NETWORK UPDATE:  BIG BROTHER gained 0.1 in final numbers, but EXTANT fell 0.1 to a dangerously low 0.6.  The first half-hour of THE CARMICHAEL SHOW also dropped 0.1, while LAST COMIC STANDING gained the same.  On ABC, the season finale of CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP picked up 0.1, while the rerun of THE MIDDLE lost the same. 

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Wednesday cable has been up for grabs lately, and last night it was History’s AMERICAN PICKERS at the top, up 0.04 to 0.60.  A&E’s WAHLBURGERS followed, up a big 0.16 to 0.53, with DONNIE LOVES JENNY up 0.13 to 0.40, and LACHEY’S BAR up 0.05 to 0.20.  GHOST HUNTERS (Syfy) gained 0.12 to 0.40.  On Lifetime, LITTLE WOMEN LA slipped 0.04 to 0.50, and TERRA’S LITTLE FAMILY was at twin 0.48s, up from last week’s 0.42/0.40.  Food Network’s CAMP CUTTHROAT rose 0.07 to 0.49.  The season finale of USA’s MR. ROBOT was down 0.03 from its last new episode 2 weeks ago to 0.46, although even apart from the delay in airing, that episode had a 0.61 lead-in from a new SUITS, while last night it had 0.39 from a rerun SVU.  Tru’s IMPRACTICAL JOKERS was at 0.46.  A trio of HGTV shows occupied the last slots in the night’s Top 12:  HOUSE HUNTERS at 0.44, PROP BROS also at 0.44 (down 0.13 from last week), and HOUSE HUNTERS INTERNATIONAL down 0.17 to 0.41.  On Comedy Central, KEY & PEELE gained a tenth to 0.40.  ABCFamily’s YOUNG & HUNGRY rose 0.06 to 0.37, and KEVIN FROM WORK showed signs of life, up 0.09 to 0.19.  On Bravo, MILLION DOLLAR LISTING was at 0.35/0.21, compared to last week’s 0.21.  MTV’s CATFISH may have aired a clip show, since it was down a huge 0.24 to 0.29.  On VH1, DATING NAKED fell 0.03 to 0.28, and TWINNING dropped 0.06 to 0.17.  TV Land proved itself no slave to ratings when it renewed both THE JIM GAFFIGAN SHOW and IMPASTOR this week.  Interestingly, whether by coincidence or otherwise, this was also the first week the two shows aired on TV Land only, not simulcast on Nick At Nite.  GAFFIGAN was up 0.07 to 0.16 (which was nevertheless half the cumulative rating it had on both networks last week), and IMPASTOR was up 0.03 to 0.12 (less than half last week’s dual rating).  THE EXES, which was always just on TV Land, was up 0.05 to 0.14.  BIG BROTHER AFTER DARK (POP) was at 0.03/114K.

On DAM, IMPACT WRESTLING nearly doubled, up 0.05 to 0.11 at 9PM, and up 56K total viewers to 335, and added 0.02/85K at midnight (up 0.01/2K).  RING OF HONOR was at 0.01/144K (down 0.01/5K).
