Ratings: July 31st-August 6th, 2018


I actually had enough shows to do a full list this week, but a couple things came up that had to be addressed and I had no opportunity get this post up on time. Instead, I'll offer some short thoughts on almost 10 shows.

Basketball Wives- Don't know what prompted this move to Sunday nights but the numbers absolutely cratered and I don't see them improving too much from here for the remainder of the season.

Better Call Saul- Good premiere numbers for a show that was off for a little more than a year. AMC has already renewed the show for season 5.

Hit the Floor- Up from last week, but still struggling mightily on BET.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians- Looks like this is on the higher end of last season's average. Good for E!, but don't expect the numbers to go up from here.

Mama June: From Not to Hot- The numbers are still very strong and this is a pretty healthy increase from last week.

Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party- Returns from an 8 month hiatus to basically to the same numbers it was getting on those Wednesday episodes right before the break.

Real Housewives of Potomac- It's still one of the weaker Real Housewives shows, but it manages to stay above water on Sundays and that's all that matters. I expect this show to return next year.

Ridiculousness- This is a very strong block of numbers on Sunday. It has always been a versatile show that MTV can place without much thought or fanfare. Even if the numbers fall, it will still do better than the mostly random reruns they have been airing on the night.

The Originals- The show's numbers stayed very stable this season. They were pretty decent numbers for the summer. Though fans may lament the end of this series, the franchise will live on for at least one more year.
