WHAT MATTERS:
- The return of Game of Thrones dominated Sunday night with a 3.98 A18-49 rating. It's the first ever down year-to-year Thrones premiere, but the decline was a very healthy 5% from last year's 4.19 opener. Leading out were returning comedies Silicon Valley (1.04, down 17% y2y) and Veep (0.52, down 5%).
- While Silicon does not fare well by any "retention" measure compared to Game of Thrones, it is interesting to note that its audience skewed a fair amount younger and more male than GoT. It seems that the most male-leaning scripted shows are actually young-skewing comedies like Silicon Valley, Archer and the Adult Swim fare, rather than the action shows.
- Competing with GoT head-to-head for the first time was AMC's Fear the Walking Dead (2.12), which took another double-digit hit.
- And AMC's TURN was back for season three with just a 0.13 rating on Monday night, down by 35% from last year's premiere. (It's even a bit more disappointing than that since the show grew post-premiere last year, and ended on a 0.33.) It was actually outrated by the Tuesday debut of miniseries The Night Manager (0.21), which admittedly seems to be getting a lot more promotion.
