UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Tuesday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 10.11.2016

 

 

 

NETWORK UPDATE:  Adjustments were mostly in the networks’s favor, as THE MIDDLE, AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE and FRESH OFF THE BOAT all gained 0.1 in final numbers, as did NCIS, THE FLASH and THE VOICE.  But poor NO TOMORROW sank 0.1 to 0.2, and even by CW standards that’s just terrible.
