Nip/Tuck is a cut above

By BroadCasting & Cable Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 7/24/2003 7:07:00 AM

FX's new plastic-surgeon drama, Nip/Tuck, nabbed a stellar 3.1 rating with 3.7 million viewers for its Tuesday-night debut.

Also July 22, A&E Network premiered its new spy drama, MI-5, a British Broadcasting Corp. co-production, to a 1.6 rating with 1.8 million viewers. That rating is higher than A&E's 1.2 prime-time average last week, but the network's past originals -- the canceled Nero Wolfe and 100 Centre Street -- used to generate slightly higher ratings.

Bravo's new gay-themed reality show, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, returned with episode two July 22, retaining most of its debut viewership.

This week's Queer Eye posted a 1.4 rating and 1.6 million viewers.
