CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  HBO’s THE LAST OF US, without Super Bowl competition or an early streaming release, jumped 0.19 to 0.28 (up 0.02 from 2 weeks ago for a new series high), followed by the season premiere of LAST WEEK TONIGHT at 0.09.  Hallmark’s THE WAY HOME skipped last week, and was steady at 0.13.  AMC’s THE MAYFAIR WITCHES rose 0.05 from last week to 0.11.  On Showtime, YOUR HONOR held at 0.03.
