UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Sunday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 9.18.2016

 

 

 

NETWORK UPDATE:  THE EMMYS adjusted to 2.8 in final numbers, still down a big 0.8 from the 2015 final rating.  (The Red Carpet PRE-SHOW went down to 0.9 after adjustment.)  SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL adjusted to 8.2, far below the 9.7 for last year’s parallel game.  Once the late afternoon NFL overrun was removed, 60 MINUTES adjusted to 2.6, and the NCIS: LA rerun went down to 0.7.  As expected, the other big adjustee was the 7PM BOB’S BURGER’s rerun.
