SpotVault - You're the Worst (FXX) - Fall 2017 Ratings

Cablemetrics: Atlanta, Queen Sugar, You're the Worst, Rizzoli & Isles

These numbers are current through Tuesday, September 6.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Broadcast TV seems to have left the early September premieres behind for the time being, but there are still some on cable. This week, FX gave its Tuesday 10/9c slot to Donald Glover's new comedy Atlanta, which started with a decent 0.53/0.48. It's a good bit behind the 0.83 where The Bastard Executioner started in this slot last fall, but Atlanta may be able to compare favorably going forward because Executioner had a rather epic post-premiere collapse, into 0.3 territory in the second half of the season.

Cablemetrics: The League, You're the Worst, Awkward, The Last Ship

These numbers are current through Thursday, September 10.

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.
  

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 7/24/14

WHAT MATTERS:

• On a generally steady Thursday night, the biggest notable was a show that should've bounced: the season finale of Hell's Kitchen (1.7), instead merely even and thus 26% behind last summer's finale. It now begins just a seven-week hiatus before becoming one of the first fall premieres on September 10. To make matters worse for Fox, Gang Related (0.7) gave back its spike from last week in its last episode with a good lead-in; it'll have to follow Sleepy Hollow repeats for the next three weeks.

• After a decent start for FX's comedies last week, Married (0.41) and You're the Worst (0.29) pretty much tanked in week two, each down over 30%. USA's disappointing premieres held up better; Rush (0.48) was actually up from last week's 0.39, while Satisfaction (0.44) down about 10%. Still... no winners among this bunch.

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 7/17/14

WHAT MATTERS:

• NBC's new comedies Welcome to Sweden (0.8) and Working the Engels (0.6) were each down a tenth in week two.

• Fox had a good night as Hell's Kitchen (1.7) and Gang Related (0.9) each gained two tenths week-to-week. For Hell's Kitchen, that pretty much just got it back on track after a couple disappointing results surrounding the 4th of July. But for the disappointing Gang Related, it was the show's best rating since week two.

• On cable, double newbie launches on FX and USA produced little to crow about. FX's comedies Married (0.65) and You're the Worst (0.44) actually outrated USA's Rush (0.39) and Satisfaction (0.49) on average, though they also had a much better lead-in (the FX movie averaged a 0.8, and quite possibly higher right at 10/9c). For USA, it feels like a long time since the days when they would regularly launch new dramas in the low-to-mid-1's.
