SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 100 Friday Cable Originals (& Network Update): 6.26.2015

 

Check out our searchable table for the top 100 cable originals at the bottom of the post.

NETWORK UPDATE:  20/20 lost 0.1 and the rerun of HAWAII 5-0 gained the same in final numbers.

CABLE RATINGS:  It was a tremendous day and night for Disney Channel, which had 4 of Friday’s top cable shows.  TEEN BEACH 2 led the way with 1.03–down a bit from the 1.2 for the original 2013 TEEN BEACH, but still a big hit.  Lead-out BEST FRIENDS WHENEVER was at 0.59, and lead-in KC UNDERCOVER at 0.48.  The cherry on the day was a 0.45 score for the 9AM airing of MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE.  The only non-Disney title in the top 5 was Discovery’s ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE, down 0.04 to 0.97, with lead-out CATCHING MONSTERS down 0.03 to 0.39.  Animal Planet’s TANKED jumped 0.17 to 0.42.  MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP (We) lost 0.04 to 0.40.  Food Network’s AMERICAN DINER REVIVAL added 0.02 to 0.37.  There must be some reason that a reader can provide for Spike’s BELLATOR MMA LIVE to have fallen a huge 0.48 to 0.33.  HANGAR 1 (History) gained 0.04 to 0.26.  On HBO, REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER dropped 0.15 to 0.24, and VICE fell 0.09 to 0.21.  Syfy’s scripted line-up was at least consistent:  DEFIANCE at 0.24 (up 0.08), KILLJOYS at 0.22 (down 0.04) and DARK MATTER at 0.20 (down 0.02).  LOVE THY NEIGHBOR (OWN) was at 0.20/0.19.
