Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart  

 

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  On HBO, after BIG LITTLE LIES rose 0.06 to 0.45, the premiere of EUPHORIA was at 0.17, an underwhelming number although HBO claims that the young-skewing show did disproportionately well in its streaming form.  The night ended with LAST WEEK TONIGHT up 0.03 to 0.27.  Things were worse at Showtime, where CITY ON A HILL had its linear premiere (it had been available via streaming/VOD for a week) at 0.07, with the season finale of THE CHI up 0.02 from last week to 0.16 (but down 0.16 from the Season 1 finale), and OUR CARTOON PRESIDENT up 0.03 to 0.06.

Elsewhere in scripted, AMC’s FEAR THE WALKING DEAD is steadier than its parent, up 0.03 from last week to 0.54, with NOS4A2 up 0.05 to 0.28.  CLAWS is continuing to be simulcast on TNT and TBS, and it was respectively down 0.07 to 0.30, and down 0.06 to 0.12.  Adult Swim’s THE JELLIES was at 0.24, compared to last week’s 0.29/0.27.  Hallmark’s GOOD WITCH ticked down to 0.19.  FX’s THE WEEKLY gained 0.03 to 0.13.  Lifetime’s AMERICAN PRINCESS held at 0.06.  On Starz, THE SPANISH PRINCESS stayed at 0.06, and VIDA was off the chart at 0.03/103K & 0.04/132K, compared to last week’s 0.02/112K & 0.02/108K.  Also off the chart:  BBCAmerica’s LUTHER, up a tick to 0.04/256K.  

TLC topped unscripted with 90 DAY FIANCE, steady at 0.63, with SMOTHERED up 0.02 to 0.44, and the FIANCE post-show up 0.02 to 0.37.  ESPN’s MLB game was at 0.51.  Discovery’s NAKED & AFRAID was at 0.43/0.37, compared to last week’s 0.40.  On E!, KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS edged up 0.02 to 0.42, and RELATIVELY NAT & LIV ticked up to 0.22.  HGTV’s line-up was led by ISLAND HUNTERS at 0.36/0.34, compared to last week’s 0.28/0.27.  On Bravo, REAL HOUSEWIVES OF THE POTOMAC grew by 0.06 to 0.35, and SOUTHERN CHARM was at 0.22.  Food Network’s GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE slipped 0.02 to 0.31.  ID’s DEATH IN THE BAYOU gained 0.03 from Saturday’s installment to 0.30, and MURDER IN THE HEARTLAND ticked up to 0.24.  Paramount’s MARRIAGE RESCUE ticked down to 0.13.
