In addition to our detailed demographic chart for the top 40 cable originals, check out our new expanded searchable table for the top 100 cable originals at the bottom of the post.

TNT carried the NBA PLAYOFFS Clippers/Spurs Game 7, and easily topped Saturday cable at 1.88.  Lifetime was strong with its CLEVELAND ABDUCTION movie at 0.93, followed by a BEYOND THE HEADLINES documentary special at 0.84.  The latter stages of the NFL DRAFT on ESPN scored 0.54.  Adult Swim’s late night block was solid although diminished from last week:  KILL LA KILL down 0.18 to 0.49, SWORD ART ONLINE down 0.23 to 0.42, and INUYASHA down 0.17 to 0.39.  In addition, DRAGON BALL Z KAI, which is technically a rerun but which readers have pointed out is being shown for the first time in the US in unedited form, was at 0.59 in 18-49s.  On a somewhat different note, LOG CABIN LIVING (HGTV) was up from last week’s 0.32/0.30 to 0.38/0.31.  PIONEER WOMAN (Food) lost 0.05 to 0.25.  OUTLANDER (Starz) dropped 0.04 to 0.25.  On BBC America, ORPHAN BLACK rose 0.05 to 0.19, but TATAU had to be rounded up to even hit 0.01 (it was actually at 0.006), with 54,000 total viewers.
