UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Monday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 9.19.2016

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  THE BIG BANG THEORY gained 0.2 in final numbers, with the rest of the CBS line-up remaining as-is.  NBC also remained at the morning numbers, but it’s worth noting that in quarter-hour ratings, THE GOOD PLACE fell from 2.8 to 1.9 in the course of its hour, not a sign of viewer satisfaction.  Also, GOTHAM added an extra 0.1 to its number.  Finally, both reruns of SUPERGIRL dropped 0.1.
