UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Monday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 9.25.2017

 

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  Things slid a bit for ABC after football adjustment, as expected, but even a 0.2 drop to 2.2 for THE GOOD DOCTOR is a terrific result (DANCING WITH THE STARS dipped 0.1). There were also several adjustments at CBS, with THE BIG BANG THEORY up 0.2 to 4.1, YOUNG SHELDON up 0.1 to 3.8, and ME, MYSELF & I down 0.1 to 1.6.  In addition, NBC’s THE BRAVE premiere lost 0.1 to 1.3, and FOX’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finale was down 0.1 to 0.5.
