Ratings, ratings everywhere

FYI, the premiere of USA's "PSYCH" drew 6.1 million viewers. Pretty good for basic cable. Actually, the best debut for a new show of the year on cable.

Also, the World Cup final I was talking about in TV Talk today initially scored an 8.6 rating (about 12 million viewers) in the overnight Nielsens, but that fell to a 7.0 (about 10 million) when the fast ratings came out later on Monday. The final numbers should be out today. My point about soccer gaining on other sporting events still stands, however.
