Thanks in large part to Monk, according to a Multichannel news article, USA has won every week this year so far.

Excerpt from MultichannelNews.com
USA Network: Eight For Eight In Primetime
'Characters' Network Has Won Every Week In 2009
Mike Reynolds -- Multichannel News, 2/24/2009 10:15:39 AM MT

Eight may not be enough, but USA Network has extended its current primetime win streak to that number.

The "characters" network averaged a 2.6 household rating, boosted by its Monday WWE lineup and mid-season finales for Monk and Psych, easily won the Feb. 16 through Feb. 22 span, according to a Disney ABC Media Networks analysis of Nielsen Media Research live + same-day data.

It's a great news

thanks Teresa...fantastic news

Yes Theresa,
Thank you so much for the great news!! Why is it they never have a commercial that says "Monk USA's top rated show"? They have Burn Notice as the top but the number say differently. Maybe I'm missing something. Ah well, "Monk" is top rated with me no matter.

Thanks for sharing, Terasa

DITTO that Ms Teresa

The only sad part of the news is that WWE trounced us by close to a million viewers .....egad the Barbarians are at the gates!!

GREAT news! Thanks Teresa...as always!

Wonderful news Teresa! I`m sure season eight will be even better!

This is all awesome news but i just have one question...

Where is American Idol on this list!!!???

I know I tuned in for the "season finale"...where was it?

American Idol is not on cable. Network shows are rated separately.

I am so happy for the ratings!! I hope the next one, whenever it is, July?, goes into the nice, even number 6 as in million!! Love this show.

Thanks for the numbers Theresa...I'm glad to see us on the upper part of the list... But I agree with 2wolves...WWE topped Monk...Oh the humanity!!!

LTM

I love, love MONK. I'm sure the season eight will still be much better.
I can not wait.


Thanks Teresa for the information.
