SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 100 Saturday Cable Originals (& Network Update): 6.6.2015

 

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

NETWORK UPDATE:  Game 2 of the STANLEY CUP FINALS adjusted up by 0.2 to 1.9 in final numbers.  FOX’s MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL coverage remained at 0.5.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Sports was at the top of Saturday cable, with HBO’s BOXING coverage (which the network reports in pieces) ranging from 0.71 to 0.57.  The UEFA CHAMPION LEAGUE soccer finals were next on Fox Desportes at 0.66.  UFC FIGHT NIGHT on Fox Sports 1 also hit the Top 10 at 0.46.  Starz’s POWER returned at a strong 0.61, up 0.09 from last season’s finale and a new series high–not to mention triple the rating for last week’s OUTLANDER season finale.  On Adult Swim, KILL LA KILL gained 0.07 to 0.56, INUYASHA: THE FINAL ACT climbed 0.05 to 0.45, SWORD ART ONLINE grew by 0.03 to 0.44, and DRAGON BALL Z (not on the chart because it’s technically a rerun, although these versions hadn’t aired in the US before) rose 0.06 to 0.62.  ORPHAN BLACK (BBCAmerica) was far below any of these, but it nevertheless had a good night by its standards, up 0.06 to 0.16.
