CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Starz’s AMERICAN GODS premiered at 0.36, a step up from lead-in THE WHITE PRINCESS’s 0.20 (down 0.01 from last week).  By way of comparison, the GODS rating isn’t in a league with the 0.90-ish ratings that POWER gets for the network, but it’s around the level of OUTLANDER’s last season premiere (which was on a Saturday).  The RADIO DISNEY AWARDS was at 0.39 on Disney Channel.  TLC’s RETURN TO AMISH came back at 0.33, with an AFTER-SHOW at 0.29. Hallmark’s GOOD WITCH returned at 0.20.  

Sunday scripted was led by Adult Swim’s late-night YOUR PRETTY FACE, up a tenth to 0.59.  AMC’s INTO THE BADLANDS gained 0.03 to 0.51.  On HBO, SILICON VALLEY dropped 0.05 to 0.39, THE LEFTOVERS edged up 0.02 to 0.36, and VEEP was down 0.05 to 0.22. Note that Showtime’s BILLIONS doesn’t appear on the chart because the network or Nielsen mistakenly listed it as a rerun, but it was up a tick to 0.24, with GUERRILLA equally woeful with last week at 0.02/109K.  E!’s THE ARRANGEMENT climbed 0.05 to 0.31.  Lifetime’s MARY KILLS PEOPLE fell a heavy 0.11 to 0.14.  

Unscripted carried Sunday cable, led by Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA, down 0.13 to 1.13, with REAL HOUSEWIVES OF THE POTOMAC down a tenth to 0.69.  On Discovery, a pair of NAKED & AFRAID episodes were at 0.73/0.68, compared to last week’s 0.71 for a single hour.  ESPN’s MLB SUNDAY NIGHT game was at 0.67.  On E!, KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS lost 0.07 to 0.63.  On Food Network, IRON CHEF GAUNTLET rose 0.04 to 0.49, with GUY’S GROCERY GAMES up 0.02 to 0.32, and IRON CHEF EATS was at 0.27, compared to last week’s 0.31/0.21.  HGTV had 7 shows in the Top 20, led by the 10PM HAWAII LIFE at 0.40.  On ID, DISAPPEARED was steady at 0.29, and SCENE OF THE CRIME was down 0.06 to 0.26.  AMC’s TALKING WITH CHRIS HARDWICK rose 0.03 to 0.13.
