Third Season Premiere of The Closer Breaks Ratings Record

June 21, 2007

Kyra Sedgwick at the 2006 Emmy AwardsThe third season of the cable series, The Closer, premiered with big numbers Monday night, bringing in an estimated 8.8 million viewers. The show’s previous season premiered with a record-setting 8.28 million people, which means that not only did the third season premiere beat its previous opening figure, it also broke the ratings record for basic cable television.

However, these records only apply to cable series that are supported by advertisements. Consequently, highly-followed shows such as the recently concluded Sopranos, which drew in more than 13 million viewers some years ago, and HBO and ESPN’s Monday Night Football, which brought in 10 million viewers regularly last season, have not posed a threat to the ratings success of The Closer.
