SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 100 Sunday Cable Originals (& Network Update): 6.7.2015

 

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

NETWORK UPDATE:  Game 2 of the NBA FINALS adjusted up by 1.3 to 7.4, while the pre-game JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE special went down after time zones were taken into account by 1.7 to 1.0.  THE TONY AWARDS avoided setting a record low by gaining 0.1 in final numbers to 1.0.  Elsewhere, GOLAN THE INSATIABLE conquered an additional 0.1, and there were 0.1 bumps as well for the reruns of 60 MINUTES, BROOKLYN NINE-NINE and FAMILY GUY.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  All the hand-wringing about the latest atrocities on GAME OF THRONES doesn’t seem to be discouraging anyone from watching, as the behemoth gained another two-tenths to 3.65.  (Remember, only one-third of US homes subscribe to HBO, so that’s the equivalent of an unearthly 10+ rating.)  SILICON VALLEY rose 0.08 to 1.06, but VEEP was off by 0.07 to 0.41, and LAST WEEK TONIGHT slid by 0.02 to 0.60.  On Showtime, PENNY DREADFUL fell 0.08 to 0.22, but NURSE JACKIE had a nice 0.11 jump to 0.28, while HAPPYISH remained at 0.09.  HALT AND CATCH FIRE (AMC) dropped 0.07 from last week’s season premiere to a fairly lousy 0.14.  SALEM (WGNAmerica) lost 0.03 to 0.10.  Adult Swim’s CHINA IL shed 0.05 to 0.58.  On the unscripted end, NAKED AND AFRAID (Discovery) dropped 0.17 to 0.85.  Bravo’s KANDI’S SKI TRIP fell 0.04 to 0.63, BLOOD, SWEAT & HEELS rose 0.05 to 0.38, FASHION QUEENS upticked to 0.24, and MARRIED TO MEDICINE was at 0.52.  On E!, BOTCHED was at 0.48, RICHKIDS OF BEVERLY HILLS declined by 0.07 to 0.33, and THE GRACE HELBIG SHOW held at 0.14.  ID’s SERIAL THRILLER launched at 0.32.  The highest rated sports telecast was NASCAR coverage on Fox Sports 1 at 0.75.
