Cablemetrics: Homeland, The Young Pope, Colony, Taboo

These numbers are current through Tuesday, January 17.

WHAT MATTERS:

• We talked about broadcast shows getting hurt by the last-minute NFL playoff game on Sunday, but Showtime is probably hoping that applied to Homeland (0.31) as well. If not, the show was down 45% year-to-year in the same-day ratings, which is probably not what the network was looking for out of the first episode of a three-season renewal.

Cablemetrics: Taboo, Being Mary Jane, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Nashville

These numbers are current through Tuesday, January 10.

WHAT MATTERS:

• FX opened 2017 with a strong start for new drama Taboo (0.63), beating every rating that Atlanta did in this Tuesday 10:00 hour during the fall. Unless it pulls a The Bastard Executioner-esque collapse from here, it's looking good.
