CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  NBC Sports Net’s STANLEY CUP FINALS took Saturday cable at 1.11.  A&E’s LIVE PD returned from a Memorial Day weekend break at 0.67.  The Adult Swim line-up also returned from a holiday week off, and performed as follows:  DRAGON BALL at 0.50/0.40, MY HERO ACADEMIA at 0.29/608K, FLCL: PROGRESSIVE at 0.29, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE at 0.21, HUNTER X HUNTER at 0.21/492K, BLACK CLOVER at 0.20/471K, NARUTO at 0.18/439K, SPACE DANDY at 0.15/391K, COWBOY BEBOP at 0.15/352K, and LUPIN THE 3RD at 0.16/368K.  Hallmark’s original movie MARRYING MR DARCY was at 0.37 (tying with HBO’s premiere of the theatrical Blade Runner 2049, which probably cost 100x as much).  ESPN’s coverage of the COLLEGE SOFTBALL WORLD SERIES was at 0.29/0.24/0.23.  HGTV’s HOUSE HUNTERS RENOVATION rose 0.06 to 0.25.  On Food Network, KITCHEN AT FN ticked up to 0.24, and PIONEER WOMAN was at 0.23, compared to last week’s 0.22/0.21.  ID’s FEAR THY NEIGHBOR was at 0.23.  On OWN, WELCOME TO SWEETIE PIE’S gained 0.06 to 0.14, and BLACK LOVE was up 0.06 to 0.13.  On TLC, the season finale of TRADING SPACES was at 0.14, and the season finale of NATE & JEREMIAH BY DESIGN was at 0.11.  Showtime’s PATRICK MELROSE fell off the chart, down 0.02 to 0.02/103K.
