CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Discovery’s ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE topped Friday cable, down 0.08 to 0.51, with lead-out HOMESTEAD RESCUE down 0.05 to 0.30.  It was a strong night for Disney Channel, which had both ELENA OF AVALOR and GIRL MEETS WORLD at 0.45, and STUCK IN THE MIDDLE at 0.36.  Lifetime’s THE RAP GAME returned at 0.44, with BRING IT at 0.41 and a BRING IT lead-in special at 0.28.  Adult Swim’s DECKER: UNCLASSIFIED gained 0.04 to 0.44, and CHECK IT OUT was also up 0.04 to 0.35.  Nickelodeon joined Disney in the Top 10 with a late afternoon LOUD HOUSE at 0.39.  HBO’s REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER was steady at 0.35. History’s ANCIENT ALIENS rose 0.03 to 0.31.  Food Network’s GINORMOUS FOOD was at 0.25.  On We, MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP fell 0.04 to 0.23, and MILLION DOLLAR MATCHMAKER held at 0.16.  An unusual Friday post-Republican Convention installment of THE DAILY SHOW was at 0.22.  Spike’s BELLATOR MMA LIVE was at 0.22.  OWN’s LOVE THY NEIGHBOR was up 0.02 to 0.16.  Syfy’s renewal of WYNONNA EARP confirms that it’s impossible to tell what that network considers a passing grade these days, but after a 0.11 LIVE FROM COMIC-CON special, DARK MATTER lost 0.02 to 0.13, and KILLJOYS dropped 0.06 to 0.12.  Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE returned at 0.11.  Cinemax’s OUTCAST fell off the chart again, down 0.03 to 0.05/173K.
