NETWORK FINALS:  There were no changes from the preliminary ratings for Saturday.

Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart  

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  HBO persists in labeling its theatrical movies as “originals,” which is why STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON is at the top of Saturday’s cable list, although that 0.75 number is genuinely impressive.  The real victor on Saturday was Adult Swim, which altered its late-night animation line-up with good results:  DRAGON BALL Z rose 0.07 to 0.62/1.279M, then ONE-PUNCH MAN premiered at 0.64, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM increased by 0.04 to 0.48, HUNTER X HUNTER by 0.03 to 0.46/942K, NARUTO by 0.05 to 0.40/886K, ONE PIECE by 0.05 to 0.35/768K, and PARASYTE by 0.06 to 0.29/677K.  On HGTV, HOUSE HUNTERS RENOVATION gained 0.04 to 0.40, and BEACHFRONT BARGAIN HUNT was up 0.03 to 0.35.  Current events put a FOX News morning show in the Top 10 at 0.32.  A pair of Nickelodeon shows also hit the Top 10, NICKY, RICKY, DICKY & DAWN at 0.31, and THUNDERMANS at 0.30, with LEGENDARY DUDAS close behind at 0.27.  An original COPS on Spike dropped 0.04 to 0.31, and BELLATOR MMA was at 0.20.  Hallmark’s original movie PERFECT CHRISTMAS was at 0.28, and Lifetime’s movie HONEYMOON FROM HELL was at 0.24.  On Food Network, KITCHEN AT FN slipped 0.02 to 0.27, and PIONEER WOMAN was at 0.26, while both PATRICIA HEATON PARTIES and VALERIE’S HOME COOKING were down 0.05 to 0.17.  On AMC, the next-to-last HELL ON WHEELS fell 0.09 to 0.19, and THE AMERICAN WEST was listed as a rerun but rated like an original, so it may have been mislabeled, steady with last week’s 0.15/1.205M.
