UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 100 Tuesday Cable Originals & Network Update: 10.27.2015

 

NETWORK UPDATE:  WORLD SERIES GAME 1, thanks in part to its length which put it in primetime across all time zones, didn’t change at all in final numbers, remaining at 4.6.  Elsewhere, FRESH OFF THE BOAT, THE VOICE, THE FLASH and NCIS each gained 0.1.  Additional note:  WICKED CITY scored particularly badly among Men 18-34, tying (with IZOMBIE) for the worst share of the night in that demo. Complete coverage of World Series Game 1 final ratings, including a look at quarter hour ratings for the five hour game.
