CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  For the next several weeks, there won’t be any suspense about what’s at the top of Sunday cable.  HBO’s GAME OF THRONES slipped just 0.03 from last week to 4.30, which means that every episode so far this season has been on par or better with the show’s previous all-time high, 4.35 for last season’s finale.  The bounty spread to BALLERS, up 0.04 from last week to 1.26, and INSECURE, now in a lovely hammock slot and up 0.11 to 0.66, with the return of LAST WEEK TONIGHT up 0.27 from its last airing on July 2 to 0.67.  There was good news for other networks, too, as RICK & MORTY returned to Adult Swim with an impressive 1.48, boosting lead-out DECKER: MINDWIPE by two-tenths to 0.54, and APOLLO GAUNTLET by 0.16 to 0.40.  Starz’s action-packed episode of POWER dipped 0.04 to 0.78.  TNT’s CLAWS jumped 0.11 to 0.56.  FX’s THE STRAIN gained 0.03 to 0.33. MTV’s TEEN WOLF arrived at 0.26.  Things remained grim, however, at Showtime, where TWIN PEAKS (which moves to 8PM next week) dropped 0.03 to a new low 0.06 (with a tiny 240K total viewers), and I’M DYING UP HERE ticked up to a still-pathetic 0.05/135K.  

Unscripted was led by NBC Sports Net’s NASCAR race at 0.65.  On TLC, 90 DAY FIANCE rose 0.03 to 0.51, and SPOUSE HOUSE was down 0.02 to 0.20. Discovery returned from Shark Week with NAKED & AFRAID at 0.50, with a PRE-SHOW lead-in at 0.34, after SHARK SCHOOL WITH MICHAEL PHELPS led off the evening at 0.33.  Bravo’s SHAHS OF SUNSET gained 0.05 to 0.43.  On Food Network, FOOD NETWORK STAR edged up 0.02 to 0.42, and GUY’S GROCERY GAMES was steady at 0.26.  HGTV’s line up was led by CARIBBEAN LIFE at 0.41/0.40, up considerably from last week’s 0.33/0.29.  On E!, BOTCHED climbed 0.03 to 0.31, and FAMOUSLY SINGLE was up 0.02 to 0.15.  On ID, AMERICAN MONSTER ticked down to 0.28, and ON THE CASE was down 0.07 to 0.28.  Spike’s BAR RESCUE ticked up to 0.25.  AMC’s TALKING WITH CHRIS HARDWICK was at 0.09.
