NOTE: Because of a technical glitch, TNT's Friday primetime movie was not included in basic cable's weekly program rankings. The movie was also not factored into TNT's primetime and total day deliveries for the week. Turner Research will re-issue this week's ratings charts with complete TNT data once Nielsen is able to resolve the problem.
