Still PLL was the top original on cable last night with a 1.3 rating among Adults 18-49. It was also No. 1 among Women 18-49 where it ABC Family logogot a 2.2 rating. That rating among the overall 18-49 demo was actually even with last year’s S4 season ender and up 18% from the same demo result of the June 10, 2014 S5 premiere. That debut pulled in 2.722 million total viewers or just about 3% more than last night’s 8 PM “Welcome To The Dollhouse” finale.
