UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Monday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 10.2.2017

 

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  As expected, both DANCING WITH THE STARS and THE GOOD DOCTOR dropped 0.2 after football adjustment, but 2.2 for THE GOOD DOCTOR is still a great number, and unsurprisingly ABC has already given it a full-season order.  On CBS, THE BIG BANG THEORY gained 0.2 in final numbers, but KEVIN CAN WAIT and SCORPION both lost 0.1.  On NBC, THE VOICE rose 0.1 but THE BRAVE lost the same.  The LEGENDS OF TOMORROW rerun on CW also lost 0.1.
