Replacements for a slew of summer originals at the top of cable’s time-shifted viewing (live+7) list will emerge very soon, but recent history reigned during the week of Sept 13-19. TNT’s “Rizzoli & Isles” led the industry with a 3.15mln differential, and was followed by a pair of “Covert Affairs” eps on USA that averaged a 2.79mln. TNT’s “The Closer” (2.45mln) notched 4th, HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire” (2.40mln) 5th and Lifetime’s “Project Runway” (2.32mln) 6th. Percolating in the next spot was Bravo’s “Top Chef” (1.78mln), ahead of the tire tracks laid by FX’s “Sons of Anarchy” (1.77mln). Syfy’s “Warehouse 13” (1.68mln) and AMC’s “Mad Men” (1.66mln) completed the top 10. (Data provided by Nielsen)
