THE SKED Sunday Cable Ratings Scorecard

 

HBO:  18-49 numbers for Sunday’s debuts were in line with the preliminary ratings yesterday, as TRUE DETECTIVE launched with 1.0, and the two episodes of GIRLS were at 0.6/0.5.

SHOWTIME:  The Season 3 premiere of SHAMELESS was at 0.9, down from 1.1 for last year’s debut.  HOUSE OF LIES slipped 0.2 as well, but more seriously in terms of percentage, down to 0.4.  EPISODES, which had debuted at 0.2 for its 2d season launch in 2012, didn’t register in the night’s top 100 cable shows, and may have come back in the same ratings neighborhood.

BRAVO:  REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA continued to dominate the night, although it was down 0.2 to 1.9.  BLOOD, SWEAT AND HEELS was likewise down 0.2 to 0.9.

HISTORY:  AX MEN was up 0.1 to 1.0.
