USA Network’s "Royal Pains" is on a roll.

Ratings for the third episode of the new series increased 17% from last week to 6.5 million viewers, The Hollywood Reporter says.

The show has grown with each new episode, building on its lead-in "Burn Notice," which was also up 19% from last week.

The two series were the highest rated programs on cable last night. Only Fox’s "So You Think You Can Dance" was ahead of them among broadcast shows.
