In the summer of 2011, USA premiered six scripted originals in four weeks. Among these series, USA launched two new originals – Suits and Necessary Roughness — the #2 and #3 new scripted series of the year. In fact, within our competitive set, there’s no other network whose ratings combined with a quality audience comes close to ours.
