Has TNT ever had a major hit show?

[mson]

so based on the replies in this thread following the OP's question... it'd be a safe bet to say "No, there hasn't been an original show on TNT that's been a major hit".

Sedgwick won an Emmy for the Closer.

is it anywhere near The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire status? I think that's what the OP was asking.

If OP could tell us what he thinks is a major hit it would help, almost every Rizzoli & Isles and gets 3x of viewers that Breaking Bad did

'Southland' was SO dope….but TNT was it's second home, and it didn't do well in the ratings…..

'Rizzoli & Isles' was easily one of the worst shows I ever watched a half season or so of, but it does relatively well ratings wise….they haven't had much in the way of prestige shows, with large audiences.

Yeah that's definitely what I'm getting at. Hell even SyFy had one with Battlestar Galactica and the CW with Arrow and company. I've never been inspired to watch or recommended anything from TNT/TBS. Damn shame
