Note: In addition to our traditional detailed demographic chart for the top 25 cable originals, be sure to try our new expanded searchable table for the top 100 originals on cable at the bottom of the post.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  The NBA PLAYOFFS were once again on top, with double features on both TNT (1.39/0.87) and ESPN (1.27/1.17).   Adult Swim had 3 of the next 4 slots, with 0.67 (up 0.10) for KILL LA KILL, 0.65 (up 0.12) for SWORD ART ONLINE, and 0.56 (up 0.18) for INUYASHA, all of which aired in the 12:30-2AM very late-night hours.  HBO as usual reported its BOXING ratings in pieces, ranging from 0.63 to 0.48.  At 0.32/0.30, HGTV’s LOG CABIN LIVING was down from last week’s 2 episodes at 0.41/0.38.  OUTLANDER (Starz) slipped 0.02 to 0.29.  Airing this week on BBCAmerica alone, ORPHAN BLACK was down 0.05 to 0.14, although last week it also aired on 4 other networks for a cumulative 0.21.  TATAU lost more than half its 18-49 viewers at 0.03, and about half its total viewers at 124K.
