According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day ratings data, USA averaged 3.15 million total viewers in the week ended Feb. 1, thanks to new episodes of its original series Monk, Burn Notice and Psych, as well as a strong showing by its WWE Raw showcase.
The Jan. 30 episode of Monk drew 5.93 million total viewers in the 9 p.m. time slot, trailing only TNT’s season-four premiere of The Closer (6.24 million). On the previous night, a new installment of Burn Notice scared up 5.38 million viewers, of which 2.85 million were members of the 25-54 demo.
