Cablemetrics: American Horror Story, Fargo, Homeland, Being Mary Jane


These numbers are current through Thursday, October 22.

WHAT MATTERS:
  • There weren't a lot of big premieres this week, but several of the top shows early in their fall seasons took larger-than-usual drops. Mentioned last week that American Horror Story (1.67) had a big drop in week two, but it was about in line with what the series usually does. Going down another 28% in week three? Not so much. So after the first two points were -4% and -5% year-to-year, this one was -24%. It could be in very low-1's territory sooner rather than later.
  • To round out a rough week for FX, Fargo (0.27) dropped 44% of its same-day demo in week two. (It dropped less than 20% last year.) Homeland (0.37) dipped 20%ish for the second straight week, and The Walking Dead (6.17) shed 17% in week two to slightly worsen its year-to-year trend.
  • Joining this week is BET's Being Mary Jane, which had a solid 0.93/0.98 two-hour premiere. It was down about 20% from last year's 1.16 opener, but well above the 0.6's and 0.7's it was hitting late last season.
