CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  On Lifetime, the original movie NY PRISON BREAK was at 0.39, with the premiere of MARY KILLS PEOPLE at 0.25.  The finale of FX’s FEUD:  BETTE & JOAN fell 0.06 to 0.30. With the addition of SILICON VALLEY, HBO has its full late-Spring line-up in place.  As with last week’s VEEP premiere, comparisons to the 2016 premiere aren’t apples to apples because 2016 featured GAME OF THRONES, but for the record the number was down 0.58 to 0.44.  Elsewhere on HBO, LAST WEEK TONIGHT dipped 0.03 to 0.40, THE LEFTOVERS departed 0.05 to 0.34, and VEEP was steady at 0.27.  

Scripted programming, however, was led by Adult Swim’s YOUR PRETTY FACE, even though it dropped 0.13 to 0.49.  AMC’s just-renewed INTO THE BADLANDS dropped 0.04 to 0.48.  Hallmark’s just-renewed WHEN CALLS THE HEART rose 0.05 to 0.30.  E!’s THE ARRANGEMENT held at 0.26.  On Showtime, BILLIONS fell 0.06 to 0.23, and GUERRILLA became even more dire, down 0.04 to 0.02/131K.  Starz’s THE WHITE PRINCESS gained 0.05 to 0.21.  

The NBA PLAYOFFS were again on top of cable on Sunday, with TNT’s games at 1.70/1.58, led by Boston vs. Chicago.  On Bravo, REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA gained 0.14 to 1.26, and REAL HOUSEWIVES OF THE POTOMAC was up 0.13 to 0.79.  Discovery’s NAKED & AFRAID rose 0.08 to 0.71.  E!’s KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS climbed 0.13 to 0.70.  On Food Network, IRON CHEF GAUNTLET fell 0.19 to 0.45, IRON CHEF EATS was at 0.31/0.21, compared to last week’s 0.39/0.32, and GUY’S GROCERY GAMES was at 0.30.  On TLC, LONG ISLAND MEDIUM jumped 0.18 to 0.45, and LONG LOST FAMILY was steady at 0.27, with THIS IS LIFE at 0.25.  On AMC, TALKING WITH CHRIS HARDWICK dropped 0.02 to 0.10, and COMIC BOOK MEN ticked up to 0.09.
