SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 100 Wednesday Cable Originals (& Network Update): 7.1.2015

 

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

NETWORK UPDATE:  BIG BROTHER gained 0.1 in final numbers, but there was no bump for EXTANT.  The only other changes were 0.1 declines for the reruns of ARROW and SUPERNATURAL.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  A&E’s DUCK DYNASTY again led the cable night, down a hundredth to 0.86, but lead-out COUNTRY BUCKS fell a heavier 0.09/0.11 to 0.34/0.29.  The England vs Japan WOMENS WORLD CUP semifinal match performed strongly for Fox Sports 1 at 0.81.  There was good news for USA Network, where SUITS may have slipped 0.02 to 0.59, but the network’s hope for the future MR. ROBOT gained 0.09 to 0.55 (part of that may be due to the fact that the pilot had been available in advance via streaming/VOD).  At HGTV, PROP BROTHERS BUY AND SELL was at 0.54, HOUSE HUNTERS rose 0.04 to 0.47, and AMERICA’S MOST DESPERATE KITCHEN was at 0.39/0.35.  Bravo’s MILLION DOLLAR LISTING NY grew by 0.06 to 0.49, and FLIPPING OUT was at 0.30.  ABCFamily’s BABY DADDY was up 0.03 to 0.37, and MELISSA & JOEY rose a tick to 0.33.  On BET, FRANKIE & NEFFE gained 0.02 to 0.28.  Below the Top 100 chart:  on POP, BIG BROTHER AFTER DARK was at 0.02/110K, and the finale of SING IT OUT was at 0.06/142K; Sundance’s DEUTSCHLAND 83 remained low at 0.02/77K; CONSUMED (CNBC) was up a bit at 0.08/214K; and CAR MATCHMAKER (Esq) gained a hundredth to 0.03/79K.

The DAM report:  the 9PM IMPACT WRESTLING dropped 0.03 to 0.09 in 18-49s and 102K in total viewers to 267K, adding 0.01/51K at midnight (down 0.02/31K from last week).  Quasi-original RING OF HONOR was at 0.05/157K at 8PM (steady in the demo, down 27K in total viewers), and added 0.03/81K at 11PM (down 0.01/64K).
