AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW (FX) returned from its holiday break to easily top Wednesday cable at 1.46.  It was followed by DUCK DYNASTY at 0.87, with lead-out WAHLBURGERS at 0.61 and the new DONNIE LOVES JENNY  at 0.50.  ESPN’s NBA doubleheader was at 0.63/0.48.  VH1’s entry into scripted programming HINDSIGHT is a good-naturedly enjoyable high-concept comedy, and it had largely solid reviews to help it out, but its ratings were extremely unpromising, debuting at 0.18 and losing 2/3 of its lead-in from MOB WIVES at 0.54.  LITTLE WOMEN LA (Lifetime) was at 0.48, with lead-out BIG WOMEN, BIG LOVE at 0.25.  Bravo’s TOP CHEF was at 0.42.  MTV’s SNOOKI & JWOWW was at 0.44.  On TVLand, HOT IN CLEVELAND and THE EXES returned from hiatus at 0.17/0.13.  The debut of IMPACT WRESTLING on Destination America was at 0.13 in the 18-49 demo, with 359K total viewers.
