CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  As we sometimes need to note, many cable networks treat their theatrical movie presentations as “originals,” which is why Freeform’s showing of FROZEN appears at the top of our chart (and HBO’s airing of VACATION is at #3) .  In fact, due to its not-quite-rerun status, Adult Swim’s DRAGON BALL Z was actually the top-rated Saturday cable original even though it’s not on the chart, up 0.02 to 0.70/1.473M.  The rest of the Adult Swim late-night line-up included DIMENSION W up 0.07 to 0.59, PARASYTE up 0.12 to 0.55, SAMURAI CHAMPLOO up 0.12 to 0.50/1.089M, NARUTO up a tenth to 0.47/994K, ONE PIECE up 0.07 to 0.41/884K, and KILL LA KILL up 0.08 to 0.37/809K. HBO’s BOXING was rated in segment increments as usual, and were at 0.40/0.36/0.31/0.29/0.25.  It was a good day for Nickelodeon, which placed two shows in the Top 10, the 8PM HENRY DANGER at 0.39 and a noon POWER RANGERS  at 0.33, while SCHOOL OF ROCK ticked down to 0.30.  HGTV’s CONTAINER HOMES was at 0.34.  Travel Channel made an unusual appearance in the Top 10 with GHOST ADVENTURES at 0.32.  On Food Network, KITCHEN AT FN was steady at 0.28.  TLC’s SEX SENT ME TO THE ER was at 0.18/0.15, down from last week’s 0.27/0.23.  The season finale of Starz’s BLACK SAILS held at 0.17.  Esquire’s BEOWULF was at 0.03/142K.
