How viewers will respond now that MTV’s “Catfish” finally provided a happy ending remains to be seen, but Tuesday’s special episode, in which potential perpetrator Derek proved to be everything he said he was<\/a>, continued the show’s recovery from a recent series low.<\/p>\n

Followed by a live after-show that drew a healthy 0.8 rating and 1.52 million viewers, the “Lauren and Derek” edition of “Catfish” posted a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating with 2.37 million viewers. \u00a0Marking a second straight week of increased ratings, the numbers rank as the best for an original cable telecast Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Only two Adult Swim re-airings of “Family Guy” performed better.<\/p>\n

— USA, meanwhile, entered the Tuesday race with its new pairing of “Covert Affairs” and “Suits.” \u00a0While “Affairs” stumbled with just a 0.6 rating and 2.39 million viewers at 9PM, “Suits” premiered season three to a solid 1.1 rating and 2.93 million viewers in its new time slow.<\/p>\n

Below its peak levels and proof that any potential it showed of being a legitimate phenomenon has departed, “Suits” nonetheless deserves credit for building on its season two finale numbers on a new night against special competition from the MLB All-Star Game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3,437],"tags":[436,511,510],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n"Catfish" Ratings Improve Again, Decent "Suits" Return<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"How viewers will respond now that MTV's "Catfish" finally provided a happy ending remains to be seen, but Tuesday's special episode, in which potential\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2013\/07\/18\/catfish-continues-ratings-improve-again-decent-suits-return\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\""Catfish" Ratings Improve Again, Decent "Suits" Return\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"How viewers will respond now that MTV's "Catfish" finally provided a happy ending remains to be seen, but Tuesday's special episode, in which potential\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2013\/07\/18\/catfish-continues-ratings-improve-again-decent-suits-return\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-07-18T04:46:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2013-07-18T04:47:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2013\/07\/18\/catfish-continues-ratings-improve-again-decent-suits-return\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2013\/07\/18\/catfish-continues-ratings-improve-again-decent-suits-return\/\",\"name\":\"\\\"Catfish\\\" Ratings Improve Again, Decent \\\"Suits\\\" Return\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2013-07-18T04:46:43+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2013-07-18T04:47:00+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"How viewers will respond now that MTV's \\\"Catfish\\\" finally provided a happy ending remains to be seen, but Tuesday's special episode, in which potential\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2013\/07\/18\/catfish-continues-ratings-improve-again-decent-suits-return\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
