'Closer' tops itself again: 9.2 million viewers


September 12, 2007 Capping a strong summer for basic cable, TNT's "The Closer" broke another ratings record Monday when 9.2 million viewers tuned in to watch the cop drama's third-season finale -- the most ever for an ad-supported cable series. In contrast, HBO's new series "Tell Me You Love Me" debuted to underwhelming ratings Sunday night, averaging 910,000 total viewers. "Tell Me" also didn't help its lead-out, the sixth-season premiere of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," which averaged 1.2 million viewers at 10 p.m. That marks the comedy series' poorest showing for a season opener.
