NETWORK UPDATE:  The only adjustment from preliminary numbers was a 0.1 bump for MASTERS OF ILLUSION.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  The Discovery listings have ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE as a rerun on Friday, which is why it’s not on the list below, but its 0.96 rating (up 0.15 from last week’s original) suggests the network or Nielsen may have misfiled it.  In any case, its lead-out TREASURE QUEST was up 0.15 from last week to 0.61. Lifetime’s BRING IT climbed 0.07 to 0.51, and lead-out ATLANTA PLASTIC was down a tick to 0.28.  Disney Channel’s GIRL MEETS WORLD, preempted last week, returned to the Top 10 at 0.49, and its lead-in BUNKD, which aired after DESCENDANTS at 10PM last Friday, took a major hit without that monster lead-in, falling 0.40 to 0.35 (although that was still enough to make it cable’s #5 original of the day).  Food Network’s BURGERS, BREW & ‘QUE rose 0.05 to 0.35.  There was more family entertainment from a 4PM run of ALVINNN!!! AND THE CHIPMUNKS at 0.34.  On TNT, COLD JUSTICE gained 0.06 to 0.33, and COLD JUSTICE: SEX CRIMES was up 0.07 to 0.26.  We’s MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP was steady at 0.31.  On Syfy, DEFIANCE climbed 0.06 to 0.30, KILLJOYS was up 0.03 to 0.26, and DARK MATTER stayed at 0.25.  HBO’s REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER returned from hiatus at 0.22.  STRIKE BACK (Cinemas) was up a hundredth to 0.10.  BIG BROTHER AFTER DARK (POP) was at 0.04/114K.
