AMC: Although still massive, THE WALKING DEAD has been consistently falling, down another 0.3 this week to 5.7 (plus another 1.0 from the 11PM re-airing). It’ll be interesting to see how the fall finale scores on Sunday (last year’s had a 5.4, even with the week that preceded it). TALKING DEAD was also down, by 0.4 to 1.8.
HBO: The season finale of BOARDWALK EMPIRE was even with last week at 0.7 (although up around 10% with older-skewing total viewers). It was down a bit from last season’s 0.8 finale. Premieres of GETTING ON and JA’MIE: PRIVATE SCHOOL GIRL are currently below the ratings radar, confirming low expectations.
SHOWTIME: HOMELAND was steady at 0.7, and up around 10% in total viewers to 1.9M. MASTERS OF SEX held at 0.4 and 1.1M total viewers.
LIFETIME: WITCHES OF EAST END, with a somewhat bonkers hour (Asgard? Really?) rose 0.1 to 0.6, with 1.5M total viewers.
BRAVO: REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA dropped slightly, down 0.1 to 1.5 with 3.3M total viewers.
TBS: It’s worth noting that the roughly one-billionth airing of 1939’s THE WIZARD OF OZ had a robust 0.7 rating and 2.3M viewers, with a lead-in from 1966’s HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (0.6 and 1.7M).
