UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Monday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 9.5.2016

 

 

 

NOTE TO READERS:  Due to our upcoming Toronto Film Festival coverage, over the next week some of our ratings posts will not have text, or may have text added a day later.  There will also be only intermittent responses to Comment requests, and there will probably be no Fri/Sun box office posts. On the other hand, we should have reviews appearing of such major films as LA LA LAND, THE MAGNIFICENT 7, ARRIVAL and more.

NETWORK FINALS:  AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR, and the 9PM BIG BANG THEORY and ODD COUPLE reruns gained 0.1 in final numbers.
