WHAT MATTERS:
- It was a good news/bad news night for FXX's premiere comedies. The League was back with a 0.49, up 20% from last year's premiere, and continued its long tradition of laser-focusing on the 18-49 demo like almost nothing else on TV. (Its 86% skew is nearly 20 points ahead of anything else on the table, and it means that only about 100,000 of its 720,000 total viewers were out of the 18-49 demo.) But the acclaimed sophomore You're the Worst (0.16) had weak one-third retention in its move from FX and set a new series low.
- I said last week that MTV's comedies always have big drops post-premiere, but this was really ridiculous: both Awkward (0.30) and Faking It (0.20) were down fifty-eight percent from last week's premieres. That means that after the Awkward premiere was up 9% year-to-year, week two was down 53%!
- The top two Sunday cable options Fear the Walking Dead and Rick and Morty each sat out Labor Day weekend, but The Last Ship (0.66) and The Strain (0.50) powered through and each took an 18% hit. But that left Ship's average high enough to hold off Rizzoli and Isles as the top TNT drama this summer.
