NOTE:  Nielsen is slowly grinding its way back up to date, and as of late Wednesday morning PT we don’t yet have Saturday network finals, nor do we have any Saturday cable ratings beyond the Top 150 (which means that for now we don’t have the full Adult Swim line-up, among others).  We’ll update as additional data comes in.
