Network TV and Cable are very different standards in regards to ratings. The top 20 network TV shows last week ranged from 36-11 million viewers. The top rated cable shows ranged from 7-3 million.
The HBO execs said that they kept the Wire on as long as they did because it garnered a level of critical praise that the station needed. The Sci-fi channel did the same with Battlestar Gallactica.
