“Trust Me,” TNT’s new ad-men show, debuted with 3.4 million total viewers, fewer than other debuts on the cable network despite having the advantage of a lead-in from “The Closer,” Daily Variety reports. By comparison, TNT’s “Leverage” drew 5 million viewers in its debut last month, and in September the Steven Bochco legal drama “Raising the Bar” attracted 7.7 million viewers, Variety says.

‘Trust Me’ Garners Weak Ratings

Maybe TNT would get more viewers if they didn’t charge so much to big dish owners. They should call NPS and allow a better deal. I don’t watch The Closer or Leverage, either, because I won’t pay that much!
I wanted to watch Trust Me, but forgot it was on. It is hard getting used to when new shows are on and getting in the habit of watching. I will be watching when TNT repeats it later in the week.
Leverage is awesome and I am now in the habit of watching it, altho I wish it was on earlier in the evening since I have to work the next day.
