UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Sunday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 11.13.2016

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  After adjustment for NFL overrun, CBS’s numbers jumped all over the place, with 60 MINUTES up 0.02 to 3.4, NCIS: LA down 0.03 to 1.6, MADAM SECRETARY down 0.1 to 1.0, and ELEMENTARY steady at 0.7.  In addition, NBC’s SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL ended up at 7.7, up 1.1 from last week’s game (and up 0.7 from 2015’s parallel game).

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  AMC’s THE WALKING DEAD continued to be mammoth but on a downward, slide, off by 0.25 to 5.43, with TALKING DEAD down 0.12 to 1.71, and COMIC BOOK MEN down 0.04 to 0.33.  HBO just renewed its full Sunday line-up, and WESTWORLD was up 0.07 to 0.78, DIVORCE ticked down to 0.16, INSECURE rose 0.04 to 0.17 (notably, this was the first time the less expensive and lower-profile INSECURE beat DIVORCE), and the season finale of LAST WEEK TONIGHT was up 0.07 to 0.47.  On Showtime, SHAMELESS dropped 0.07 to 0.48, and the season (?) finale of MASTERS OF SEX lost a tick to 0.12.  Hallmark’s movie of the night CHRISTMAS COOKIES was at 0.61.  Perhaps a fan of Adult Swim’s YOUR PRETTY FACE can explain its 0.24 plunge to 0.37, and DREAM CORP LLC’s 0.17 drop to 0.32.  On Starz, ASH VS. EVIL DEAD rose 0.03 to 0.18, and BLUNT TALK was up 0.02 to 0.07, rejoining the Top 150 chart.  USA’s EYEWITNESS held at 0.15.  The “sneak” of the TNT pilot GOOD BEHAVIOR (which officially premieres Tuesday night with a 2d episode, and has also been available online and via VOD) was undistinguished at 0.14, especially since it followed a 0.36 lead-in from the movie EDGE OF TOMORROW.

Unscripted was led by Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA, up a tick to 1.09, with REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY up 0.03 to 0.77, and MARRIED TO MEDICINE down 0.06 to 0.65.  TLC aired 3 hours of 90 DAY FIANCE-related programming at 0.64/0.63/0.55, up from last week’s 0.04/0.51/0.49.  E!’s KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS edged up 0.02 to 0.56, and WAGS was up 0.03 to 0.24.  On Discovery, ALASKA: THE LAST FRONTIER climbed 0.05 to 0.51, and EDGE OF ALASKA ticked up to 0.30.  On Food Network, HOLIDAY BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP jumped 0.12 to 0.50, CLASH OF THE GRANDMAS debuted at 0.38, and GUY’S GROCERY GAMES added a tick to 0.38.  Spike’s BAR RESCUE fell 0.07 to 0.25.
