WHAT MATTERS:
- Hard to be too critical of these numbers, but it was the first The Walking Dead season premiere to not set a new series high, averaging 14.63 million viewers and a 7.43 A18-49 rating. Both of these figures were about 15% below last year's premiere. (But of course, they were about 50% ahead of Empire, which is about 100% ahead of any other drama currently on air, so it's all relative...)
- The critically-beloved Fargo was back on FX with a 0.48 rating, down 40% from last year's opener and just barely avoiding last year's series low (0.46 for the third-to-last episode). It's still not too bad by cable/FX standards (it was 50% above this week's Bastard Executioner, for example), but let's see if it can hold up better post-premiere this year.
- The week two dramas saw some fairly significant post-premiere drops, but nothing particularly more stark than usual. American Horror Story's -28% to a 2.15 was about equal to its 27% week two drop last year, and Homeland (0.46) actually did a couple hundredths better than last year's second week (though the year-to-year trend got worse for now because last year had a double premiere).
