Sunday January 13, 2019 Nielsen Finals

On a busy Sunday night on cable TLC's '90 Day Fiance' topped the ratings charts. The show edged out Bravo's 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' in adults 18-49 (0.91 rating v. 0.87), just barely in women 18-49 (1.24 v. 1.23), but fairly handedly in total viewers (2.67 million v. 2.23 million). Lead-out 'Return to Amish' lost more than half of its lead-in, down to 0.31/0.45 in those demos and 1.05 million viewers. Bravo's other entries; however, saw strong retention with 'Married to Medicine' at 0.61 in 18-48/0.89 in W18-49 with 1.64 million viewers and 'Dirty John' at 0.59/0.83 with 1.84 million viewers. On HBO, after a nearly three-and-a-half year wait, 'True Detective' returned for its third season with two episodes averaging 0.48/0.33 among 18-49 and 1.44 million/1.19 million total viewers. This was down hugely from the 2015 premiere (1.42 rating/3.17 million viewers) and finale (1.21/2.73 million) and is actually a series-low for the show (previous low was 0.68/1.67 million for the second episode of the first season). Other programs of note include: Nickelodeon's 'Spongebob' (1.05 million), Showtime's 'Ray Donovan' (1.21 million), and Starz's 'Outlander' (1.27 million).
