SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 100 Monday Cable Originals (& Network Update): 9.14.2015

 

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

NETWORK UPDATE:  On ABC, the season premiere of DANCING WITH THE STARS fell 0.2 from preliminary numbers, but DANCEBATTLE AMERICA gained 0.1.  The AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR season finale also rose 0.1.  All of the CBS reruns were down:  THE BIG BANG THEORY and SCORPION by 0.2, and THE ODD COUPLE and NCIS: LA by 0.1. (The ABC and CBS shifts were probably due in the most part to local preemptions for simulcasts of MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL.)

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Thinking of MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, of course it dominated Moncable cable with the late game at 5.94 and the early game at 5.31 significantly better than last year’s 5.23/5.06.  USA’s WWE coverage ranked next with 1.18-1.06 over its 3 hours, compared to 1.34-1.20 last week.  On VH1, LOVE & HIP-HOP HOLLYWOOD fell 0.22 to 1.11, BLACK INK CREW was down 0.05 to 1.00, and SHE’S GOT GAME dropped 0.11 to 0.76.  On Bravo, REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY gained 0.05 to 0.83, and LADIES OF LONDON shed 0.03 to 0.33.  Discovery’s FAST N LOUD got quieter by three-tenths to 0.60, and RUSTED DEVELOPMENT lost 0.05 to 0.35.  On ABCFamily, SWITCHED AT BIRTH was up 0.05 to 0.47 in 18-49s, and a more impressive 0.20 in F12-34s to 0.61, while CHASING LIFE rose 0.07/0.10 in the demos to 0.28/0.51.  On MTV, AWKWARD gained 0.07/0.10 to 0.37/0.96, FAKING IT fell 0.02/0.19 to 0.18/0.54, TODRICK dropped 0.01/0.09 to 0.07/0.21 and GIRL CODE was up 0.03 to 0.11 in 18-49s but down 0.04 to 0.28 in F12-34s.  BIG BROTHER AFTER DARK (POP) was at 0.03/80K.
