cable original movie so far this year. A second play later that night scored a
3.6 rating, according to Nielsen Media Research data.
Atomic bolstered TBS' prime time ratings to a 1.9 average for the week of

Turner Network Television tied with sister network TBS for second with a 1.9.
The MTV 2002 Movie Awards nabbed a 5.6 rating June 6 (particularly

The June 4 season finale of The Shield earned a 3.9 rating. FX
finished the week with a 1.2 rating in prime time.
