to a record breaking season premiere for Sonny With a Chance, the week’s #2 show. Pawn Stars continued its considerable success for History.
The premiere of HBO’s The Pacific wasn’t in the top 25, or even in the top 40, but it averaged 3.1 million in its initial telecast on Sunday night.

Separately, we have already posted a bit of stuff that isn’t on the list above( Damages, Psych and Archer among them) and even Starz’ Spartacus: Blood and Sand and and Syfy’s Caprica.
Unfortunately we can’t post everything, but we post quite a bit, so in addition to the recommendations for finding cable ratings below, I also recommend our site’s search feature near the top right of the site.
We always post whatever specific show data we received directly and see via press release or other trade publications. You can subscribe to our RSS feed and you can also follow @TravisYanan on Twitter. During the week he usually posts some (not all) cable results for each weekday, usually late in the afternoon on the east coast (and Friday night data isn’t posted until Monday) and he posts the links to that info on his Twitter account to the info on Marc Berman’s PI Forums.
You should also follow @TVBill (it’s not Bill Gorman, but he is a TV ratings junkie and sometimes posts cable ratings info). You can also follow me on Twitter, sometimes I will post some cable ratings, though I am not taking requests there…
