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.

Wilfred (FX) 0.71 million viewers/0.3
Wilfred almost broke even this week, for another less-than-impressive episode.

Zero Hour gained a few viewers but lost ground in the demo fight, not that it matters much at this point.
666 Park Avenue (ABC) 1.56 million viewers/0.3/1 share
666 Park Avenue took a somewhat sizable drop for its series finale, but at least the show's small contingent of fans got to see the whole run.
