True Blood climbs, Being Human starts low + 49 other genre shows

Where ratings are concerned, True Blood is definitely still proving it's not a has-been show.

The hit HBO vampire drama has been at or near the top of the Sunday night ratings race since it premiered last month, and while it doesn't seem to have the punch (anymore) that Game of Thrones unleashed this year, it's still got enough juice to beat just about everything else on its night, and it seems that was enough to get HBO to renew it for a seventh season. Meanwhile, the U.K. edition of Being Human returned to the States for its final bow, Cult and 666 Park Avenue ended on predictably low notes, and Defiance got a strong first-season finale on Syfy.

Check out the numbers and commentary below to see how your favorite shows are doing in Live + Same Day ratings.

MONDAY, July 8

Defiance (Syfy) 2.16 million viewers/0.7

Defiance got a boost across the board to finish a solid season with a very strong finale. We'll see it again next year.

Warehouse 13 (Syfy) 1.41 million viewers/0.5

Warehouse 13 basically broke even for its finale, setting up a last hurrah for next year.

Teen Wolf (MTV) 1.85 million viewers/0.8

Teen Wolf rebounded from a drop last week for another very solid night.

Under the Dome (CBS) 10.71 million viewers/2.7/8 share

Under the Dome fell again in its third week on the air, but its numbers are still putting it well above any of its competitors, so there's no reason to worry about it.
