UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Monday Cable Originals & Network Update: 11.30.2015

 

 
NETWORK UPDATE:  As expected, MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL adjustments lowered the NBC line-up, with THE VOICE down 0.2 to 2.8, and the two episodes of SUPERSTORE down 0.02 to 2.0 and down 0.03 to 1.6 (still not bad numbers, although this is the last time the show will see that kind of lead-in).  The only other adjustment was a 0.1 drop for CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND.
