Check out our searchable table for the top 100 cable originals at the bottom of the post.
NETWORK UPDATE: ABC’s NBA FINALS game adjusted up to 7.6 in final numbers, and correspondingly the lead-in JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE shrank to 1.4. Elsewhere, the BONES season finale gained 0.1, as did all the CBS sitcom reruns.
CABLE HIGHLIGHTS: Syfy’s WWE coverage took the cable night with 0.73, up 0.14 from last week. That didn’t help the network’s OLYMPUS, which lost a tick to 0.10. We’s BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES lost a tick to 0.50, but CUTTING IT IN THE ATL gained 0.09 to 0.33. RIDICULOUSNESS (MTV) jumped 0.13 to 0.44. History had 3 shows in the Top 10: two PAWN STARS clip shows at 0.41/0.39 (compared to 0.36 for last week’s single clip show), and LOST IN TRANSMISSION at 0.40 (up 0.05). On HGTV, HOUSE HUNTERS was at 0.39 (down 0.05) and HOUSE HUNTERS INTERNATIONAL was at 0.37 (up 0.03). Fox Sports 1 had 3 WOMENS WORLD CUP matches in the day’s Top 25, at 0.27/0.21/0.20. THE COMEDIANS (FX) rose 0.03 to 0.16. MARON (IFC) was at 0.05/108K, a healthy (relatively) jump from last week’s 0.02/78K. At least one person out there cares enough about SMALL TOWN BIG DEAL (RFD) to write in and ask about it, so we will report that it had a zero rating in 18-49s, and 51,000 total viewers.
