NETWORK FINALS:  LITTLE BIG SHOTS gained 0.1 in final numbers.

Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart  

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Of course AMC’s THE WALKING DEAD towered over the rest of Sunday cable. But its 5.42 rating, while up 0.54 from last week, was down a notable 1.5 from last year’s finale, a trajectory AMC would certainly like to halt.  Despite the giant lead-in, INTO THE BADLANDS actually dropped 0.13 from last week to 1.36.  TALKING DEAD gained 0.19 to 1.10.

Even though its rating wasn’t close to WALKING DEAD’s, the achievement of HBO’s BIG LITTLE LIES shouldn’t be overlooked.  In an era when even high-profile shows typically drop over the course of their run, the BIG LITTLE LIES finale more than doubled the rating of its premiere, up 0.12 from last week to 0.66.  LAST WEEK TONIGHT returned from a week off at 0.43, GIRLS rose 0.05 to 0.35, and CRASHING was steady at 0.19.  On E!, THE ARRANGEMENT dropped 0.07 to 0.25, after KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS was down 0.09 to 0.61.  Adult Swim’s YOUR PRETTY FACE returned at 0.48.  On Showtime, HOMELAND lost 0.05 to 0.44, and BILLIONS ticked down to 0.27. FX’s FEUD rose 0.04 to 0.35.  Hallmark’s WHEN CALLS THE HEART stayed at 0.22.  On Starz, the series finale of BLACK SAILS gained 0.03 to 0.17, and the season finale of THE MISSING was up 0.01 to 0.04/209K.  

Opening night for MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL on ESPN topped unscripted fare at 1.16, and its lead-in, the WOMEN’S NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP game, was at 0.81.  On Bravo, REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA dipped 0.04 to 1.06, and the season premiere of REAL HOUSEWIVES OF THE POTOMAC was at 0.60.  Fox Sports 1’s NASCAR race was at 0.77.  Discovery’s NAKED & AFRAID climbed 0.12 to 0.57.  On Food Network, SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP dropped 0.06 to 0.34, and GUY’S GROCERY GAMES was steady at 0.32.  On TLC, LONG ISLAND MEDIUM fell 0.03 to 0.29, LONG LOST FAMILY was down 0.05 to 0.26, and WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE lost 0.02 to 0.22.  A WWE special on USA was at 0.29.  Spike’s BAR RESCUE dropped 0.12 to 0.29.
