WHAT MATTERS:
- New this week: Adult Swim's animated comedy Rick and Morty, back for season two with a new series high 1.03. The show had palpable heat through season one, starting at 0.47 and gradually growing as high as 0.87 by season's end.
- I haven't said much about the HBO Sunday lineup since it premiered the week before I started doing this, but it's definitely worth noting that Ballers has solidified itself as one of the most successful recent comedy newbies on cable. Its average is only about a tenth behind that of fellow HBO comedy Silicon Valley, even though its lead-in is well over two points weaker. This week was perhaps its most impressive showing yet, as it surged to its second-best number (0.92) and had almost full retention of the gradually dropping True Detective (1.02).
- Mentioned last week that Ray Donovan looked like it might be able to recapture last season's heat. There's no reason to dismiss that possibility yet, as it took another sizable step up to 0.51 this week. (And this time, it also helped out lead-out Masters of Sex, even if a 0.16 is still kinda awful.) It's rather odd to see a scripted show build this much in-season for multiple years. Is Showtime just really incompetent at getting people aware that the show is back...?
